This is why I fast with Islam during the holy month of Ramadan, and will likely continue to do so the remainder of my life. Islam needs people in the West to understand/tolerate their culture and their religion, just as much as we need people in the East to understand/tolerate ours. If anyone is curious about Ramadan, it will probably start at sunset July 31st, and continue through sunset of August 29th. Just in case you would like to raise awareness with me. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
