re-energized spirituality. When I do NOT fast, out of respect for the feelings of those around me, especially when I feel God has specifically allowed me NOT to fast in the situation, it teaches me respect. When I normally would get angry..and I don't, it teaches me restraint...when I get hungry, and realise from where my bounty comes, it teaches me thankfulness. when i know that i can find food to break the fast, and that someone in somalia might not, it teaches me empathy and charity.... |

and when i see those who are LESSER educated, doing so much more, it teaches me humility...and that God accepts from each of us on the plane we want to be on...

Many saudis go to switzerland in Ramadan....i guess legally it is alright, but then the idea of taqwa seems to be a block here.
Aragorn..only if the mosque is in vegas. |

It looks like them bais took it much further than the courtyard. They went as far as to have the police blockade the place during taraweeh and arrest a few of the participants. Mayble someone can confirm this. |

this is not new news for this particular masjid ....... its been a ongoing issue for many yrs, and it seems that during this particular time of the yr, every yr, folks hang out dirty laundry to dry in the public. I personally know a lot of folks going to this masjid and they complain all the time about the $$ issue and still keep going. I do not know why after so many yrs this matter is not yet resolve ..... and why the courts didnt come to a resolution. |

DOn't know the masjid argy..but as in one particular toronto center, I would assume it has to do with ethnicity/culture. Paks/arabs/guyanese/somalis don't get along. Each thinks the other is a nincompoop...

In that case, I hang my head in shame. Even though I am not involved, these idiots..in the land of new bigotry--carry the collective ID stamp of all of us. |
