[MASON, Ohio (AP) -- Northeast of Cincinnati, school officials in Mason have taken some heat after two Muslim boys were offered a separate room during the lunch hour. Superintendent Kevin Bright says it was a "fasting room."]
The superintendent notes that the two students never even used the room but went to the library during lunch. --from MSGT's link
Is this clown trying to make it okie-dokie because the cult member "students" did not use it? I have a better place for those two little assholes to fast. It's called Saudi Arabia. Get the Hell out of America, creeps!

Also, does this poster not catch on to the fact that the students opted to spend their fasting time in a library, with, like, books and stuff? These are the type of kids that should be deported?
Why don't you just ram a tube down their throats and force feed them, while you're at it?
Just once more, why should be deported to Saudi Arabia?, as far as I am concerned, deported are the people who commit a SERIOUS CRIME. And giving a civic lesson of tolerance, showing that they need NO SPECIAL PRIVILEDGES, because, I mean, they have just retired to an already existant building, not needing a special one. Is that their crime?, showing you that you don´t need special privileges, like compulsory praying, if you´re religious?, it´s because they´re showing you the kind of fucktard intolerants you evangelical Christians are?
A special room is just bending over backwards, though, and probably goes beyond "tolerance" into the realm of "supportive", and that's tantamount to endorsement. Just let them sit in the lunch hall with everyone else - they don't have to eat anything while they're there, do they?
There is so much anger coursing through my veins right now, it is most assuredly a bad idea to say what I feel.
Suffice it to say, I strongly disagree with this man's decision to label two students that did absolutely nothing wrong - and that he has never met and only heard of in passing - as assholes and cult members, simply because they are Muslims.
With that I take my leave.
*twitch*
Yes, I do think that the school might have gone a little far with the "fasting room."
But still, this guy is repugnant. How would he have felt if die-hard Christian students had asked for a separate room to fast during Lent?
And no, Muslims aren't cult members any more than Christians are. Their God is the same, you twit! YOU go to Saudi Arabia if you can't handle the fact that this is a multicultural country with freedom of religion, you ignorant, racist moron.
A little explanation needed here.
Muslims fast during the month of Ramadhan. That is, they do not eat, drink, have sex, etc. from sunrise to sundown for 28 days(except in extraordinary conditions, like illness). It is one of the five basic requirements of Muslims, something every Muslim must do. Usually, out of respect, people try not to eat in front of them, or tempt them in any way. Unfortnately, many Americans often don't know how to react, even treat their religious practices with hostility, like Wolf.
Wolfcounsel needs to get out of America and see the world isn't like what he envisioned in Fundieland.
I am an atheist, but I have no problem with accommodating faiths, and certainly not ewhen it's at no real cost and is to show consideration (such as not eating in front of a faster).
My complaint would be if it was necessary for me to fast (or some other religious observance)
America, Land of Freedom of Speech*, and Religion**.
*Unless it's dissenting from the moral norms laid out by the Bible
Cuz, I mean...it's not like there's anything about U.S.A. being founded on immigration or acceptance, right? Right...?
@ArmandT: Thank you for the explanation. I knew that Muslims typically fasted during Ramadan, but I didn't know the actual degree of abstinence. This incident reminds me of what happened during one of my friends' birthday parties. One of the guests was Jewish and unfortunately for her, the party happened to be on the same day as Yom Kippur. The poor girl had to sit there and watch while the rest of us had cake and she couldn't.
Wolfcounsel is an ignorant twit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
