London's Mayor Says Residents Should Join In Ramadan Fasts by Abuzola(m): 8:49pm On Sep 09, 2009
London (ENI). London Mayor Boris Johnson has called on the city's millions of residents to join Muslims in fasting for at least a day during the Islamic observance of Ramadan to better understand Islam.

So that you will know that Islam is not just what your pastor inform you about.

Many of you believe that muslim fasting is not fasting but a skip of lunch, so why not experience it and see

who are the people you're referring to?

Did I say the bolded? And why do you assume other religions dont know what fasting is?

How many pastors spend their time talking about Islam? Maybe oyibo pastors- in Nigeria people learn about Islam through their interactions with Muslims.

so how many churches did you attend and heard the pastors preaching on Islam?

I'd have thought the main tarnishing came from Muslims themselves with incidents like Boko Harem.

I have christian colleague and i hear the gossip from them.


Boko haram are jobless entity like the creek boys of Niger Delta, they believe democracy have nothing good to tell, corrupt leaders are in power, renovate a house is 600 milion in the national assembly, 100,000 is chicken change to those in power, no job , nothing and the boko people begin their campaign, not knowing that Islamic protest is the greatest threat to any authority and they were devastated to the alter.

The only church I'm aware of which openly connects with Islam, is the Catholic church. And they have Rev Fathers, not Pastors.

So are your friends Catholic?

Is RCCG catholic ?

C'mon, christian mind is the same thing, whether catholic or jehoval witness or methodist. To cut the crab short, all the christian denomination teaches enmity on Islam mostly in the west

and once again, thats a lie.

If it was an RCCG pastor discussing Islam (very unlikely, imo), then try to find out what exactly was being discussed, because most pastors have plenty other topics to cover and dont make it a habit to discuss Islam during services. There are only so many hours in the day.

However, you may be right if the church is located in one of the Boko Harem areas where many people recently lost their lives due to Islamist fanatics.

The guy is only after their health, with the wieght problem around nowadays i think there should even be a national month of fasting annually.
