Islamic apologists in the West have frequently insisted that Sharia laws apply only to Muslims. Mohamed Saleh El-Munajjid, who has a worldwide following, disagrees.
“‘No food for infidels before iftar’: fatwa published by Egyptian newspaper sparks outrage,” by Thaer Mansour, The New Arab, April 13, 2022:
A controversial fatwa published by the privately-owned Egyptian newspaper, Al-Masry Al-Youm, sent shockwaves across Egypt due to its call to ban the sale of food during daytime in Ramadan to ‘infidels.’
A controversial fatwa [edict] published on Tuesday by Egypt’s privately-owned daily Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper that calls for a ban on serving food before iftar time during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to “infidels” has sent shockwaves across the country.
The fatwa was released by preacher Mohamed Saleh El-Munajjid, a Syrian national of Palestinian origin who lives in Saudi Arabia, the hotbed of Wahhabism, an extremist interpretation of Islam….
El-Munajid’s fatwa set off an uproar in Egypt where about 10% of its population follows Christianity, and many believe that the extremist preacher was referring to them as “infidel.”
Meanwhile, the Supreme Council for Media Regulation summoned Al-Masry Al-Youm’s legal advisor for questioning over the published fatwa. The council, an independent entity known for being loyal to the current regime, is tasked with monitoring local media performance.
Later in the day, the newspaper published an apology and a retraction on its website.
“Al-Masry Al-Youm institution owes its readers a sincere apology for the….bizarre fatwa run by one of the journalists…[newspapers] in a clear violation [of the paper’s editorial policy] without checking…The fatwa labelled whoever has a different religion as being an ‘infidel’, a description never used or approved by Al-Masry Al-Youm,” the statement read….

But muslims love to receive food and other stuff from the infidels. That is Islam, only take, take and take from non muslims, never give to non muslims.

If they tried this in America, McDonalds, Burger King and a shit load of fast food places would go belly up.
And it might go part of the way to fixing the obesity epidemic.

I refuse to take any food from a mozlum if I know he/she is a mozlum I like my food to be clean, not as the mozlums prepare it, and without spit. They can call all of the hits on feeding infidels that they please because I’m not eating at their table, whatsoever.

Of course, Muslims eventually want to impose islam and all its bullshit, including fasting for ramadan, on all of us, so i guess that this maggot is only indicating what is in store for all of us if Muslims get their way. Thuggish islam is always out to impose all its garbage on all of us. There is no getting along peacefully with islam and never has been..
Fitna says
There were stories of infidels being forced to eat in washrooms during Ramadan in Muslim majority countries, to not offend the Muslims.
Islam is all about making Muslims lives more miserable so they can envy and hate non-Muslims for their freedom and relatively easy life and then force Islam on them so their lives suck just as much.
There was a time western civilization used to speak openly and freely about eliminating other ideologies, cultures and religions.
Today we walk on eggshells when it comes to evil death cults like Islam and we censor each other and ourselves whenever someone says something truthful but uncomfortable.
The reality is that Islam is worse in many ways than Nazism was and I see nothing wrong with saying it needs to be wiped out, whatever shape or form that takes.
They are at war against us after all, why can’t we say we should win that war? If they win, then life will be a living hell for us all.

I agree with you, Fitna. I can see nothing good in islam. It seems barbaric, murderously violent and, like you, I’d love to see it gone from the human race. I have met some Muslims who seemed pleasant, though I would not say that I knew them well, but I always think, well, they are OK in spite of Islam’s evil nature. I also agree with you about how so many people in western societies do walk on egg shells to try to avoid offending islam, which i find pathetic. i think that Islam needs to be continually criticised and not treated with the idiotic respect that it gets from many people. I can find nothing good in it and so it should be constantly criticised. I put Islam on the same moral level as Nazism.
