The peaceful month of RAMADAN...



Happy Ramadan, everyone... I have been reading a lot over the last few days about what norwegian people know about Ramadan. Not much. They think muslims starve themselves to please God. Well...

Closeness to God is absolutely part of the plan. Also to appreciate food, water, sex and more... not to take it for granted.

More than this, it is a month for peace. And you don't really starve, do you, when you get up around two in the afternoon and wait four hours and then have breakfast?

But it is a month for cleanness in all things. Avoid fighting and quarreling. Remember friends and relatives. Share. Avoid alcohol, and greed and jealousy. Be thankful for what you have: "All food tastes nice during Ramadan".

It is togetherness. The families gather in the evenings. Maybe it wouldn't hurt if we too had a little ramadan once in a while. Let's not smoke and curse. And let's think again before we rent that violent movie.

And let us try to show understanding and acceptance for other peoples ways and traditions. Make the world a little bit better.

So - HAPPY RAMADAN, no matter how you spend your days.

Happy Ramadan to you too.

Thanks for the comment on my blog :D, and I like you blog too.

As for the nick...well it's the angel of death.

No it's not something morbid. I'm somewhat of a fan of mythology and occult things. Different cultures and their different beliefs and all.

Hey anyway Azrael sound cool he he :D

Yes it does, and yes I thought I recognized that name :) I like it too, and also love anything from unicorns to dragons to angels and demons.

I am wondering about calling my guesthouse "Avalon Egypt"... Can't call it anything egyptian, it will drown in all the other places...!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied
on the video to make your point. You definitely know what
youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your
weblog when you could be giving us something informative
