Non Muslims celebrating Eid al Fitr

[Madridinmymemories]

I live in a very diverse area. This year and last I've noticed a huge increase in my white hippie mum mates attending Eid al Fitr (end of the Eid fasting) celebrations. Down the road from us they get big tables out and shut the road off, it looks a great street party!
My issue is that we (Non Muslims) haven't partaken in Ramadan so why should we get to celebrate the feast bit? If we were really into celebrating every cultural occasion then wouldn't we do the fasting bit as well?

I can't think of an equivalent for another faith joining in on our festivities without doing the religious bit first. Most people eat Easter eggs without having given anything up for lent. Most people nowadays just enjoy the present and food bit of Christmas without thinking too much about Jesus being born.
Am I just being grumpy? I think if I was Muslim I would find non Muslims just joining in the feast bit kind of strange.

Heaven forbid, people are celebrating another culture rather than attacking it.

Many, many people only celebrate secular Christmas and Easter anyway, even if they call themselves Christian.

Christmas not a religious holiday? Tell that to a Christian.
Sorry but your post is a bit weird, if people can celebrate Christmas or Easter without the religious aspect then non Muslims can celebrate eid without fasting. It’s exactly the same and the fact that so many people do it doesn’t make Christmas and Easter a non-religious holiday.
Why the heck are you all up in their business anyway?

The more the merrier! My family regularly invite non-Muslim neighbours and friends. It’s lovely.

Ps. Muslims are not just ‘brown’ There are Turks, Bosnians, Malaysians, Africans and more. Media led-misconception.

drizzleinbrizzle lots of people go to church at Christmas. Most congregations are depleting rapidly the rest of the year.

^ this Church of England (CE) = Christmas and Easter as my vicar says! but everyone is welcome even if it is just twice a year - Jesus doesn't mind therefore neither should we!
