There you go, Rocky, they do. Rhino says.

I trust that puts the matter to rest, yes?

If you can accept this link as being factual: https://muslimvillage.com/2016/06/23/119063/many-10-fattest-countries-muslim/

...then I can concede being wrong.

#1 – Kuwait – 42.8%
#2 – Saudi Arabia – 35.2%
#4 – Egypt – 34.6%
#5 – Jordan – 34.3%
#6 – United Arab Emirates – 33.7%
#8 – Qatar – 33.1%

I had been basing my opinion of fasting for Ramadan on the lack of overweight Muslim people that I know in my town. And we have about 1000 people who are Muslim in Rockhampton. A large Bangladeshi community.

You didnt answer the question, exactly what does a Muslim look like who fasts for Ramadan? How are you specifically able to tell if a person fasts for Ramadan? You made the claim now tell us of your rationale behind it.

A person who fasts for Ramadan is typically not obese-looking.

I am telling you that many Muslims don't actually fast for Ramadan. Instead, they take advantage of Allah's Loophole: gorge all feeking night and into the early morning and then stop eating at daybreak.

I have worked with Muslims, male and female, and they have told me that, during Ramadan, they only fast during "daylight hours", once the sun goes down they stuff themselves with food and booze!

One guy I worked with thought a Hamburger contained pork, once he was informed that it did not, he was into that regularly, plus beer. Grin

He was from Bangladesh, a really nice bloke.

Sorry to go off topic!

Booze? Surely not. We are assured by Yadda and Moses and Soren and the Baron and Freediver, that all Muslims are 100% observant and firm followers of the Islamic dietary laws! Are you suggesting that they are lying? Roll Eyes

I once shared a house with a girl when I first lived in Canberra. She had just returned from travelling overseas. She had visited Turkey and fallen in love with a young Turkish man. She saved up and paid for his airfare out to Australia. Unfortunately, in the year since she had left him she had fallen out of love with him, which she discovered upon his arrival at Sydney. Anyway, we gave him a welcome to Australia and it included "nibbles" which included Kabanosi. He loved it. It was, unfortunately until the next morning that I realised it contained Pork. Anyway, I never told him. Didn't seem to affect him in anyway...

I am telling you that many Muslims don't actually fast for Ramadan. Instead, they take advantage of Allah's Loophole: gorge all feeking night and into the early morning and then stop eating at daybreak.

I had the impression that Ramadan was about not eating or drinking during the daylight hours and then eating and drinking at night. Only the young, the security forces/emergency services, people with medical conditions and politicians are exempt from taking part.

That said, I also had the impression that going daily hours where you don't eat or drink, you would be losing more weight than the average 0.5kg over a period of 28 days.

Having going a couple days feeling hungry just recently, it feels like I have lost 1kg over the last week. Surely, Muslims that go hungry for a month would lose a lot more. Then they would carry that weight loss onto the next year. I just have not seen many fat Muslims. But, websites claim that Muslim majority countries have an obesity problem worse than the United States. That surprised me.

You know America is back to normal when there are two mass shootings in a week ...

Isn't most gun violence in USA from N***** and W***** putting a cap in someone's ass?

And you pretend to be offended when someone calls you out on your racism...?

The bulk of gun murder victims are black and latinos killed by blacks or latinos, yet you're not interested in that because you don't want to be a WayCist.

Do you think your victimhood is working you pathetic coward?

You're not talking about gun violence in the black or Latino communities, you're talking about, and I quote,

"N***** and w***** putting a cap in someone's ass"

You're being deliberately racist and then pretending that you're concerned for members of those communities? It's as if you've been itching to post those slurs and finally there is a topic where you think it's ok to be racist, then get all cut when you're called out.

How about stop being racist?

If you want to talk about the actual meat of the issue we can, but the moment you start using the racial slurs you lose the right to be treated with any sort of respect or be taken seriously as wanting to engage in a good-faith debate.

When you use the racial slurs you did, you can't pretend to be objectively looking at the stats as if you care about their lives. Take your faux outrage elsewhere.

The ones you really have to be watchful are the ones who like gardening so much that they buy a considerable amount of fertiliser and then ask the Bunning's people if they sell timing devices.
