She did not eat or drink anything during daylight hours & by the end of this practice was quite unwell Don't think she was allowed a paracetamol for her blinding headache & I saw her looking pretty poorly
For what?
So any religion, creed, faith or whatever label you wish to put on it that preaches such idiocy & inflicts such unnecessary hardship on fellow humans can't be right now can it

As Stephen Fry once said
Religion........sh1t it
I also dislike religion and like id to move consensually as far from all religious practice in the long term future. But it's here and we deal with it.

I much more hate racism which is what you do when you make general statements like that. What does your Muslim friend make of such a statement that includes her and all Muslims?
