In your opinion. I’m finding this hysterical. That you are trying to prove a point when I’m just simply taking the p. This all comes from me not being believed that Muslims pray in the streets, which anyone that is interested in politics know is true.

Why don’t you just post your evidence? You might gain recruits for your cause.

Waiting for @Labelledelune to come back and respond to you with Let me guess… ‘in your opinion’. When that’s your entire argument, it says everything about the level of thinking involved.

Or you're wrong ?

I don’t need to remember anything. I have free will and thought as we all do. You obviously struggle with someone having different opinions to yours.

No. Just different spellings.

If you want to use clever spellings on t'internet, you will have to remember how spearchuckers have ruined the lives of the permasmug when it comes to SPAG errors.

Also Muphrys Law looms large.

If you say so. Of course yet again it’s you’re opinion.

You don’t have to be Muslim to recognise bigotry when you see it.

Again, in your opinion.

Happy to look at evidence. Sadly you haven’t provided any! 😂

Seeing as you refuse to look at evidence what more can I do.

Again, in your opinion. You’re very judgy aren’t you, are you a follower of Islam because I see no other reason for sticking up for such a backward ideology. Do you sit with nated breath waiting for me to reply. How very sad.

When mockery replaces intelligence, it usually means there wasn’t much intelligence to begin with.

I'm fasting and working. It affects my colleagues in precisely zero ways apart from 1 less coffee on the round in the office.

I have had a few colleagues who have asked me a question or two and it's nice of them to show an interest, and also helps promote understanding and tolerance. But i'm not offended by anyone not asking, just go about your day.

So ask or don't ask. Your employer opening the conversation is a good thing for most, but you are not expected to participate. Just carry on with your day 💁‍♀️
