Mayor asks Londoners to Fast during Ramadan

The mayor of London is asking people to fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Boris Johnson says even if someone's not a Muslim, they should fast to experience Islamic life and to better understand their "Muslim neighbors."

Johnson also encourages Londoners to break their fast by going to the local mosque.

"Muslims are at the heart of every aspect of society. Their contribution is something that all Londoners benefit from," Johnson said.

Israel National News reports there's no word on whether Johnson plans to suggest Muslims and Christians fast on Yom Kippur in order to better understand their Jewish neighbors.

Boris Johnson (a loony) seems to have a sneaky side to him. If the non-Muslim population of London fasts with the Muslims, he can eat all the pies himself and turn into an even more rotund clown.

How is fasting going to make you understand Islam (or Judaism) exactly? What a silly idea.

Boris Jonhson is famous for this kind of foot in mouth comment. He's quite a character, but it says nothing at all about the general mood of Londoners. Nothing at all.

Talking of foot in mouth disease, what is 'wackery' anyway Danno? Do you mean wackier? Perhaps ever more wacky but wackery no no no.

If you are interested, Boris Johnson (Who is a blue blooded conservative all the way to his aristocratic heritage) really is a character and it's worth watching him in action.

Because people of all different faiths being in a state of hunger induced grumpiness simultaneously is sure to further the cause of polite discourse...

well, the whole idea behind fasting is to understand the hunger, pain, and suffering of those who don't have much and who struggle to feed themselves and their families on a daily basis. it's also a good thing physically, i.e. cleansing your body of toxins and contaminants. a third plus is that it enhances your spiritual awareness.... but whatever.

boris is a freak but i heart him because he isn't afraid to express himself lol...

Really. All fasting does is make you think about eating.
