'fast during Ramadan to understand Muslims'

[Deep Sea Isopod]

Good ole Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has encouraged people to undergo a day of fasting to help them gain a better understanding of their ''Muslim neighbour''.

I urge people, particularly during Ramadan, to find out more about Islam, increase your understanding and learning, even fast for a day with your Muslim neighbour and break your fast at the local mosque. I would be very surprised if you didn't find that you share more in common than you thought.

He's got to be fucking joking!!!!!

Fast ...my ass ,not eating until sunset isn't a fast it's just a minor change in meal times .

I'll do it if my putative "muslim neighbour" agrees to come out one morning for a bacon butty.

Boris, with all due respect: Fuck Off.

Tell the Muslim neighbours they can understand us better be joining us in an all-you-can-eat nosh-up with mounds of crispy bacon and sausages.

"... My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters."
- Boris Johnson

EDIT: I see Clinton has the same idea as me (or should that be the other way around?).

I have heard that often from friends, but in Arab countries. It surprises me that statement in London...

I used to answer: Cover your body, heads to toes with a black blanket all day long for years, to understand your women.
