Most muslims world over are currently observing the yearly ramadan fasting, a pre-islamic, pagan fasting ritual that was incorporated into islam as one of the 5 'pillars' of islam by the prophet of islam, mohammed ibn abdullah.

The islamic fasting is a rather uniques one because it not actually the real abstenance from food and water but refusing to eat between sunrise to sunset, more like skipping lunch. The eating of breakfast and dinner is however allowed and essential.

What makes the islamic fasting feasting rather than a fast? It is because the average food consumption of muslims go up instead of coming down durin the month of ramadan.

In the arabian gulf, the average monthly milk consumption is 0.9 litres but durin the month of ramadan, it increases to 2litres per person. Yorghurt pot goes from 12.9 per person as against 5.4 per person (also monthly). The consumption of egg goes to 26 per person as against the monthly average of 12.8 eggs. Oil comsumption goes from 1.14 to 1.2 litres person, also on a monthly basis (the source of this data is natioal consumer institue of tunisia).

Also note that spending and waste also increase during ramadan. 5000 tones of food are wasted in every 1st week of ramadan in saudi arabia in addition to the collection of 28000 sheep carcasses in the first two days of ramadan. 45 waste compression machines are also deployed to and 8000 cleaners are employed to clean up the grand month in mecca during ramadan. The list of waste go on and on.

So why do muslims eat more, sleep more, waste more and work less during ramadan? The answer lies in the very heart of islam. Islam does not teach people to control their desires but encourages their people to carr their desire to perverse extreme.

Take for instance a non-muslim who usually go clubbing hence meeting different women, this act is bad and equally condemned by islam. But if i convert to islam and decide to be a violent jihadist (following the sunnah of the islamic prophet) i am entitled to 4 wives and many sexx slaves (this is very ok in orthodox islam) and perfectly acceptable before allahh while allahh condemn the other guy that pick women from a club.

So muslim fasting usually goes with extreme eating and drinking, especially early dawn and sunset. Is that fasting or 30-day feasting?

Even over here in nigeria, price of food stuff goes up during their so called fasting due to increased demand for food from muslims who are supposed to be fasting. Every thing about islam is just a cruel joke.

Islam is such a joke. Eating well in the morning, to sustain the day, and eating well in the evening to sustain the night, how is this fasting? In Saudi Arabia they consume more food during the month of Ramadan instead of less food. Who is deceiving who here?

Very revealing !

I was so amused when reading.

What is the essence of fasting if you have to eat to compensate for the period you abstained from food? I learnt Muhammad wanted to fast like the Bible prophets to show that he himself is also a prophet but he couldn't cope as he couldn't resist his desire for food and sex. Then his allahh as usual permitted him to find an easy way out by taking breakfast, skipping lunch and taking supper. He could also f.ondle and kiss his women during the so-called fasting. I too take break fast, skip lunch and take super almost on daily basis even though am not fasting. What is the big deal in that?

Islam is a spiritual scam.

feasting toh bad.

I will say 30days feasting.
If these people do Christians kind of fast, they will die. 6 to 6 means, 6 to 6.

Insecurities indeed. I guess you don't even understand that word.
If you stand Christians kind of fast you would die.
I have been on three days straight dry, no water no food, then with rigorous prayers, no sitting down down or kneeling during prayers. On your feet. I have done that several times. 52hours, 48 hours. 6 to 6 for weeks is a play.
You, with the way you fast, if you stand to fast along side us Christians, you'll drop

Wetin concern me

Yea,exactly my point... who's competing with you .You want to tell me you haven't eaten or drank anything for three days .

Not once or twice.
Three days straight no water no food. Out of reach of those things. And it's not that your lazy prayers you do knocking your face on the floor raising your hands to Satan. We standing walking about all through prayer time.
Islam is a joke when it comes to spirituality.
