These are not connected with any religion, religious event or ceremony.<br /><br />Stop blaming Islam for everything that you cannot understand.<br /><br />Poverty existed long before Islam came.<br /><br />On the contrary, Islam has provided a solution to solve or lessen the effects of poverty by encouraging regular charity.<br /><br />You only notice it more in Ramadhan because more Muslims are extra-generous during Ramadhan - at the same time, more of the poor people turn out because they know that they will get something to eat because of people&#39;s extra-generosity during Ramadhan.<br /><br />So, again, please explain why the non-Muslim Western countries have long queues????<br /><br />Mahmud, UK (mahmud@google.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723556302758697333.post-71876019756812416892009-09-19T14:06:22.262-04:002009-09-19T14:06:22.262-04:00Hi Andrei<br /><br />Islam unfortunately shaped our culture badly about 1400 years so first we have to get rid of it and make things right. it has been injected in our veins in past 1400 years like opium, taking it out is painful and hurts.<br /><br />About this green movement, if you ask me it is far from liberty movement...this is still continuation of Islamic movement.<br /><br />and please do tell what happened in some of those countries that you are talking about?Fariborz Shamshirihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00320083758532084868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723556302758697333.post-16171757549340695262009-09-18T15:28:50.724-04:002009-09-18T15:28:50.724-04:00andrei, romania<br /><br />Dear Sir,<br /><br />You are right in this and the previous post, but you have to discern the good things in your tradition, because if you don&#39;t do this you will borrow all &quot;good&quot; things from the west when Iran will be free. Leave aside the popular religious practicies, but find out the good side of your tradition. <br />I pray for you, but you will not be prepared for the liberty even you want it so much. You will realize that after 10 years from your liberty. This is the story of some countries from eastern europe. Please, learn from us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
