Wishing colleagues a happy Ramadan.

[dave_c]

Like any decent human being I respect the person's rights to believe in what they want and to worship or not worship a God-concept how they see fit (as long is not shoved at one's face!). I have a number muslim colleagues at work close enough to consider more than just co-workers who are fasting during this most holy period of theirs. Would it be wrong and disrespectful to wish them a happy Ramadan, coming from me a person born under the catholic/christian denomination? If not what's the correct phrase to wish them their seasons greetings, is it "Ramadan Muburak"?

[keyplus90]

You are spot on. Thanks

[THECORBYLOON]

The second word is spelt mubArak" and you may have shops that sell Ramzan greetings cards.

[Abdulmajid]

Nothing wrong at all with wishing them a happy ramadanamadamanadam.

In fact did you know that a small gift of either a sausage roll or a dried sows ear will be most welcome.

The koran actually allows our muslim cousins to chew on a sows ear during their fasting.

God bless mohammed and all his followers.

It's ironic that Ward-Minter uses the surname of a Muslim as his screen name.....

[Ice.Maiden]

I just told one of my muslim friends to enjoy Ramadan, and I was told "thank you very much".
I have no argument with any faith, so long as it's not forced upon me.

[Abdulmajid]

Ooooooooooooooh how racist.

All because I have a "muslim" name????

So because you are a piece of catholic scotch filth you must be a MacDougal then???

Pathetic.

[lindapinda]

Agree with Icey there...we're all entitled to our own beliefs and religions,and,its respectful and thoughtful to recognize the importance of that;-)

[terambulan]

Oh, that's probably why I got a free curry from our take-away? Do muslims give pressys at Ramadan? What does one do in return as am definitely not fasting!

[Ice.Maiden]

Hello again Linda.
Well I happen to know my friends very well, and their faith doesn't interfere with our friendship at all. In fact, I've known them since school days, and they're extremely decent and pleasant people.They don't agree with the mass adversity between Christians and Muslims that's often depicted in the media, because they're intelligent, and can see that there's ignorance on both sides sometimes.

[THECORBYLOON]

Why do you assume that I am either Roman Catholic or scotch (sic) scum? For a man who is so anti-Islamic, it is odd that you use the surname of a Muslim.

Please point out the racist content in ma second posting.

[Abdulmajid]

I don't assume I KNOW.

Pr!ck.

[THECORBYLOON]

I think you'll find that a single doctor murdered many times more folk in the UK than any Muslim terrorist.

[THECORBYLOON]

I see you're talking to yirsel again, Ward-Minter

[lindapinda]

Exactly Icey ;-)...The stereotype isn't representitive of each and every person regarding race and religion..coming from N.I. and in a mixed marriage..I know that !

[Abdulmajid]

And I'll think you'll find that Corby is the Devils Armpit full of scotch bflea bags like you and your family.

Last time I was in Corby it was full of Poles, Latvians, Serbs, Lithuanian's and English Abdul, hardly any Scots at all but hey ho that was only two weeks ago so maybe it's changed, eh?

[Abdulmajid]

I really can't comment. I have never been there in my life. Thankfully I never will.

A true dive by all accounts.
