Its That Time Again !

You Know you couldn't wait either,its Ramadan time My friends.

the collapse of the ruling National Democratic Party, brought down by the popular uprising and the ouster of Hosni Mubarak as president, has meant that one of the biggest distributors of charity is gone.

Oh yeah you know what that means, Its hot, no assistance to be seen anywhere, its really hot and so is Achmeds and Mohamheads temper.

I would hate to predict a body count, but I do believe there will be one; we are talking about Ramadan.

The Globe and Mail
Uprisings in the Arab world promise to make this year’s Ramadan a holiday unlike any before.

Ramadan in Cairo, which starts Monday, always has meant fasting by day and partying by night – a big slowdown in economic output and a big upturn in late-evening festivities, as well as an orgy of gift-giving and lots and lots of family time.

This year, however, the month-long religious holiday will have its share of political winners and losers as well.

The fact that it comes this year in the middle of summer only amplifies the holiday effects since fasting, even from drinking water, takes a greater toll in the heat.

Along with the economic downturn and rising food prices, this means that more people than ever will be turning to charity to provide them with evening meals and foodstuffs.
