| Eating in public during fasting hours punishable offense: Kuwait's Interior Ministry |
| 2006-09-25 |
| Eating in public during the daytime hours of the month of Ramadan is a crime punishable by law, said Public Relations and Moral Guidance Director at the ministry of interior, Adel Al-Hashash Saturday. The violator could be fined KD 100 or imprisoned for under a month, or given both punishments together, Al-Hashash added. Those who are not fasting should refrain from eating in public during the daytime hours as it is offensive to Muslims, the official stressed to foreigners and whom ever it may concern. Al-Hashash strongly urged people not observing Ramadan to eat in private during the fasting time. |

| #20 I'm all the way back on exJAG's comment in #8. Mods, is there any way we can hook up a video cam (linked at RB of course) to show exJAG's "performance" (with the HK, of course) in front of Zen's new Kabab and Falafel shop/warehouse in Kuwait? That and all of Zen's pork receipes alone would make me wanna celebrate Ramadan. |

| #19 Yeah Zen, I feel real strongly about Rama-dama-ding-dong ! As Lotop points out, farting sideways justifies death in the Muzzie sensibility. Or any other damn thing they conjure up. This really should be hilarious comedy for the world to enjoy if these fanatical bastards weren't deadly serious. |

| #17 Do your recipes involve pork Zenster? Love the idea! Did you say pork? As in Carnitas or my Memphis-style Dry Rubbed Ribs ala Rondezvous? Perhaps a Philippine-style Barbacoa or Weiner Schnitzel, maybe a super-authentic ancient Chili de Guaillo recipe that has brought grown Mexican men nearly to tears as they mutter about "Like Mom used to make! [sniff]"? It would be my pleasure. Mods or Fred, please say the word! |

| #15 Do your recipes involve pork Zenster? Love the idea! Tu - just take a copy of the Koran with you and rip the pages out and use them as napkins (and nose-wipes) right there. Might use a page or three to start the grill too... |

| #14 Pork recipes, all Rama-dama-ding-dong long! Love it! |

| #13 exJAG, trust your instincts and screw the burqa, go with the HK MP7A1. This certainly justifies death, if you ask me. [sniff] Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, SOP35/Rat. I didn't know you felt so strongly about Ramadan. RB celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan with recipes? I like the way you think, Anon5089! |

| #12 Gonna get my Prophet picnic blanket, my Koran napkins, head on down to the local mosque with a big ass hunk of pork tenderloin and setup out front...and if it offends them, well, what doesn't? |

| #11 OFF TOPIC ALERT Good idea, even more if it can be made "on topic" (I trust your inventivity) when possible, and if the recipes can be done by average people. RB celebrating the Holy Month of Ramadan with recipes? Blasphemy! For this, muslims will riot, kufr! |

| #9 OFF TOPIC ALERT: Y'all let me know and I'll start publishing a "Recipe of the Day" in the "Opinion" section. I don't want to distract from the overall tenor here, but I do have some whupass recipes to share. Chicken fried steak, guacamole, Philippine bistek style beef, my "Agent Orange" habanero salsa, the best damn hot dog chili you've ever had ... Moderators? It would be my pleasure to share these items at Rantburg in repayment for all of the bandwidth. Just say so. |

| #8 Whoa, fellas, I'm not going to any Mohammedan hive of scum and villainy without a burqa, or at least one of these. |

| #7 Al-Hashash strongly urged people not observing Ramadan to eat in private during the fasting time. In "Moderate" Malaysia, they don't even add this advise. There if you look like a Malay, as aborigines do, you'll be accosted by police. Therefore the aborigines are scared to eat outside. |

| #6 Yeah, Zen....just let us know where your warehouse is in Kuwait. I think we can all hit the tip jar for exJAG's ticket to go "perform" for the Kuwaitis in front of your fine establishment. Or dare we call for the next Rantapalooza in Kuwait. Yeesh, you save their arses, and that's the thanks you get? |

| #5 Damn Zen, can I get some o' them shishkabobs? Ima hungry! |

| #4 High praise, NS. I've been lurking for years, figure it's time I join the fun. Like "Operation Sinfully Tasty Aroma." Tee hee! "Those who are not There, Mr. Hashish, fixed that for ya. |

| #3 No doubt about it. You belong here, ex-JAG. |

| #2 Makes me want to buy a warehouse on a busy street in one of their biggest cities and grill up a couple of lambs with big honking fans blowing the aroma out onto the sidewalk during fasting hours. No eating, mind you, strictly legit. Just this insanely delicious aroma of garlic marinated lamb cubes rubbed with rock salt that are skewered on rosemary sticks and basted with herbed olive oil being grilled over glowing mesquite and almond wood chips. Really big fans. Really, really big ones. |

| #1 Makes me wanna walk around all day eating schnitzel on a stick. And then washing it down with a beer. In a bikini. While walking the dog. Party like it's 599, while we still can. |
