Delicious sweet Pakistani dish

That's the not-rice pudding with extra diabeetus kinda thing isn't it?

You're thinking of sheer khurma which is also delicious and is a sort of rice pudding with dates.

Seviyan is a sweet noodle dish:

Spoiler: show

Had that. And curries and samoosas and all kinds of sweet stuff. I am fortunate I'm having a young Muslim couple as neighbours, very observant. And they spoil me rotten... And I love it.

Eid Mubarak, all.

Both seviyan or as its called in Punjabi Semiyan and kheer are great. I am more of a flooda with ice cream man my self.

Reading the theead title I thought things were kicking off in Eygpt again.

I am sitting here with four different Indian cooking books around me, some of which includes the more Islamic tastes. And a well mannered neighbourly lady is Islamic religion and Indian extraction. I plan to exploit this situation fully ....

“Well mannered”? You’ve got a good one there.

Gee, it's so much easier not to have a deity on your back.

Lent is better, paddy's day is a day off lent for a start

Beautiful family. Teachers, mom and dad . Beautiful little girl. Dedicated Muslims. Respectful towards the elderly (me !). Like them a lot.

Christianity have much more idolatry than Islam. Paganism is mostly fraud, atheism the falsest of all.
A most egalitarian religion, Islam. Can be tremendously elegant.
Leave them be, they have something going for them. And they make wonderful food...

I saw that some German churches opened up to let Muslims pray as the social distances at Mosques meant they couldn’t all fit in. I’m an atheist, but stuff like that gets a big

I am so glad this shit is nearly over.
For the past month a deranged cvnt banged a fvkking drum at around 2:30 around my neighbourhood in Istanbul.
Fvk all religions.

Is there maybe a Turkish NHS?

I dunno how this got bumped but I stick by my original comments.

Someone not eating and then stuffing themselves based on some religious mumbo jumbo?

Sure, go for it, good for you. But I don't give a shit.

I'd offer congratulations if it were some health and fitness goal but not on account of religion.

It's a f-cking shit religion, even slightly more shit than Christianity that teaches to drag a non-virgin on her wedding day to her father's door and stone her to death.

I’m not sure I understand your post WT. You list a number of Norse pagan deities / seasons and seem to suggest they have some Christian relevance? Maybe I have misunderstood.

You then dismiss paganism as mostly fraud? How so? There is no pagan scripture as such. No Bible. No Quran. What is it you regard as fraudulent?

Im with mog on this one. There is no such thing as a beautiful religion, unless you are a historian looking back. Otherwise its make belief nonsense .
Do all muslims do the fasting shit or does that only happen if you are in the backwaters of the middle east and north africa?
I presume there is more of a choice if you living in the western world. Without being stoned to death or beheaded.

Never seem my Muslim neighbours stone or behead each other. Only seen them do much for for charity than, e.g. the Christian churches around. Elsewhere things may seem more radical, but over here it is quite peaceful and balanced.

We each create God in our own image, for ourselves. And carry that deity on our own backs. Atheists have a problem, trying to operate with vacuum as reference point ... Even paganism (of all regions) is much more meaningful than that.

If somebody defines religion by old time customs, they are very wrong... Quite irrelevant, actually.

How many Gods can there be ? Supreme beings, not priests masquerading as gods...

I cannot imagine more than ONE creator - whatever his name or how different people approach him.

Druids - just a scam to try and sell long white robes.

Edit: Eid Mubarak, everyone!

Those dim enough to imagine one, could surely imagine many. I have seen no proof of any.

We get, you don't care and you are desperate to tell everyone you don't care. Get lost and get a life

So Seviyan for food today ? That is delicious. It is sweet Eid after all

Our local guys will have to wait until tomorrow evening - will only see the moon then.

Reckon they will survive ..

It used to be a big part of Eid but in more recent times more and more households make rasmalai and falooda as the sweet dish.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

It’ll be beef rendang, sambal prawn, ketupat and lontong down this neck of the woods today.

Celebrations seriously curtailed though for obvious reasons.

Singapore. So our Malay community will be celebrating. And our Malaysian and Indonesian neighbours of course.

Traditionally there’s now 2-3 weeks of everybody visiting everybody else’s home. But not this year of course.

I'm not desperate to do anything. I've been on this forum about three or four times in the past two weeks.

I just find that announcing how "beautiful" some (really quite violent and nasty) mythological story is, when you secretly believe in some other (quite violent and nasty) mythological story that has everyone of the former burning in hell for eternity for worshiping a false idol (and visa versa, for that matter) maybe just a tad disingenuous.

All the virtue signaling on Eid while voting for governments which have been killing Muslims on mass in every corner of the globe while destroying their countries at the same time.

I personally on the other hand do sincerely wish a happy Eid to all the good people of the world.

Seems all the Muslim nations who inspected the region and did not vote with the NATO agenda at the UN. Even the Taliban, who are a fairly commited bunch of Muslims, have no issue.

They all have issue with the devastation caused by Western governments.

Muslim wellbeing isn't really a topic the west can get any credibility on, none at all.

It was the most obvious of retorts from him so don't pretend you found it funny.

My points still stand as being the facts here also.

Interesting to see geopolitics at play:



Iran heavily relies on China currently and Uighurs are Sunni.

But the irony is the KSA who support Chinese policies.

The Virtue signaling of people who complain about Muslim killings, except they keep denying or deflecting from one particular country over it.
