Thursday 30th August
Celebrate the month of fasting… with daily chocolates!
Story here.
Ok… so I know young children are exempt from fasting, but I’m sure chocolate isn’t really inkeeping with the spirit.

Surely if the sweets aren’t eaten during the fasting hours, then it’s not a problem whatever the age.

Well… I guess so, but since it sort-of has a ‘lent’ feel to it: “refraining from anger, envy, greed, lust, sarcastic retorts, backstabbing, and gossip” I would suggest that chocolates are going against the ‘greed’ thing.

I think I will publish the Qur’an in comic form for the kiddies too. They’d like that.
