The letter doesnt exist(anymore) but the sound does, obiously english isnt your first language or youd know we have to TH sounds (this and Thistle) which used to have to seperate glyphs (eth and Thorn) and Represent Dhalat and THAw(in the normal Abgad semitic systems, i dont know of arabics system to much other than it strays awway in order and letter names,and the arabic i can read a little in uses a diff script than "arabic") Irrelevant. I never said that TH as a sound didnt' exist in the English language. Ramadan is still spelled with D. |

I don't see why Yigal cannot call it Ramazan. Iranians and Turks call it Ramazan. However, to be strict, it does seem that Arabs call it Ramadan (in English spelling).
I'm very surprised that as a Lor annunaki doesn't know that Iranians call it Ramazan.
In Iran I believe nobody can eat in public during Ramazan.

there is no problem in using ramazan, but he said:
"either way nobody says Ramadan" which is wrong (esp. that he's talking about "arab countries"

I don't speak Parsi, nor am I Muslim, so it doesn't exactly lie in my interest to know how Iranians pronounce it. I've never heard anyone say Ramazan. That said, the Western/English spelling for the word is with a D. It's the most common spelling. |

I didn't "chew your head" off, I made a comment that I have never seen the spelling Ramazan.  Iranians spell their language with a P, Parsi. I used to write Farsi, but since befriending other Iranians on another board, I now use P. You got a problem with that? Take it up with someone who cares. |

I remember participating an International Trade Fair during ramadan. We had lots of clients from the Muslim countries, so when ever they came to visit us we thought it was polite to ask them if they were fasting before offering anything to drink or to eat. Many of them evidently thought that since they were Europe they could indeed drink and eat also before the sunset...

I wonder how muslims keep ramadan in northern countries (like Scandinavian countries, Canada, Russia etc.). In summer daylight hours there are very long, while in winter - very short. I guess it is difficult to keep ramadan in summer time, when sun sets only at 11 p.m. and rises already at 3 a.m. So they can eat then only at very late night! In winter, sure, is very easy - sun is shining only some hours, so muslims can eat and drink almost all day. And how is about latitudes northwards Arctic Circle? I guess muslims would just die from hunger there, if ramadan happens in summer, because sun shines then all the time - day and night!  |

No, Muslims who live in Scandinavia agree on an appropriate time to break the fast during the summer time.  Not that many Muslims here fast, to my knowledge the vast majority don't care much about it. Some fast symbolicaly for a few days. |

Probably only a matter of time until muslims here in the UK are demanding that everyone whether muslim or not in areas with a high muslim population observes these stupid eating laws.
