[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is using the month of Ramadan simply to fast without following Islam a form of cultural (religious?) appropriation? I’ve seen non-Muslims do this and it strikes me as offensive. And yes I know in Muslim majority countries some non-Muslims may fast for a number of reasons but my thought above is asking how fasting by non-Muslims in the US should be categorized.[/quote] Are you Muslim? I am and am not offended in the slightest. In fact I find it beautiful that someone would be so interested in wanting to understand my experience like that. I have not heard of any non-Muslim fasting for the entire month, but have heard and know people who will try it for a day or few days. [/quote] The non-Muslims I’ve met who do this brag about fasting and often say that they use the month of fasting to cleanse or lose weight. Of dozens, I’ve never ran into one who says they are doing it for the purposes prescribed in Islam.[/quote]
