I m wondering how bombings in Delhi can effect someone in London. But it is true, Humanity is deeply interrelated.
if people think that every Muslim is a terrorist , than this misconcept is going to harm everybody. Every muslim doesn't need to prove his innocence.

when i was a girl everything was always blamed on the IRA, the communists too were 'bogey men', i suppose its just how things change, and i guess islamic cultures seem so different to those in the west, not that i am using that as an excuse mind you!! i am married to a muslim man although i am a bible believing christian people have said to our children that they won't go on holiday to turkiye because it is full of terrorists :-(. i am interested in what you wrote about fasting and how it made you think about those who live in poverty, but, they dont have the comfort of knowing there is a good meal at the end of the day do they, so i don't really see the connection. am i being a bit dense?

yes jools you are being a bit dense - i wasnt trying to say wow look at me i am fasting wowow wowowowow!

fasting is nothing in comparison to poverty and starvation

bloody hell - do you really think a muslim assumes that he or she is really feeling waht starvation is?

im not in a good mood - sorry

but for you to say that - stupid

i was just bloody hungry - and trying to tell myself not to be such a baby that yes indeed the fast does break - but starvation does not always end - not even if the blessed West steps in with relief

sorry for my wrath - actually i can say that im not being that rude - whatever

thanks adeel

you are right

my reaction shows how terrorized muslim minds have become

i hate hearing the news that anything bad happening is related to muslims

how do we end this sort of general blame game?

oh, no, no sorry, i wasn't meaning to have a go. just to understand, my muslims tell me that part of the reason for ramadan is to empathise with the hungry and poor, which you then mentioned in your post. sorry, i didn't mean to offend you, when i ask my husband he never gives me an answer, he doesn't really practice, then the rest of the family seem like they can't be bothered to explain properly. i guess what i was trying to say was that i don't really understand ramadan if that is the point of it (empathising with the poor and hungry etc) and is there more to it than i am understanding. does that make more sense or am i still being dense? i didn't think you were being rude. i don't know what the answer is, it seems to me that even if the west steps in with relief it doesnt always work - the relief doesnt end up where it is most needed etc. seems to me that the old adage about giving someone a fishing boat instead of a fish still holds true. hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Ramadan: so for 29 or 30 days you fast during daylight hours and then eat. I can see by your post that it is a difficult regime to follow. Now that it's over I'll help you to snack on your chocolate brownies and carrot cake. Yum!

You have put it very succintly about Israel and what the Zionists have done.

You could be interested in a list of terrorist training camps that I have found, definitely not all run by Muslims:

WHISC Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, Fort Benning, Georgia; Bosnia, Israel and Greece.

Al Qaeda terrorist training camps in: are located in Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, the Philippines, Iraq at Salman Pak, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The wrath of Allah struck Pakistani terrorist training camps with massive earthquakes on Saturday 8 October.

Cheer up Pumpkin. It's not good for your health to take the world's problems on to your shoulders.

hey you guys!

thanks for the comments - jools i was in a foul mood that day
everyone reckons its the fasting that just gets too much in the end! afterall we are used to our little comfort snacks - being deprived gets me irritated - but yeah ramadan is supposed to be a spiritual month in which many muslims actively take paart in prayer, study of the quaran, charity is a mjor aspect too - but i guess i was just doing the fastin bit without the spritual so i found my morale was slipping towards the end!

thanks for the list of terror training camps

terrorism is happening on all sides - india indulges in terror for political gain - but india does a better job at covering up the trail

we had an amazing eid - i made a star pinata - so much fun!

the kids loved the day - but i am tired - i better go

my children are at the school disco must go get them

bye peace
