I must ask my doctor about this conundrum, as to what is permissible and what is haram during Ramadan.

There are certain Islamic countries that would kill him for saying what he said.

Funny, I was just watching this video, before I clicked on this thread. But I already knew before that it's a very retarded tradition.

Ahh Ramadan. The time of the year when Muslims try to be hungry like the poor during the day and eat like kings during the night.

Sorry, but that's not fasting. They're still eating breakfast and dinner every day. Fasting would be drinking only water and/or fruit juices to cleanse the body. What is the point of a "fast" where you eat a large dinner every day? I had never heard the deets of Ramadan before. But that's just pointless. It’s a bit like confession in a way, your meals are cleansed away by going without food or drink for the next few hours. Unfortunately a number of Catholics still commit horrendous sins between confessions and many Muslims seem to eat a horrendous amount of food between fasting.

The point of Muslims fasting in Ramadan is so they can concentrate less on worldly things and more on spiritual. Prayers are doubled in Ramadan - at night there is a prayer called Taraweah which is ten Raka'as (prostrations) which takes almost half an hour to complete. Then the last ten days of Ramadan have a prayer called Tahajjud which is 20 raka'as and can take from one to two hours to complete. During the day fasting people are to refrain not only from food and water, but from sex and smoking cigarettes. They are not supposed to say anything bad or harm anyone or anything. They are to give charity to the poor and give of their wealth a portion for alms according to how wealthy they are. You might not agree with it but it is not harming anyone and something extremely hard to do. Muslims greet Ramadan with joy and look at it as a month where they can get closer to Allah and be a better person.

That's OK, I'm sure many Muslims find many Christian rites confusing too.

The ironic thing about Ramadan is that it is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam but in fact it is conclusive proof that Islam is a false religion. Think about it:
- The Koran is supposed to be God’s final and perfect message to mankind - The Koran contains extensive and very detailed commands that make reference to the Arabic calendar (including but not limited to instructions on what to do and what not to do during the month of Ramadan) - The Arabic calendar is wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, but completely wrong – so wrong as to be unusable anywhere on the planet where seasons exist. A calendar in which the months don’t always fall in the same season simply cannot be used. - It is unthinkable that the Supreme Creator of the entire bloody universe wouldn’t know the duration of the year. - Ergo, God did not write, dictate, or inspire the creation of the Koran, and Islam is a false religion. QED.

That is not the point, because it is a pointless thing to do. And face it, should ANYONE, regardless of belief, be acting badly and harming anyone at ANY time? When I lived in a building in Delhi that was partly a mosque or when I lived in my hometown in which my house was near a mosque, Ramdan was the most annoying time for me. There were announcements on loud speakers very frequently telling them they should have dinner. I was sure enough to be disturbed in my sleep on multiple occasions. They would announce that 90 mins before that 90 mins remain so have your dinner and then even announce the same thing before 60 mins, 30 mins, 15 mins and after the permitted time that don't have anything now because Roza time is over. As for fasting vs feasting - a bit of both. They don't eat anything during the day time but they have lots of food when sun is not out and the quality of food is usually better than normal.

Are Muslims permitted to prepare food during the hours of fasting, or have to wait until it is Roza time? I am not entirely sure but it seems to me that Muslims are allowed to cook before Roza time. Because many of my friends did invite me for Iftar Party and the food was usually served immediately after the Roza time (fasting time). Some of those foods given to me were the kind you need to make in 2 or more hours (biryani for instance). So I think they must be making those foods before the fasting time ends.

I know a Muslim woman who ran a cafe and managed to work in there while observing Ramadan so I suppose it’s okay to touch it as long as you don’t eat it.

My spoiler might feel a bit off putting for some so don't read if you are a sensitive person.
Muslims are not allowed any fluid inside their body during the month of Ramazan. They can't take injections. They can't even swallow their spit. I am not saying that swallowing saliva is a good thing but if you become conscious of that then saliva gets accumulated in your mouth. One of my Muslim friend in class 7th was observing Roza. I saw his face had a strange look in the middle of 8th period. I asked him what is happening he couldn't say anything because his whole mouth was full of spit. He suddenly threw that all down below his seat. Yuck. I felt like vomiting.

Since you know so much about Islam; are tissues haram?

I mentioned Muslims can't ingest any fluid during Ramazan's Roza hours. Here's the law on having sex from an Islamic website.
Question Is it permissible to have sex during Ramadan. Can we have sex in the night and take bath before doing the sahar?
Answer Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Intercourse during the day in Ramadaan is haraam for men and women alike, who are obliged to fast during the day. Doing that is a sin for which expiation (kafaarah) must be offered. The kafaarah is to free a slave; if that is not possible then the person must fast for two consecutive months; whoever is not able to do that must feed sixty poor persons.
Secondly:
With regard to intercourse during the night in Ramadaan, this is permitted and is not forbidden, and the time when it is permitted lasts until the onset of dawn. When dawn comes, intercourse becomes forbidden.
