I hate Ramadan

Hi I’m Muslim and personally enjoy Ramadan for the food I get to eat later and that’s about it. I understand where it is you’re coming from. I’ve also noticed during this time of year most people turn into complete shitheads and act extra self righteous saying doing regular stuff like listening to music or dancing while you fast invalidates it. I personally believe it’s all bullshit. I’m so sorry your parents are forcing you, I hope you get through this and are able to find freedom soon. Now to the point, I hope it doesn’t offend. From what little I can see your parents seem very backwards and conservative. Please do not take that lightly. If you feel you could be in danger in their presence if you are caught fasting please try and fake it till you make it. It’s horrible advice, I know. But as a Muslim I’ve seen what some of these twats can act like or do to people they don’t believe are “true” followers of the religion. The Quranic verse that stresses to not force religion is lost on these monsters. Particularly if you’re a woman, please be even more cautious. Don’t worry, you’ll be out soon. Plenty of my ex Muslim friends went through what you are going through and they came out stronger. You can do it, just remember to exercise caution all the time. Never ever let your guard fall. Overly enthusiastic Muslims tend to be especially dangerous in Ramadan.
