We visited Egypt a few years ago and stayed with an American in Cairo who worked for the U.S. State Department as a military liaison with the Egyptian military. He told us how the Egyptian men would drag themselves into the office for a few days after Ramadan ended. They were exhausted. He was truly puzzled and asked why they were so tired as Ramadan and the fasting requirements were over. They told him that their wives, mothers and sisters had these huge feasts to celebrate the end of Ramadan and that they were up into the wee hours of the morning and got very little sleep. He said that Egypt was a patriarchal society and that as men they should have said no to the women. They looked at him like he was an idiot and said that they couldn't possibly say no to their wives, mothers and sisters.
Things are pretty much the same everywhere, right guys?
For our Muslim friends and neighbors, today is the last day of Ramadan and a celebration much like Easter or Christmas.
Nothing 'religious' about it.

It is NOT evoking anyone's gods which make it so.
You are delusional if you think Ramamdan isn't religous
And you're turning it into something it isn't.
Rules... following them... ain't it a bitch?
