Fair enough Markey. If I'm being honest I have to say that this town does not appear to have many Muslims. At least when my sons were at school then there were only 2 in the whole school that I was aware of. It must be very different in London. Yes, also if Im honest then it doesn't seem quite right that children are being made to fast. A child's a child and full of energy. This is when choice comes in. Being old enough to choose your faith. It's a touchy subject, but one which any decent parents will help their child through.

Pr-pubescent children do not have to fast during Ramadan they are totally exempt.

Older children may fast if they wish to do so - it is not compulsory and it is recommended that they only fast for half a day.

Re: Ramadan

One of our plot holders was talking about fasting the other week, saying his wife was unable to do so. As her husband, he donated to charity instead. I believe this is something they do, make a donation if they are unable to do the fast.
