Many “infidel” employers remain uneducated on certain aspects of Ramadan. They may also not know how to “cater” to Muslim employees during this time. But learning more about the occasion and explicitly showing support to Muslim workers can make Muslims feel a sense of belonging.
Shrm RAMADAN is the fourth pillar of Islam and the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. From April 2 to May 2 this year, all Muslims who have reached puberty are required to abstain from eating, drinking and smoking daily from dawn until sunset. (In other words, they skip lunch). For example, intermittent fasting can result in headaches, lethargy and crankiness.
While co-workers may be uncomfortable eating around their Muslim colleagues, they shouldn’t feel this way. Muslims participating in Ramadan witness their children eating in front of them, as young kids are excluded from fasting. Just be sure to avoid offering food to us during this time.”
How infidel employers should support Muslim employees during Ramadan:
For example, colleagues and managers should wish Muslim workers a “happy, blessed and successful Ramadan,” Imtiaz said. These words can convey awareness of Ramadan and kindness to Muslim employees during this time, he noted.
“We can also show support and kindness simply by asking questions and expressing a willingness to learn more,” Imtiaz said.
Managers can also take the time to provide special considerations for Muslim employees. This can mean decreasing work hours as needed or allocating more demanding tasks for the morning when those who are fasting typically have more energy.
If Muslim employees are required to work late, employers should allow some time and space for them to break the fast and perform a prayer during sunset, Mitchell said. This break in work is also important for employees such as police officers or firefighters, who may work evening shifts.
Flexibility is particularly important during Eid ul-Fitr, a festival marking the end of Ramadan. Mitchell likened the celebration to Christmas, as many Muslims take a few days off from work to celebrate. They often attend a prayer and sermon in a mosque and exchange gifts with loved ones.
But Muslim workers might not know the exact date of Eid ul-Fitr until hours before it happens, as the celebration depends on the sighting of the crescent moon. The festival can last between one and three days.
“Muslim employees might not know until night before,” Mitchell said. “Employers should be willing to accommodate.”
RAMADAN FOR INFIDEL DHIMMIES: The Muslim-panderers at the Washington Post apparently think Americans should be taught how to behave, or more importantly, how NOT to behave around Muslims, during their ‘holy’ month of Ramadan, so, in 2020, they published a guide for infidels called “Rules of Respect for Muslims” during Ramadan.
Washington Post In the next few weeks, you may come into work and find your co-worker taking a power nap at 9:30am. At break time, you’ll notice she is missing in the discussion about Harry Potter over at the water cooler. At the staff meeting, you will be shocked when she is offered coffee and cookies and refuses. (No, actually, we couldn’t care less) By lunch time, your concern about her missing at the water cooler compels you to investigate the situation.
Then you remember what she had mentioned last week over a delicious Sushi lunch. Flooded with relief, you go up to her desk, and proclaim with much gusto, “Ramadan Mubarak (Moo-baa-rak)!” Ramadan’s Blessings to you! (That’s right, we should drop whatever we’re doing, rush right over and wish her Happy Ramadan)
The month of Ramadan is a happy occasion; it is the month that the Muslim holy book, the Quran, was revealed to our Prophet Muhammad by Allah. Muslims are called by their religion to celebrate the month by coming together in worship and fasting each day (aka skipping lunch, then gorging at night) all month.
While this may seem like a tremendous feat (actually, it doesn’t) consider this: Fasting while working is an even greater endeavor. Make it a little easier on your Muslim colleague by following a couple of simple rules:
Learn the Ramadan Greeting:
The next time you find yourself in line for the copier with your Muslim colleague, feel free to wish him or her “Ramadan Mubarak” or “Ramadan Kareem” or simply “Happy Ramadan.”(I thought we already did that at their desks?) We absolutely love it when people acknowledge Ramadan and are happy about it. (Happy that we have to “cater” to your religious demands?)
Positive Reinforcement:
Keep in mind that we’re fasting voluntarily and, actually, pretty joyously despite the tired, sad look on our face. We’re not forced to fast. In fact, we wait for this month the whole year, so you don’t have to feel sorry for us. (Don’t worry, we won’t) We are not trying to be rescued.
About that lunch meeting:
Most of us understand that life goes on, and so do lunch meetings, and if we are participating in them while fasting, don’t worry about eating in front of us. (We don’t) This is just part of the test. We appreciate your acknowledging our fast, but don’t feel the need to discuss it every time you show up in our line of sight holding food. Just try not to eat smelly foods, like hot dogs and spare ribs. (I thought we don’t have to worry about eating in front of you?)
No water:
It’s true — we can’t drink water either. Again, this is part of the Ramadan test and our exercise of spiritual discipline. This is probably why you may not find your friend at the water cooler. Try switching the break time conversation to another location in the office. You should probably also let them skip their turn for the coffee run this time. (Why? Is carrying coffee against Islamic law now?)
About our foul breath:
While God may tell us that the breath of the one fasting is like “fragrant musk” to Him, we know that you’re not God – and aren’t enjoying it. Understand why we’re standing a good foot away from you when speaking or simply using sign language to communicate. (Actually, we wish you would stay as far away from us as possible ALL the time)
Consider hosting a Ramadan (Iftar) dinner for your Muslim employees:
Iftar is the Arabic word for the meal served at sunset when we break the fast. This will be a nice gesture for Muslim coworkers and will give others the opportunity to learn about and partake in Ramadan festivities. Although there is no specific type of meal designated for iftars, (Good, how about sausage and peppers?) it is Islamic tradition to break the fast with a sweet and refreshing date before moving to a full-on dinner. (Are refreshing ‘Israeli’ dates OK to serve?)
Nap break for fasting Muslims:
Although energy levels might be low, the point of fasting is not to slack off from our other duties and responsibilities. We believe that we are rewarded for continuing to work and produce during our fasts. Fasting is not a reason to push meetings, clear schedules, or take a lighter load on projects. That said – we don’t mind if you help work in a nap time for us! (Will the Muslim-only prayer room you forced the company to provide be suitable or do we have to provide a special nap room, as well?)
Ramadan is a time for community and charity (like the Holy Land foundation for Hamas?). There are iftar dinners held at mosques every night. You are welcome to join the fun – even if you’re not fasting! (I can hardly wait) and night time prayer vigils throughout the month. We give charity in abundance and make an extra effort to partake in community service.
The Religion of Peace website publishes the ‘Ramadan Bombathon’ at the end of the month, which shows the number of Islamic terrorist incidents conducted during Islam’s holiest month:
Spring has sprung, blood will gush, bodies will vaporize, heads will fall, etc., ad nauseum.
Remember 2014? 5,000+- people slaughtered by the hordes of mohamhead during ramadeath. And, just a few years ago during ramadeath in that short Israel war when the Izzies kill about a thousand Palis? Well, the moslems killed more or their own during the same time frame, but we never heard about that, did we?
When does the usual slaughter start?
Eid which comes after Ramadan
businesses should schedule (emergency) conferences where food & drink are served in the morning or afternoon, and require ALL employees to attend. Certainly forbearance would be respected, but idle chatter about the best place for baby back ribs during and after seating should be freely made. Perhaps the conference’s subject should be where to situate the planned on-premises kennel for staff who bring their pet dogs to work. (mudslimes hate dogs. they are just so jealous of them licking each others’ assholes.)
We have had so many of them settling in our country and get special treatment that many of them act entitled wherever they go. They do not respect other people nor have courtesy towards others.
What country are you in, Cary?
You know Ramadamadingdong has arrived when Muslim employees start racking up missed working hours. A happy time for each employer.
Meanwhile be sure and not say Merry Christmas during the holy week in December as that hurts the wee feeeelings of a certain gang of morons…No mention of Lent for Christians but lets not upset the followers of a Fascist Religious Cult as their followers as weaklings that cant think for themselves.
Another month of gluttony, especially prone to terrorism is upon us. That little piece was so full of sh*t- Eid is nothing like Christmas & the Slimes know it. And this crap about asking them questions- Muslums are living in a fantasy that we are all dying to know about & join their death cult. This thing about not even drinking water is a very bad idea. Definitely not divinely inspired. Just my 2 cents there.
I have never worked a regular job but that’s pretty much it.
Well my rules for the infidels of BNI are quite simple. Please avoid any posts with the mention of FOOD or RECIPES….that’s just going to make me very angry as I’ll be fasting the whole month. I am going to be in a pious state of mind and don’t want to lose it on anyone. Ye have been warned.
Continue bashing Islam and Muslims just like before. No problems there.
Allah u Akbar.
All go to work with pork food hang sausages your neck get a pet pig or a black dog with one white spot that terrifies mudslimes
FOOD, RECIPES, FOOD,RECIPES, MORE FOOD AND MORE RECIPES, AND YET EVEN MORE FOOD AND RECIPES…there ya go matey…
“Muslims feel a sense of belonging.”
That’s NOT what we want you Moose Limbs to feel. We would rather you have a sense of impending doom. Yours.
Come at me, Bruh.
I’ll beat you senseless with a nice rack of Baby Back Ribs……
Would that be the US version of Ecky Thump ?

You better watch your back. 😁😁😁
I have the courage to mess with you in your turf — Atlanta, Georgia, right?
You want a Mexican standoff? You got one, buddy.
Aren’t you on the “No Fly” list? How long can you tread water?
Unfortunately I’m on the no fly in US. You lucked out…I still wanna see Disneyland.
I can’t swim.
You wouldn’t like Disneyland now, with its tranny worship.
Ugh….thanks for ruining it for me.
I didn’t ruin it, Disney did.
I was watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory the other day (don’t ask me why). The story is set in Pasadena, California.
One scene struck me as very odd: Sheldon Cooper, a lead character visits a book store to check out the children’s section.
Why would you do that unless you’re buying books for your young child. Sheldon isn’t a father.
These were the books in the children’s section (6-8 year old):
1) No more Mama Bear and Papa Bear. The new children’s books are about TWO Daddy bears raising the cub together. Here’s the kicker the cub’s not really sure of his gender.
2) Something about God no longer existing (a really advanced subject for a tiny tot).
In the same scene, Sheldon Cooper a 40-year old man-child is trying to befriend a 6-year old girl.
This isn’t new. Many years ago, there was an uproar over a book being introduced to elementary school age children as young as 6 or 7. It was called “Heather has two mommies” about a Lesbian family. Who knew it would lead to the sheer insanity of transgender drag queens teaching little children to dance like them right inside their schools.
I want my baby back, baby back, baby back……

The muzzies I know, Ramadandingdong is really about eating like a pig in the morning to get through to night where they consume huge Quantities of food to eliminate their hunger.
If Muslim employees are required to work late, employers should allow some time and space for them to break the fast and perform a prayer during sunset, Mitchell said. This break in work is also important for employees such as police officers or firefighters, who may work evening shifts.
END of ARTICLE QUOTE
In other words, Muslim police officers should IGNORE violent crimes taking place in front of them because they need a Ramadan break, and Muslim firefighters need to take a Ramadan break whilst fires engulf buildings???
Huh?
LOLROTF at this post with your comments. Muslimes have made whining a fine art. Isn’t Eid the “feast” where the blood of viciously slaughtered animals runs in the streets? What better way to end Ramadan?
YEs, it is. That’s when I put up my halal slaughter videos.
The info contained above definitely falls into the category of WGAS?!
What is WGAS?
“WGAS” is an acronym for “Who gives a shit?”
OK, thanks.
Similar, I believe, to WGAF.
Who Gives A S**t. Or, WGAF. Either works.
I laughed so hard that I nearly passed out!!! 🙂
Be extra alert from 4/2 – 6/2, everybody!
