    I'm not entirely sure of the definition of EID Mubarak, but happy celebrations to you all.

    There's nothing to debate :confused:. I've seen threads like "The Black thread" and "The Brown thread" recently in the Hangout and they involve race, should they be moved to the D&D? No, because it's not a debate topic.

    This is just a well-wishing thread with no harm done, I don't get why people would find this to be controversial or have a problem with it.

    I guess the reason why politics, religion and race topics should be in the D&D is because you never know if they might become a debate topic. It is true, though, that there have been plenty of threads here like "Merry Christmas", "Happy Easter", "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Juneteenth" or whatever.

    I don't have a problem with it.

    Without wanting to steer this into a debate, I do think that there can be nuances and differences - e.g., is a well-wishing thread meant to promote and celebrate peace on earth (among members of all religions) or to promote one's own religion (over other religions, and excluding members of other religions).

    If you want to come out and say something, just say it. Stop tiptoeing around like that.

    I said what I wanted to say. What do you think I wanted to say? Nevermind, I don't really care. I am not going to be the one making this a debate thread.

    Can't think of a worse possible place to try and fast, for me at least!

    Happy holiday (? is this correct?) to you all. I'm jealous of the feasting, if not the fasting. Strong.

    Hope it was the bomb! ;)

    Absolutely brilliant and touching. Thanks for this gem.

    Although, I have to agree with the sentiment among the more intelligent posters in this thread. I thought it was sad that the OP wished eid mubarak to his "fellow muslim brothers", alienating others in a secular environment like the Hangout. But there's no point pointing this out to such a defensive and highly sensitized group of people - it's all part of the religious propagandic machine to manipulate weak minded individuals into creating an us vs. them mentality under a false politically correct guise of: "but we have no issues with the viewpoints of others".

    And people have the nerve to cry about me having a sense of superiority... atleast I'm raw with my thoughts.

    It's telling... who the sheeps are in this world, and who the shepherds are.

    Most of the Muslims I talk to (many of them girls before I converted them) told me they mainly do it for the sense of belonging - ie, it's easy to do it when everyone else is doing it and temptation is removed from their vicinity.

    To me, this contradicts the message of true strength. A person of true faith and spirituality is able to have a consistent lifestyle of resisting temptation and doesn't need the approval of the masses to do so. He looks within himself for power and projects this on to the environment around him - instead of looking for answers externally.

    It's all very fishy and counter intuitive.

    If they're doing it for a sense of belonging then they're doing it for the wrong reason. That's their own personal problem.

    i generally agree with this but we should give them credit for going about their normal lives during the midst of summer without a single drop of water.


    they still go to jobs and are around food and water all day. its pretty hard.


    with that said a consistent lifestyle like you said is what we should strive for

    The more people exposed with multiple accounts, the better. For his sake as for ours.
