Which is considerably shorter than it is in the UK at the moment.dxbroy said:Dubai Blue said:I respect anyone doing this, but especially those doing it over long sunlight hours like in England at the moment. I was under the impression that you're allowed to go by the daylight hours of Mecca, which would make it a bit easier, so fair play to anyone choosing to fast for that long each day.Big G said:The asian lass from round the corner has just been and dropped some grub off, asked her how hard it is,
"Its fairly easy, you just get used to it and the discipline of it from being a child, eat at 9.30 tonight then start fasting at 3.30 tomorrow morning".
She is 1 of millions who will be fasting, footballers included.
That's around 12 hours a day, every day Dave!

What specifically do you hate about Buddhism?
I suppose that's as good a reason as any to hate it.

OK, was forgetting. Just a thought (and not wishing to be offensive) - do many Muslims live north of the Arctic Circle?

My best mate, is muslim. He is a hypocrite though, as since he met me i've introduced him to vodka, vagina and vanity. The only thing he adheres to properly is ramadan. His younger brothers, sisters, mum and dad are strict in their religous beliefs, so he fasts alongside the rest as a mark of respect for his FAMILY, nothing else.
Fasts can be broken, it is up to the individual, but if they are into their faith, then fasting would be part and parcel of that. Which would be embraced as a right of passage, with an 'only cheating yourself' situation.
