After their month of prayer and fasting they emerge with a renewed compassion for their fellow man, regardless of his faith, and a determination to work for peace, and the elimination of hatred, anger and violence.

HA HA! I was talking about Catholic monks and nuns.

Yes, I distinctly remember Ramadan. That was usually the time we’d postpone any impending war against Arabs, Muslims out of respect for their holiday month. I mean, these savages are out to slaughter you and you, you, stupid, naive dhimmi, will postpone the war out of respect to them.

Political Correctness is a b*tch.

On the first day of Ramadan my true love brought to me to me, a brand new burqua

On the second day of Ramadan my true love brought to me, his second wife

On the Third of Ramadan my true love brought to me, a lovely beating with a cane

Damn, Ramadan again. What is it with those heathens, they are just like unions and federal employees always wanting some nondescript holiday off.
