Dates and milk/yoghurt instead of water, try it this year, much needed nutrition and sunnah.
I do like fresh dates, but I have never had any as good as the ones in Madina I could live on them alone!

That's leaving one faith for another, many of which claim that being open about such things is important.
When you just don't believe any more, then what's the point in risking everything and gaining nothing?
I'd rather be open and honest about it myself, but I'm not in that position.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali? I can't think why.
It's not like she had her genitals mutilated and receives death threats every day or something!
In the hadith reported by Annas the Prophet saw broke fast with dates. He saw used water if dates were not available to him. That's in Tirmidhi
But then your living a life of lies and pretence...do you see what I mean? I myself never was practicing or had the belief/conviction and it was out in the open but I choose to come back in to it after research and reading up about various religions in my mid 20's...
Ayaan Hirsi Ali? I can't think why.

That's the one.
With her and likes of malala you really have to know the "unknown" background to see what its about.
Being Muslim brings you into contact with these people, not hirsi in my personal case, so you see behind the media hype
It's not exactly honest, but I understand why people do it, especially in societies that are less accepting of such things.
It can be very controversial in parts of America, for example. People lose jobs over it, as well as the other possible issues.
Yeah she had issues in life, fgm has got nothing to do with Islam though and she likes to blame Islam for it though.Ayaan Hirsi Ali? I can't think why.

That's true but don't under estimate Pussy and what it can do to a man. The guy is a good looking very rich young man. He could have ****ed her and said bye bye. However it seems like he has taken some form of interest in her background and embraced it to whatever extent he has. If he's 'pretending' he's not kidding anyone mate. For what it's worth, I've seen him make a prayer before Kick Off. No one makes him do that, he does it due to his own conscious. Can't imagine he has to do that because of his wife lol...what a fackin pussy he would be if he did. He might not be perfect but it's his journey and I've seen him catch the Train a few times whilst being on it.
pick and mix I mean the religion the bits they like and forget the bits they don't like or goes against their little agenda.
FGM's cultural, but some people try to use religion to justify it. I think it's a separate issue, personally.
Political affiliations of families and also background of the families.
Have you ever wondered why malala is a spokeswoman and peace prize winner for women's rights/education supported by her father (a communist exile) and yet her own mother wore an Afghani burkha, couldn't read and walked behind her husband?
Similarly is hirsi disliked because of her anti Islam stance or is it more to do with her antagonist views? Eg netanyahu should win a Nobel peace prize etc
My point is its not black and white. Malalas old man uses gia daughter to advance his own agenda and its seen as women's lib. He was hated in Pakistan by the government well before she got shot
They don't fool no one but themselves mate. I don't do everything my faith asks of me, that's not for the want of trying though or due to the lack of respect and acknowledgement. Sometimes I can't help being carnal and instinctive though. Look at yourself, you lie out of your back teeth at times just to defend a Football Club Lolz
Yes, there various variant reports of what he did if not dates were available.
The problem with these topics is indeed culture and religion.
Islamically female circumcision is allowed but only if its needed for medical purposes. Some "muslims" use that to justify culture.
In Kashmir there was an Indian sect that used to go to the temple waving palm leaves and loudly reciting hymns. When Islam came to that part of the world they started going to the mosques waving pal leaves and reciting Quran verses. When told that this is innovation they use the call to prayer as an example of loud recitation etc.
Its wrong because really it's cultural and any new thing Boughy into the belief is innovation
