    One hint of a sniff of a whimper of religious intolerance here and it's WPs at light speed.

    I see you're familiar with here; you were on holiday or ?
    I thought it was against Muslim law to drink alcohol. Anyway, same to you and all with whom you associate, be it friends, family, coworkers or acquaintences.

    Islam is not law in Turkey, IA. People are free to believe and behave the way they wish to. Let's try not to turn this into something Backroom-ish. My only intention using Ramadan as a means was not in order to go pro-Islamic; I used it because it's when we visit our friends, relatives, beloved ones, and taste the most delicious desserts (baklava anyone?) and food. It's a tradition that, against all odds, never got changed, and I'm happy and hopeful that people are still able to show their humanity, they at least are carrying crisps of it.

    Beirut, I don't know what wacky means, but I don't think Dariush would intend an offence at me and I see all fellaz here are as good as Muslims at understanding the friendship that Ramadan carries.

    P.S. Andres, seriously, Kuran is not a hobby read. You need to tidy up and clean yourself before reading it. I did not say you were insulting. Only such an action would be an insult in terms of Islam.

    Oh, I didn't mean in Turkey, I meant while celebrating an Islamic event, one would want to follow Islamic law as much as possible. I am well aware of the secular Turkish government. Yes, Holidays are always good chances to clean uponeself, visit with family (especially large ones, the more the merrier) and eat the delicious cooking of various relatives.
    Baklava is delicious, and is also the reason why honey is a gift from God!

    We use honey or cheese, but I prefer honey.
    I think the general consensus is that Baklava, no matter what it is made with, is a tasty delicacy for all. Agreed?

    I do like baklava. It tastes mjummie. But Turkish Delight tastes even better.

    Hmmm... sweet Turkey. And you can take that literally...

    I bought Baklava especially for Eid. Unfortunately the store I usually buy it in, has closed.
