| Family fights on rise as southern police halt 80th since Ramadan start |
| 2009-09-06 |
| Ma'an -- Third family clash in two days sees Hebron police arrest ten including one man charged with attempted murder. A wave of family violence continues in the West Bank, this time in the Hebron-area village of Bani Na'im where one man was seriously injured in a family brawl that turned deadly when one member brought out a hunting rifle. Police were called to the scene and halted the fight, arresting ten men and questioning them as to the motives and lead-up to the fight. The southern district police said they have intervened in at least 80 family clashes since the start of Ramadan, including three large brawls Sa'ir, Yatta, and Bani Na'im, where a total of 15 people were arrested. |

| #4 Ramadan is actually a "tumultuous" month; not only is it a month of food excesses (which is absolutely HILARIOUS, for a month of supposed "fasting", actually ending up being a time of overindulgence, partying, spending,...), but, 1) there are big interpersonal problems during the day (related to hypoglycemia); 2) once the fasting breaks at the sunset, the Pious gets all agitated, partying, etc, etc... In fact, in frenhc familiar language, there's a word called "ramdam", faire du ramdam, IE to make some noise, be restless, cause a scene,... it's from WWI, from trench life, and derives from... Ramadan, and was a derogatory term for the noise and agitation made by muslims breaking the fast, being a nuisance to others. and 3) when the Holy Month finally ends, there WILL be spontaneous (small scales) riots all over the place, as it is customary for young muslims to let go of the "fasting" pressure by breaking loose and wrecking things, just to show the Infidels how they feel about them. Add to those the very annoying habits of trying to force the non-muslims to comply with that "fast" (on the top of my head, have read over the years of minority french kids in ethnic 'hoods being either directly or through peer pressure compelled to fast, which is pretty infuriating when you read that say as an aside in an article about a pre-teen girl basically held in sexual slavery by young muslim teens, who make them follow the ramadan) or to deal with associated problems (school skipping, employees being dizzy,...) without any way to complain, wouldn't be multiculti. |
