this was over 10 years ago but personaly i think the person who made the list was either having a joke or didnt like his asthmatic relative

According to the link Emamum posted inhalers for asthma are not forbidden. Anything which is necessary for life is not forbidden. In fact people who are ill are not actually expected to fast if they cannot. Some diabetics for instance need to eat and have insulin on a regular basis.

If you have a health problem, are on your period, pregnant or breast feeding you dont have to fast...... you would usually do something else, ive seen somewhere that you help the poor instead.

I'll stick to the Stanley section from now on.

Don't blame you. It's been clear for a while.

Re: You will join in

I agree with Willow when she said that the press have made this look worse than it is.

I does annoy me when I read these stories....they're a load of old bunkum and I don't know who makes them up but they only serve to make people racist when they were never racist before. :(

well things must be changing, i worked fer 23 years with a large muslim workforce n never once during ramadan did they ask or demand me or anyone NOT to eat when they couldn't, in fact many joked about stuffing themselves at the appointed time, which varies daily. its utter nonsense to say its common sense fer others not to eat in my opinion.:( its thinking like that, that creates problems to me.

Re: You will join in

If they choose to fast fine but i will not go out of my way not to eat in front of them.
If i am in the staff room at work eating on my break and they come in then i will not stop,if they have a problem they can leave.
Sorry if tha sounds harsh but thats the way i feel about it.
