Holier than thou Muslims ...

But you implied (you rotter) that I had. Anyway, as I said, watch out for those packages. Only thinking of your safety.

No, I didn't imply that you had mentioned race, I implied that you had applied a racist stereotype to my colleague, who as I said is a nice guy. Now, it is arguable that it was a religious stereotype, and there is a debate to be had about the extent to which Islamaphobia is a form of racism, but to me it just looks like a continuation of a historic dislike of brown people. However, I am very very hungover and consequently:

a) Struggling with coherent reasoning (no change there)
b) Grumpy

Fair enough. I am sure he's lovely - but those packages...

What the feck was she doing in the canteen?

?

Having a chat. Our canteen is unfortunately also a meeting point.
Anyway as I was forced to listen to her crap (no other seats available) I made a point of slurping and chewing on my pork chop.

No, disliking Islamism because of its (temporary?) lack of reason has nothing to do with the race of the person involved. It's quite clearly absurd and hypocritical for a Western born muslim to completely turn their back on the host culture. To then mouth on about it with a holier-than-thou attitude, in an annoying little girl voice really got my goat.

Never heard it called that before. You must be very flexible. Do you do gymnastics....?

Yeah not many of us guys can reach our own pork chop for a quick chew.

Well done there, well done.

You could also have slapped your sausage about a bit under her table, and watched her squeal with joy.

I was chatting to my colleague about this yesterday. In midsummer, Muslims living in such places use the 'timetable' of a more Southerly latitude.

in other words bend the rules to suit them
if they were true muslim they will starve to death

No - that's not the purpose of Ramadan. Lots of Muslims (young children, the ill, diabetic etc.) are not expected to follow the dawn to dusk fasting rule but to participate as well as they can. The same applies to Muslims living in the Arctic. So there.
