The problem is Cashy that with this story that is EXACTLY the issue. It has been twisted to give it a racist bias when the original problem they were trying to solve was that the non-Muslims were scoffing all the nosh and not leaving the Iftar packs for the Muslims to break their fast with when the time came. Now if I'm fasting I don't care one jot if anyone else is eating. My late husband used to not fast because he was diabetic. Him eating didn't bother me at all but I would have been highly dischuffed if he'd eaten his dinner and mine. I would probably have said something along the lines of "If you can't keep your greedy mits off my share then wait for your own until I'm ready too!" which is basically what has happened here only they've tried to do it more politely.

I'm saddened to see that the racist comments by some of the posters in this thread have deterred others from chatting here. We are not all alike and some of us detest racism just as much as you do Tin Monkey. The only way to keep a balance is for the non-racists like you to join in and to make their views know, not to run away and leave the impression that AccyWeb is a racist site.
