- Chebsi, on 09/19/2008, -14/+267You don't need to be a Muslim to appreciate the great photos in this submission.
- dstz, on 09/19/2008, -11/+219All those pics are beautiful, some are stunning.
- negrin, on 09/19/2008, -11/+139Ooh, some wicked good photography in there!
Boston. com could do with a proofreader though:
"A Muslim woman reads a copy of the korean."
Kekeke. - n064, on 09/19/2008, -24/+131these pictures are beautiful they show how peaceful Islam really is, especially in the month of Ramadan.
- Molle7, on 09/20/2008, -4/+93I want to taste some of that food. Looks yummy!
- Chronictrees, on 09/19/2008, -19/+104Heh, don't get started on Christianity.
- RabeiUsura, on 09/20/2008, -5/+80I'm in Damascus, Syria for some business so i have been able to experience Ramadan first hand and i have to say i'm impressed how much effort this people take to be observant to their tradition while also being tolerant to foreigner that are not fasting. While the pictures are beautiful i think they fail to convey the general idea of Ramadan that is for people to live like the poor and the needy so they can understand the suffering and be compassionate to them.
Other thing to notice is that because Ramadan follows a lunar calendar the dates change very year, and are tending to go towards summer (which makes days longer and hence longer fasting). - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -31/+90For men and women who submit (to Allah),- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward. (Quran 33:35)
Allahu Akbar! - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -4/+61I'm a muslim, and I find people like you hilarious.
I can't help but enjoy the fear you have of me and my people :)
BOO!! - jontando, on 09/20/2008, -8/+64Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people.
He was a Roman Catholic.
Or does he not count, since he wasn't a proper Christian? - smartsalman, on 09/20/2008, -8/+62im hungry.. lol (ya im fasting..)
- SQLserver, on 09/20/2008, -5/+58Ever heard of Joel's Army?
The Spanish Inqusition?
The Crusades?
The countless European holy wars(against other christians, too!)
Slavery?
Anti-homosexual rights?
The KKK?
Brutally murdering abortion doctors?
The Holocaust?
Christianity has done some UGLY things.... - mitch37, on 09/20/2008, -8/+55Wow, is Digg really this anti-muslim? (Referring to comments)
I thought it was just a niche of crazies that were. I consider the demographic of digg to be 'informed geeks', but its just sad some of the comments coming out of here.. - 10lbhammer, on 09/19/2008, -9/+54boy, that didn't take long did it! like chronic said above me, don't think christians aren't at fault for their own set of atrocities...
- ozydingo, on 09/20/2008, -4/+48"don't think christians aren't at fault for their own set of atrocities"
They're not, and neither are Muslims at fault for the actions of a few extremists. Cool, now that that's settled, can we stop bickering now? - Melinda38, on 09/20/2008, -5/+45Wow those are beautiful images.
- truspect0r, on 09/20/2008, -0/+37Those Syrian sweets sure looks tasty.
- orukabir, on 09/20/2008, -2/+38Oh man.. even though I'm hardly religious, these photos make me miss home. :)
- puncturevine, on 09/20/2008, -3/+39The entire catholic / protestant war that lasted decades in ireland......The inquisition...... George w Bush.
You dont need to be a suicide bomber or a muslim to kill needlessly it seems - Bandicoot2it, on 09/20/2008, -4/+39Picture 3; translation of the chapter that begins on the right hand side
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/049.qmt.html - inactive, on 09/20/2008, -2/+36I'm not a religious man, and I find those images breathtakingly moving. The photographers have really captured the essence of the people, and the faith. Thank you for sharing - as a photographer also, they're all incredibly inspirational.
- Definition, on 09/20/2008, -7/+41Ramadan is a time of peace, unity and humility.
It's a shame that people like yourself have to spoil it. - DocHoliday22, on 09/20/2008, -3/+34I'm Muslim myself and I think everyone hates ALL the politics that come with religion. If it's a festive period you can't help but be drawn in, for instance I really like Christmas and look forward to it because it's just a nice time and eveyone seems nicer not to mention the pressies and movies that come on TV.
- ninjacell, on 09/20/2008, -4/+34great photos ... love to unity in diversity
- hypnotistess, on 09/20/2008, -6/+36Amazing pictures. Im inspired by the concept of fasting. For selfish reasons you get to detox your body. For altruistic reasons you get to experience how someone who is poor maybe and develop empathy. Islam is such a beautiful religion
- Vacks, on 09/20/2008, -12/+41#16 I'm from Kladanj, and I've been to this cave. The whole tradition is preislamic and our ancestors did this even before turks came and we accepted Islam from them. We kept some of the old traditions and implemented them into our "new" faith. All pictures were very good and I hope that one day all people no matter religion can live together without any prejudice.
- burkay, on 09/20/2008, -1/+30So you woke up early in the morning and found a "chick" with her head on your chest whose name you don't even know, and all you could improvise is to log in to digg and leave unnecessary racist comments to a thread with religious content??? Congratulations.
- abdo, on 09/20/2008, -9/+36This is what real Islam is about.
- kpwells, on 09/19/2008, -9/+35☁ amazing pictures! ☁
- darkstar949, on 09/20/2008, -0/+26Digg's main demographic used to be informed geeks but once Digg started becoming more of a general news/web submission site the population changed over to more of a general internet population. Somewhat like the Eternal September of Usenet.
- waydee, on 09/20/2008, -1/+26Yeah I heard the Christians bake a pretty good cake when they're not out shooting civilians in Iraq.
Get a grip. - inactive, on 09/19/2008, -28/+52Salaam..Shalom...Shanti...Peace....Let It Be....Imagine
- Vodd9, on 09/20/2008, -3/+26I'm definitely joining their religion for the food. Looks pretty tasty.
- flawracle, on 09/20/2008, -3/+26pic 10 = in front of my house....I live in malaysia, specifically in Kuala Lumpur and that's one tasty chicken wings that only available during Ramadhan~
- bubba9999, on 09/20/2008, -2/+24People are destructive. Some use religion as an excuse.
- inactive, on 09/20/2008, -10/+32I couldn't fast all day for a month straight, that *****'s rough and takes way too much discipline. Santa Clause ftw.
- ufucuk, on 09/20/2008, -8/+30Why don't you talk about Christan mass murderers? Like bush! Killing muslims. I don't care about religions, but the truth is muslims and christians will never live in peace if you go on to vote for such dumb asses like bush. open your eyes Americans. They use you. All world can see it except you. your guns, your technology will be useless in 20 years. At least watch the movie zeitgeist. It will tell you the truth about Jesus and your country.
- inactive, on 09/20/2008, -0/+21"O you who believe! if an evil-doer comes to you with a report, look carefully into it, lest you harm a people in ignorance, then be sorry for what you have done."
someone should forward that one to Bush. Also, strange that I didn't see anything about killing anyone in any of that. - ivansusanin, on 09/20/2008, -3/+24ted kaczynski
- MrChunks, on 09/20/2008, -2/+21agnostic atheist? commit to one or the other, dammit!
- inactive, on 09/20/2008, -7/+26wow jews won't even let them pray after stealing their land.
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -28/+46No, but it's just a matter of time before the right wing scum gets in here and starts their ignorant racism.
- AbdullahAbuDawu, on 09/20/2008, -1/+19Hey who said you could write about the Qur'an talking about peace?! We have the western media fooled into believing we are raving lunatics and all you are doing is showing them Islam is actually peaceful? Thanks a lot! Now I can't scream 'Allahu Ackbar!' at the passing trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
- tonyrocks, on 09/20/2008, -2/+20OH man, the food looks yummy! Where are the grapeleaves?
- SQLserver, on 09/20/2008, -2/+20I bet you voted for Bush twice.
- bubba9999, on 09/20/2008, -1/+18What'd you do with her cane and dog?
- Cloudime, on 09/20/2008, -7/+24***** you.
- burkay, on 09/20/2008, -4/+21Please remove the mirror in front of your screen.
- manaf, on 09/20/2008, -0/+16This is NOT an Islamic custom BTW. Rather a local custom.
- damack, on 09/20/2008, -0/+16Some of the food looks amazing when they can cook that well it makes you wonder how they fast!
I looked up the mosque in the fourth picture after seeing those amazing pillars, what I found is amazing I though I'd share it, the mosque is apparently the largest in Asia:
