    Where do you guys see that he had an iPhone? He could've had any kind of phone. Whatever phone it was, it doesnt matter. It was still stolen.

    Man, I don't do the fasting out of obligation anymore, and it feels great. I just do it because I'm the type of person who once in a while wants to strengthen the spiritual values of restraint, self-control, reflection, and empathy.

    I don't think it wins me super max points. I don't think it brings me closer to or further from mythical places. I just love it. All those years fasting because it says so in a book, or because some guy uprooted just the right texts to make his case... such a hassle. Not enjoyable. Tried to gain as much as I could from it, but it just feels exponentially better now.

    You really want to feel what this is about? Fast and then go out and sneak food and water to people who are not allowed to eat at work while working manual labor in the blazing heat. Chill with them while they eat secretly. Man. Just awesome. Who can be hungry when enjoying a moment like that with other people?

    Forget all the fake compliments at the mosque, and the strings-attached rewards-expected gestures at public gatherings. That stuff is hollow. Kneeling down systematically every x hours x number of times to get x number of points. Like a formula. It's fine. It doesn't hurt me, but it's not what this is all about for me anymore.

    Do something amazing this Ramadan. Change a person's mind about Ramadan, and not with the thinly veiled bribery moves. If anyone's keeping points, they're not going to hold you to a technicality, I promise you.

    In the building next to mine is an engineering firm. A Pakistani guy order BBQ pork ribs and had them delivered to a fasting Muslim during lunch. They came to blow. The black girl receptionist ended up with the ribs... Good for her.

    I remember ordering pepperoni pizza to my friends house in Ramadan while in class at high school. He found out when he got back and then ordered 10 meat lovers to my house while we still couldn't eat cuz it wasn't time to break fast. I just opened the door and said "I didn't order it, it was douche bag friend" and shut the door. Haha always a good prank but I felt bad for all that food being wasted.

    I'm not Muslim just checking this thread out of curiosity but hard not to notice.

    HPD is like some 12 year old banging his head against the wall screaming 'look at me' desperate for attention. Clearly the lack of responses is bothering him because he's got the second most replies in this thread.

    Yeah, sleep schedule changed drastically, lucky for me my job is a bit more flexible than most on hours. Eating habits have changed, lost some weight, not sure it's good weight though. I am probably dehydrated most of the day. Hard to drink that much water in such a short time frame

    When does Ramadan end? I want to ask this girl out for a drink, but she is currently fasting for Ramadan. I don't want to appear insensitive to the faith or the cause.

    Good choice. Let her stay on her diet longer. The Ramadan chicks are in their yearly prime after the fast...and ready to be bad, again.

    That said, many of the Muslim girls who do not observe Ramadan use that "sorry, I'm fasting" line to reject guys.
