i hope you all had a good ramazan! we got Eid soon now

just wondering .. are u from mousil ?? if yes, what part?? i have all my mom's family living in mousil and baghdad

I have relatives in Mosul too... Don't know which part of it though - but probably the eastern part!

i visited mousil this summer .. xude its so so scary there .. we would be shopping and all of a sudden you hear guns and a bomb going off somewhere .. i was a scardy cat i would run to the nearest store .. one time i did that .. the guy in the store was laughing at me i said it looks like people here dont care for their livez .. they dont run for their livez .. they didnt even look scared or acted like they were scared when they heard guns .. he said ppl got used to it

when i was in kirkuk there was just one night we heard shot..that was in imam qasim....we weren't allowed to go to the rooftop of our house...however...i never fasted..and i'm not going to do it either..i just like the meals that my mommy is cooking for me

i don't fast *im still in wonder if i am Muslim or not?, but i respect the ones fasting
i think it's all about the personal choice and religion and practicing it is something totally personal.

Hop hop hop!

1) this Drum stuff is NOWHERE in the Coran!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just stupid tradtion

2) Turkey is supposed to be a laic republic

3) I'm atheist. In a laic republic I'm supposed to be free to practice my belief IE SLEEP AT NIGHT.

4) I consider that waking everybody up at 3 o clock, then 3h15, then 3h30, then 4h is INTOLERANT: there are atheists, alevis, christians, non practicing muslims in Istanbul ok? even taoïsts I guess, my neighbor is a jap! So forcing everybody to wake up is acting as if everybody was muslim!

5) It is not just random noise, it is made to wake you up!!!

5) Turkey is a modern country, people have heard of Alarm clock!

6) At the end of ramazan they come to ask for money! first time I did not speak turkish, I just said I did not understand and closed the door. This time, he will hear me!

By the way you're describing it, it sounds like the film, "The Time Machine".
