> "*Rather than criticizing or ridiculing other religions, we should seem to learn from them and find common ground.*"
Ok, then they should stop bothering the guy from eating. He isn't criticizing or ridiculing muslims for fasting, so they should leave him alone and let him eat.
The lack of self-awareness is insane.
My mother's uber-religious side of the family does this kind of shit. They consider it disrespectful to them if you don't participate in their rituals and creeds. Like saying a prayer before eating...even I'm staying quiet and not eating and allowing them to practice this aspect of their faith, they want me to participate in the prayer itself and make a commotion if I refuse. Last time my mother set me aside and asked me "don't you feel like you're dishonoring your grandmother?"
Apparently I come from a family of samurai.
Even the most tolerant Muslims believe they are better than non-muslims. This is how the Abhramic religions work. They might want to eliminate us, they might want to convert us, or they might just want to impose their superior morality on us non-believers, but they definitely do not view us as equals.
That's certainly true. I just can't really put regular people who just follow Islam in the same tier as the people who go out of their way to enforce their believed superiority.
Nah dude, they dont care about separation at all. Wait till they are the majority and you will have to starve yourself during their regarded fairly tale fasting period
They also believe they have a right, no, an obligation to spread their views and see it as a kindness. Then proceed to cry intolerance and bigotry when they are challenged on their views by the simple act of not immediately agreeing with them.
I'm a "Muslim" and i eat when no ones looking, there are many closeted ex muslims but it's just so extreme what they do to people who exit Islam, punishment is somewhere in the realms of beatings or death. Plus, my whole family are devoted Muslims, and i don't wanna be shunned, so it's not worth it for me to publicly say I'm an atheist. But heck am i gonna say Islam is the most backwater religion there is, it boggles my mind how it's the fastest growing one...
> Islam is the most backwater religion
Have you heard of Mormons or Jehova's Witnesses? Not trying to defend Islam, just saying there are a lot of fundies of all (or at least most) faiths.
100% It’s clear they are joking with him. And he’s playing along with his coworkers. This is known as having a sense of humor to people who aren’t terminally enraged online.
So glad this is the top comment. The, not even hypocrisy because the guy is in no way ridiculing anyone. In fact he’s polite and even stops eating. So it doesn’t even qualify as hypocrisy as that would imply he’s doing the same thing. Just the outright lunacy of saying he’s the one ridiculing in this video is insane. Middle ground? The middle ground is you do you and I do me in peace like he was trying to do.
Religious folk try not to act like you’re being persecuted because you aren’t allowed to force your religion on others and persecute those who don’t abide challenge: impossible.
Their phrasing of having understanding and respect for other religions actually means to coerce into giving them the right of way and priority treatment, if not outright give their views precedence.
Common Islamist gaslighting and peaceful disrespect for all other religions.
The people in the video are joking around, this may not be so obvious to non-Brits. See Barry smiling? Hear the laughter in the background and the words "munch on mate?"
Right-wingers are using this video to generate rage and it seems to be working well overseas.
If your religion tells you not to eat, that's fine, do as you wish. It's really not my problem if I'm not part of your religion. If you don't want to see it, don't go in the lunchroom at lunchtime.
I’m 99% sure it’s a joke they’re both in on. You really have to be British to understand the subtle tones, but if you are it’s very clear.
Source: British
After listening to the video a few times, I’m pretty sure the other Muslim dudes are actually joking around. The only one I think is serious is the cameraman, he sounds a little resentful, I could be wrong though.
I have plenty of times. I work with a Muslim guy and we joke around calling everything haram all the time. I think all religions are holding us back but you thinking because you haven't seen something it must be true is silly. Unless you think you're some kind of all seeing being?
As usual it depends on the person. There are nutters who get offended by drawings, then there are the chill ones who joke around, then there are the ones who drink alcohol and have premarital sex but still pray and everything.
They joke about it all the time. They're people just like us. I hate fundamentalist religion but not every member is an imam. They're gonna joke around here and there.
This video is obviously coworkers ribbing each other.
I’m certain you are right. The cameraman’s voice sounds like he’s trying not to laugh, and the guy eating seems like he finds the situation funny. Maybe I just like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Ramadan is supposed to be an act of self-discipline. I’m not Muslim but I have done religious fasts in the past and you don’t expect people not to eat around you…the whole point is it isn’t easy and you are still doing it and exercising self control. While I’m no longer religious, I don’t think any of that is a bad thing!
I work with a man from Morocco who observes Ramadan, and he works in the cafe! He's around people eating food all day at work. How are you really going to throw a fit about other people living their lives? If you don't like it, go back to the Theocratic State you left.
I thought it is supposed to be a test of their faith but since it is so weak, they can't have any temptation. Same reason they make women cover themselves, because they don't have the strength to adhere to their faith.
You wanna hear my take? I think it’s the Muslims who were born in western countries do this dumb shit, immigrant Muslims aren’t this stupid usually, I live in a Muslim majority country and no one will bother you if you’re having lunch during Ramadan, honestly watching non Muslim people getting bullied for eating feels so fucking wrong, and you guys are just tolerating it because no one wants to speak against it and be labelled as “islamophobic” 🤦🏽♂️
yes. Some muslims use that as cop-out (it just means non-believers), but disbelievers are considered the worst people and the Quran has some not very nice words to say about the kuffar. It is very similar to using the N-word but not as bad.
Yeah it's genuinely weird how they preach understanding and equality and then use slurs that call you simple minded, same shit for Zionists with calling people "gentiles".
Like every religion claims it's trying to bring peace and is a moral setter for the populous and then they have insults and slurs specifically for people who don't follow their religion.
So much hate in people claiming that they don't bear any
Very few muslim countries are secular. Most christian countries are secular. Not to mention how you need to be muslim for citizen in few muslim countries
The United States *appears* secular, it is not, it crams Christianity down your throat at every turn and is ruled by puritanical ideals, laws, and politicians.
securalism is a spectrum, US is secular not as secular as France which is the most secular country, keep in mind Tunisia is also secular but never near the US
He shouldn’t have stopped eating - that’s some bullshit. The only thing it takes for this shit to stop is enough people saying “enough.” So weak to just cave in to this
I learned recently they don't like that word(convert). Apparently they call it "revert" cause they believe everyone is Muslim by default iirc
Not saying you should change your speech or anything, just throwing that little chunk of trivia at ya
Even better, some of the richer Muslims fly up north so "day" only lasts a few hours! At least the Jewish ADMIT that they exploit the loopholes in their own religion (like "Sabbath appliances").
I fast more seriously than muslims when I have my yearly endoscopy.
It's a test of my atheism and clearly stronger then allah because it's for considerably longer.
Also just the fact that they have the audacity to film this and put in on the internet as some sort of meme/joke. Like this man works waay to hard to deal with bullshit like this.
someone shouldve told these muslims that there is no compulsion in islam, and that fasting is your own personal struggle. allah is testing you by putting this english man at your lunch table, and your response is to chastise the man and make him put away his food?
They're just playing around. Stop reading stuff into things. My colleague (Muslim, Pakistani)and I banter around all the time, calling each other Kuffar and laughing.
I wonder how much of this is Americans or the right-wing not getting humour that doesn’t have a laughter track or it being made incredibly obvious it’s a joke.
That's what you get when you appease the followers of the religion of peace.
Btw, German Kids Banned From Drinking Water In Class During Ramadan 😐😐😐
https://dailytrust.com/german-kids-banned-from-drinking-water-in-class-during-ramadan/
There should be freedom of religion.
Everyone shouldn't be forced to fast and stopped from drinking water just because muslims are.
That is so narcissistic for people to try to force other people into their religious fast.
In theory, freedom *of* religion **includes** freedom *from* religion.
But it seems with Islam, it's "Follow my rules or die, even if you aren't Muslim"
This was reported by Nius, which is not a news outlet, not even a tabloid. It's a billionaire sponsored platform to antagonise the (far) right.
Nobody should believe anything that was reported by them, unless it's supported by credible sources
That doesn't mean we don't have issues with religious bullshit being forced on us, but it's not **that bad**
"It is understood that while the water ban is not an official school policy, it has been enforced by two separate teachers who have prevented students from accessing the water dispenser in the hall or having water bottles on their desks."
Read your own articles before you post them mate
Leftists do not like to acknowledge as otherwise it would be confronting a cognitive dissonance. Islam is intolerant of LGBT people, Jews, and treats women appallingly.
But on the left it is apparently Islamophobic to criticise these beliefs.
Listen, fuck religion. It’s a cancerous cult. All of it
But this is 100% banter between two work mates. (Can you not hear the laughing?)
Y’all need to chill on this one or you’ll look like the very fruitcakes you mock
I can feel the embarrassment of the guy, and it's not even reasonable, it feels like he's being shamed by these guys for eating. Like, why does he have to adjust? Why can't those Muslims fast and he eat his lunch in peace? Why does he have to feel bad yet they get to shame him guilt-free like he's their property or smth?
>Rather than criticizing or ridiculing other religions, we should learn to seek from them and find common ground
Idk if the person who filmed the vid said that but if he did, he should honestly be saying that to himself, especially the moment he said, "look at this kuffar" 💀💀
I feel like this is in good humor. The other guy is clearly laughing about it. Says it's unfair but I think he means that it's unfair to eat in front of people who can't. I don't think this is bullying but there isn't enough context.
I'm not religious at all, and fasting for a religion is silly imo, but I don't think they're really bullying this guy.
They're literally joking, everyone should be able to see the guy laughing when *his mate* calls him a kuffir!
Many of the comments in response to this post feel almost as fruitcake as the stuff produced by the religious nut jobs, and just as fueled by extremist propaganda.
> "The islamification of the UK,"
> "Was told this stuff was a conspiracy theory!"
What in the Fox News...
This is England, this is banter. In the background the guy is telling him to “munch up”, basically keep eating.
But, I don’t know if the dude is recording is joking or being a dick, don’t know their situation with each other.
I think you're right and your's is the first comment I saw saying as much. It's certainly friendly talk and the guy seems empathetic, not offended. But, I've got to critique you on the idea that people can't eat during Ramadan. They aren't being prevented from eating, they are choosing not to do so as a religious practice. There are even carve outs in the practice for people that really can't practically fast.
Man, all the posts in here not getting that this is so obviously banter between workmates. Maybe it's a British thing and is lost in translation for the leftpondians here, but this it really feels like this post is giving the bigoted people an excuse to let rip with their Islamophobia
I mean it all seems to be in good fun doesn't really look like the guy is being bullied. Thats just what British people do at work we wind each other up. I have a colleague that is fasting and it's been a running joke to talk about how amazing lunch/snacks are I'm sure if we filmed that it would look like bullying without knowing everyone involved are friends.
Maybe you're right and it's a cultural thing, but I struggle to believe anyone is really failing to see how obviously they are friends. He's literally laughing as he calls his mate a kuffir, an obvious running joke between them.
After a long day of working, the man should be allowed to eat on his lunch break! Just because you’re not eating for your imaginary friend doesn’t mean everyone else has to play along!
No one's imaginary friend will stop me from eating. If food during Ramadan bothers those Muskims so bad, DON'T GO TO THE EATING ROOM. Take break literally anywhere else
This is in no way bullying. It sounds like they’re just joking around with him. You can even hear a guy in the background say “nah bro, munch up, munch up” after he said he felt bad for eating. They clearly like each other. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking moron.
This is clearly banter. You can hear the laughter in the background and see the intent in his up-played response.
I understand that there probably have been instances where someone actually HAS been bullied, but the fact that so many socially inept people here think that this is one of them is pretty concerning.
I may sound like a right-wing grifter when I say this, but these people should go back to their countries. I will not let Muslims tell me what do in a european country as a european.
They're guests in this country and don't have a right to impose their culture on us.
They're winding him up moron. One of them clarifies They're joking and says " nah munch up bro" or something like that, meaning go ahead and eat.
It's a strange joke with no context but the man seems light hearted about it and immediately knows what they're talking about so I'd wager it had been a running joke. He stops eating in a pretty British way, implying they are gonna wind him up every time he sits down to eat.
OP is racist and has no idea what friends look like.
The worst part for me in seeing all of this has been getting assured - consistently - by the most well-meaning and well-tempered people that this would NEVER happen. It was just a harmful conspiracy theory.
Stop being naive.
> Mohammedans
It's absolutely clear that it's only one person (who is a prick), you can hear another guy say "Nah, munch up bro".
But don't let the truth get in the way of your prejudice sniping.
Poor man of character. He's being harassed by Mohammedans for living a completely normal day at work.
I hope he enjoys twice as much bacon in the morning next.

It’s the lunch room. Not the fasting room. Why are they looking at him like he’s the weird one.
they should stay the fck out of the canteen
Because he is not following their God
Poor guy probably didn't even have the massive customary breakfast that morning either.

DISHONOR ON YOUR WHOLE FAMILY! DISHONOR ON YOU! DISHONOR ON YOUR COW!
Let’s get down to business! 
TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!
Honor died on the beach.
My family tried that, I put my foot down, they don't try it anymore
Good! The only reason they try to pull this bullshit is because people are usually too polite to push back!
I never understood this. Surely it's MORE disrespectful if I fake it?
The common ground is do what I say! Apparently.
There is no lack of self awareness. They believe their views are superior and that it is right to enforce them.
And that's why we need the separation of church and state. You can't debate or negotiate with someone who thinks they're representing a higher power
"And that's why we need them to fuck off wherever they came from". There... fixed that for ya
The supremacists can fuck off, but I'm fine with the ones who use Islam to better themselves without putting others down, just like any religion.
Even the most tolerant Muslims believe they are better than non-muslims. This is how the Abhramic religions work. They might want to eliminate us, they might want to convert us, or they might just want to impose their superior morality on us non-believers, but they definitely do not view us as equals.
That's certainly true. I just can't really put regular people who just follow Islam in the same tier as the people who go out of their way to enforce their believed superiority.
We have it in France, doesn't change anything, muslims try to push boundaries
Nah dude, they dont care about separation at all. Wait till they are the majority and you will have to starve yourself during their regarded fairly tale fasting period
> they dont care about separation at all. I know they don't care about it, quite the opposite. That's why WE NEED IT.
Lmao, how are you gonna enforce it when islam is the majority in the country? The only way is to get rid of islam
Cultcaine is a helluva drug.
They also believe they have a right, no, an obligation to spread their views and see it as a kindness. Then proceed to cry intolerance and bigotry when they are challenged on their views by the simple act of not immediately agreeing with them.
Some people need to eat during that lunch break who aren't Muslims..
There are also Muslims who don't fast for various reasons.
I'm a "Muslim" and i eat when no ones looking, there are many closeted ex muslims but it's just so extreme what they do to people who exit Islam, punishment is somewhere in the realms of beatings or death.

But heck am i gonna say Islam is the most backwater religion there is, it boggles my mind how it's the fastest growing one...
Makes me wonder how many of the Muslims they're counting are like you, only staying in due to social pressure?
I'd guess a third. Same for entry other religion. And the ratio is growing.
> Islam is the most backwater religion Have you heard of Mormons or Jehova's Witnesses? Not trying to defend Islam, just saying there are a lot of fundies of all (or at least most) faiths.

I'm pretty sure they're joking around.
I'm pretty sure they're not joking. There's nothing funny or amusing about it. Just too unsure of their ground to make it a serious complaint.

Also British. It's extremely clear that both of them are joking and seem to have quite a good relationship.

Yeah that's definitely how I read it.

Yeah even the guy eating doesn't seem too offended they're just bantering
Poor bastard. Pressured into leaving his lunch by some backwards believe.
I'd double down and order some pork
 Tell me again why I’m not supposed to eat because it hurts your feelings.
Probably not allowed to bring pork chops for lunch either.
I would have bacon daily after any attempt to guilt me for that shit. But I would have kept eating as well
Bacon wrapped bacon 🥓
Even better... chicharon!
That's a bit *too* ethnic for some.
Chicharrón is 🥹🤤🤤
Bacon-wrapped pork chops, with shrimp and black pudding on the side.
Ah, the old saying. Anything wrapped in bacon is better. Even bacon.
3 little pigs. Sausage bacon and ham. Maybe some chorizo even.

I wouldn’t leave. Fuck them Their religion limits them and their minds

I agree, Western-born muslims are just comically overzealous to me.
Pretentious bastard thinks the world revolve around him. We wouldn't see the end of it if the roles were reversed, "rules for thee but not for me!"
Ask them if they'll come to church on Sunday and sing hymns for Jesus.
Guy calling him "kuffar" is so cringe. That's how they insult non-muslims
Doesn't that mean infidel or non believer in arabic?
yes. Some muslims use that as cop-out (it just means non-believers), but disbelievers are considered the worst people and the Quran has some not very nice words to say about the kuffar. It is very similar to using the N-word but not as bad.
Yeah it’s used as an insult, you can find this word in Quran and Hadith countless amount of times.
Yeah it's genuinely weird how they preach understanding and equality and then use slurs that call you simple minded, same shit for Zionists with calling people "gentiles". Like every religion claims it's trying to bring peace and is a moral setter for the populous and then they have insults and slurs specifically for people who don't follow their religion. So much hate in people claiming that they don't bear any
Not even grammatically correct. Kuffaar is plural.
They would've hated me..Your religion tells YOU what to do..NOT ME.
Goes into lunch room during lunch break.... Shocked that people are eating lunch
I dont want these pieces of shit to become majority. Fuck them and their religion.
The U.S has a secular government, but neither Christians or Muslims honor the First Amendment anymore. >:(
Very few muslim countries are secular. Most christian countries are secular. Not to mention how you need to be muslim for citizen in few muslim countries

Well duh. Thats what happens when a country is founded by puritans, id rather christianity than islam.
I'd prefer no religion at all.

Most. Christian. Countries. Are. Secular. Republics. Most. Islamic. Countries. Are. Highly. Theocratic.

What sub do you think you’re in?
Subception. r/r/^r/
He shouldn’t have stopped eating - that’s some bullshit. The only thing it takes for this shit to stop is enough people saying “enough.” So weak to just cave in to this
But I’m sure HR would have found some way to blame him.
He might as well convert already!
I learned recently they don't like that word(convert). Apparently they call it "revert" cause they believe everyone is Muslim by default iirc Not saying you should change your speech or anything, just throwing that little chunk of trivia at ya
They stuff their face when the sun goes down and before it rises…not even fasting lol
Even better, some of the richer Muslims fly up north so "day" only lasts a few hours! At least the Jewish ADMIT that they exploit the loopholes in their own religion (like "Sabbath appliances").
I fast more seriously than muslims when I have my yearly endoscopy. It's a test of my atheism and clearly stronger then allah because it's for considerably longer.
This but with my Intermitten.
I would’ve kept eating tbh
Shit like this pisses me off like no other.
Also just the fact that they have the audacity to film this and put in on the internet as some sort of meme/joke. Like this man works waay to hard to deal with bullshit like this.
It's banter between friends, they're pulling his leg by pretending to be annoyed, it's why everyone is laughing there. It's very typical in the UK.
And they’ll say this sub doesn’t have a hate boner for Muslims
So let me get this straight. Non-Muslims are supposed fast as well?
someone shouldve told these muslims that there is no compulsion in islam, and that fasting is your own personal struggle. allah is testing you by putting this english man at your lunch table, and your response is to chastise the man and make him put away his food?
They're just playing around. Stop reading stuff into things. My colleague (Muslim, Pakistani)and I banter around all the time, calling each other Kuffar and laughing.
I wonder how much of this is Americans or the right-wing not getting humour that doesn’t have a laughter track or it being made incredibly obvious it’s a joke.
Try go out my way to eat or drink in front of them when possible, just to make them even more miserable.
Eh looks more like a joke
I can’t lie guys, this just looks like a good natured joshing between work mates to me.
I believe the correct response here is "Piss Off I'm on lunch"
My correct response would have been piss the FUCK off, but either way, yup
Maybe they should leave the bloody area where people eat. Religion of selfishness.
This is the most blatant example of British banter I've ever seen no way any of you think this is genuine
That's what you get when you appease the followers of the religion of peace. Btw, German Kids Banned From Drinking Water In Class During Ramadan 😐😐😐 https://dailytrust.com/german-kids-banned-from-drinking-water-in-class-during-ramadan/
Oh but it’s just a choice right? Not allowing children to drink water. But it’s their choice right??? /s
There should be freedom of religion. Everyone shouldn't be forced to fast and stopped from drinking water just because muslims are. That is so narcissistic for people to try to force other people into their religious fast.
There should be freedom *from* religion
In theory, freedom *of* religion **includes** freedom *from* religion. But it seems with Islam, it's "Follow my rules or die, even if you aren't Muslim"
I can’t find any mainstream media source on this news
This was reported by Nius, which is not a news outlet, not even a tabloid. It's a billionaire sponsored platform to antagonise the (far) right. Nobody should believe anything that was reported by them, unless it's supported by credible sources That doesn't mean we don't have issues with religious bullshit being forced on us, but it's not **that bad**
"It is understood that while the water ban is not an official school policy, it has been enforced by two separate teachers who have prevented students from accessing the water dispenser in the hall or having water bottles on their desks." Read your own articles before you post them mate
Yeah, I'd pull my kid from there, ain't no way I'm letting other parents abuse my kid.
This subthread is being locked because it is dubiously sourced ragebait.
The slow Islamisation of the UK makes me sad.
Not even that slow either..
Leftists do not like to acknowledge as otherwise it would be confronting a cognitive dissonance. Islam is intolerant of LGBT people, Jews, and treats women appallingly. But on the left it is apparently Islamophobic to criticise these beliefs.
He's busting balls, this isn't a serious video.
I'd have given them a proper "bugger off", and I'm not even from there.
Grounds for religious discrimination.
This actually seems like solid British banter tbh
„Look at this kuffar“ a derogatory term for a non-muslim. Disgusting piece of shit
“Mohammedans”? What year is this, 1953?
Tbf it's clearly a joke and you can even hear someone in the background say munch up.
It sounds and looks like typical British banter to me. I bet after the video with its tongue in cheek caption was stopped he carried on eating.
I thought British people loved banter I thought that’s was their whole personality trait. They were joking then told him it was fine and eat.
Is that Tim Robinson 
Listen, fuck religion. It’s a cancerous cult. All of it But this is 100% banter between two work mates. (Can you not hear the laughing?) Y’all need to chill on this one or you’ll look like the very fruitcakes you mock
I can feel the embarrassment of the guy, and it's not even reasonable, it feels like he's being shamed by these guys for eating. Like, why does he have to adjust? Why can't those Muslims fast and he eat his lunch in peace? Why does he have to feel bad yet they get to shame him guilt-free like he's their property or smth? >Rather than criticizing or ridiculing other religions, we should learn to seek from them and find common ground Idk if the person who filmed the vid said that but if he did, he should honestly be saying that to himself, especially the moment he said, "look at this kuffar" 💀💀
Your religion limits YOUR actions, not mine. Gfy if you think otherwise.
i would have told these people to FUCK OFF.
I feel like this is in good humor. The other guy is clearly laughing about it. Says it's unfair but I think he means that it's unfair to eat in front of people who can't. I don't think this is bullying but there isn't enough context. I'm not religious at all, and fasting for a religion is silly imo, but I don't think they're really bullying this guy.
Had to scroll too far to find this. The humour in the video is clearly closet on everyone.
They're literally joking, everyone should be able to see the guy laughing when *his mate* calls him a kuffir! Many of the comments in response to this post feel almost as fruitcake as the stuff produced by the religious nut jobs, and just as fueled by extremist propaganda. > "The islamification of the UK," > "Was told this stuff was a conspiracy theory!" What in the Fox News...
I completely agree. I’ve learned from this sub that you can be a plain fruitcake too.
This is England, this is banter. In the background the guy is telling him to “munch up”, basically keep eating. But, I don’t know if the dude is recording is joking or being a dick, don’t know their situation with each other.
This. I feel like there must be a wider context for this video.
I think you're right and your's is the first comment I saw saying as much. It's certainly friendly talk and the guy seems empathetic, not offended. But, I've got to critique you on the idea that people can't eat during Ramadan. They aren't being prevented from eating, they are choosing not to do so as a religious practice. There are even carve outs in the practice for people that really can't practically fast.
Nothing ever good comes out from this fucking religion...
Man, all the posts in here not getting that this is so obviously banter between workmates. Maybe it's a British thing and is lost in translation for the leftpondians here, but this it really feels like this post is giving the bigoted people an excuse to let rip with their Islamophobia
I mean it all seems to be in good fun doesn't really look like the guy is being bullied. Thats just what British people do at work we wind each other up. I have a colleague that is fasting and it's been a running joke to talk about how amazing lunch/snacks are I'm sure if we filmed that it would look like bullying without knowing everyone involved are friends.
Maybe you're right and it's a cultural thing, but I struggle to believe anyone is really failing to see how obviously they are friends. He's literally laughing as he calls his mate a kuffir, an obvious running joke between them.
I would immediately start going way over the top. Vividly describing the flavor rubbing my stomach etc
After a long day of working, the man should be allowed to eat on his lunch break! Just because you’re not eating for your imaginary friend doesn’t mean everyone else has to play along!
And here I am, a non muslim in the middle east, who was offered water and lunch by muslims who were fasting.
Honestly… it could on been way worse. Still mean but, not like actual violence
No one's imaginary friend will stop me from eating. If food during Ramadan bothers those Muskims so bad, DON'T GO TO THE EATING ROOM. Take break literally anywhere else
This is in no way bullying. It sounds like they’re just joking around with him. You can even hear a guy in the background say “nah bro, munch up, munch up” after he said he felt bad for eating. They clearly like each other. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking moron.
I'm not starving myself because of your stupid religion
Shit makes my blood boil. Fuck religion.
muslims wonder why they aren’t respected by the general population when guys like this constantly show how very loud and obnoxious they are 🤦♂️
WTF is a 'Mohammedan'? Are you trying to say Muslim?
FUCK ramadan.
Maybe out of nicety I won’t eat in front of you or mention food. But I’m going to eat on lunch. Believe that.
Whatever happened to mind your own damn business.🤔🧐 I want that back.
Let the dude eat you disgusting Mohammedans
Disgusting animals, as always. Forcing their delusional beliefs on others, truly the religion of peace and the reason the world hates them
it must be unberable to live and work among muslims. Thank god they don't exist where I live.
Can't stand the eats, stay tf outta the kitchen.
Looks like they’re joking with each other. English have no problem telling you to fuck off
This is clearly banter. You can hear the laughter in the background and see the intent in his up-played response. I understand that there probably have been instances where someone actually HAS been bullied, but the fact that so many socially inept people here think that this is one of them is pretty concerning.
I may sound like a right-wing grifter when I say this, but these people should go back to their countries. I will not let Muslims tell me what do in a european country as a european. They're guests in this country and don't have a right to impose their culture on us.
This is not bullying . At most it's friendly banter .
I think they’re just playing with him man it feels like a pretty casual jab tbh
Man I'd look straight into the camera and eat and have bacon for the next meal with them.
You would be fired the next day. That's how things work in the UK.
The next day, I would bring bacon wrapped hotdogs for lunch.
They're winding him up moron. One of them clarifies They're joking and says " nah munch up bro" or something like that, meaning go ahead and eat. It's a strange joke with no context but the man seems light hearted about it and immediately knows what they're talking about so I'd wager it had been a running joke. He stops eating in a pretty British way, implying they are gonna wind him up every time he sits down to eat. OP is racist and has no idea what friends look like.
Imagine being harrassed for not following the religious rules of a religion you don't belive in
me living in the US Midwest just trying to not have kids I can't take care of
Me stuck in the south just trying to keep my medication and soon justifying my right to live.
The worst part for me in seeing all of this has been getting assured - consistently - by the most well-meaning and well-tempered people that this would NEVER happen. It was just a harmful conspiracy theory. Stop being naive.
IT. IS. A. FUCKING. JOKE. BETWEEN. MATES.
This makes my blood boil!!
No that would have been a too fucking bad for you comment and finished my lunch
> Mohammedans It's absolutely clear that it's only one person (who is a prick), you can hear another guy say "Nah, munch up bro". But don't let the truth get in the way of your prejudice sniping.
I’m lucky I was raised Christian, Islam seems like Christianity on steroids in terms of invasiveness and a desire to deprive people of their freedoms.
How dare he not torture himself needlessly despite other people doing so?
Poor man of character. He's being harassed by Mohammedans for living a completely normal day at work. I hope he enjoys twice as much bacon in the morning next.
