My family is Muslim and I have to agree my grandmother used to cook foods during Ramadan that she never cooked during the rest of the year and she'd mock me for not fasting because she never accepted that my mom and I had converted to Christianity.

I used to run a diabetes care clinic. I used to be puzzled that my muslim patients' blood sugars went nuts during Ramadan until one of them clued me in about the realities of Ramadan fasting.

A shopkeeper told me that her Muslim customers buy more food during Ramadhan than normal times.

I was in Lebanon in 2000 during Ramadan and can testify that many Muslims do sleep all day and then gorge all night during this month of terrible sacrifice.

Now I have the answer as to why my Muslim friends have been gaining weight during Ramadan and not losing weight 😂

My father-in-law, a Christian pastor, fasted for five days before he visited me and prayed for me when I had a serious illness. I was healed. I didn't know that he had fasted until my M-I-L told me a couple of years later. That is true fasting.

This is spot on. I live in a country that is predominantly Muslim. This is exactly right.

I learned about Ramadan through hosting Saudi students. Sure they ate nothing during the day but asked me to keep all the meals they would normally eat. On top of that they raided the fridge and pantry every night, played loud music while feasting and it was so disruptive. I could not believe that this was a FAST. I called it a FARCE. After three years of this nonsense I declined students from the Middle East because they always came on Ramadan.

Without lies, islam dies.

I am a Christian from Bangladesh! I live in a country with more than 92% Muslims. This is authentic info.

Ramadan = Ram it down 🍔🍟🍗🥪🍕🧆🌯🍫🍰🥓🍖🥘

I grew up Muslim n one day when I was a 13 year old, at school I ate in secret n my friend told my teacher who was a Muslim then he kept me back when class left and gave me a hiding 😂😂 I’m so glad Lord Jesus Saved me

As an ex muslim who still lives in a muslim family and a muslim country .. this month for me is painful .. I have to starve my self and pretend to fast .. I have to eat in secret in my room and in the toilet if I was in the office . And it have to be a packet food .. yet Muslims in western countries lie and say that there's no compulsive in Islam

As an ex-convert, I have to say your description of Ramadan, as it's currently carried out by Muslims, is totally accurate. Originally, you're not supposed to be feasting during the night. I was taught that prophet Muhammad didn't do that. I was taught you're supposed to eat less as a whole, not just simply fast during the day. Nevertheless, I got caught up in the feasting just as much as everybody else. What a joke.

They like to brag when they are fasting and force other people to respect them during the fasting month , people who eat need to avoid eating in front of them during fasting time . You are so true and brave to speak out. If they eat at back door is allowed as long as not being see by other people.

I was in Riyadh during Ramadan back in ‘84. Muslims from everywhere came to walk around a circle for their religious reasons. As they were going to their big circle, there were many women dressed in black from head to toe sitting on hot sidewalks with only their hand sticking out begging for change. Most Muslims walking by to their religious circle ignored these women. That was my introduction to the Muslim religion.

I’ve lived in Arabia and I’ve seen many hypocritical practices about fasting. Just like what you said they eat tons of food at night so they have enough calories reserved for the daytime. And then they have to excuse themselves from doing hardworks since they’re fasting (it became a very good excuse not to do any shit). They work half day and sleep during the other half, at night they feast (eat as much food as they can) before around 4 am. Then the cycle repeats until Eid.

As a fat 28 year old... I just learned that I'm a Muslim. I've been doing Ramadan for the last almost 30 years. I must be very holy.

Man should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed from the mouth of God. The word of God gives us life🙏🙌🏽

1:47 “Gordita” You kill me with that one. 😂😂😂😂😂

I am a born again Christian, and the church taught me that fasting is essential, by the grace of God I even tried 3- day fasting with water only. It feels great especially my spiritual journey. It's a cleansing. Praise God ❤

David never fails in making my faith weaker in Islam every single day,thank you david

Everyone fasts every day (when asleep) and breaks the fast every morning (breakfast).

As a Christian living in a Muslim community, I can attest that this is 100% true. During Ramadan, forget about getting anything done in the day time. Everyone is sleeping so they can gorge themselves all night.

" How can u know they r fasting ? " " They'll tell you "

I once had a conversation with a Muslim woman, she told me that she disagreed with the Koran and that during Ramadan she only fasts during the day. Yet, she still has an evening meal to reward herself for not eating during the day. At the company where we worked everyone was so impressed with her. I thought it odd because she didn't lose weight.

Sometimes i eat more than needed, but in general i eat once a day and skip like a day in a week. I noticed that when i eat too much, more temptations are flooding than when i eat less or not at all.

This is exactly what I say. Just by changing your meal time doesn't mean you are fasting.

I live in Europe and I got a bs email in work yesterday telling us to respect and support our fasting colleagues during Ramadan and not expect them to do as much work this month. And most of all to wish them a happy and joyous Ramadan! Interestingly, there was no such email telling us to show respect to colleagues during Lent.

Dude I love you man please keep making your videos. And no one would cancel you

How they managed to call a food festival a fast is beyond me.

I’m never going to feel bad about fasting only on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, ever again.

Having worked in the Middle East and observed the gluttony, seen the massive weight gain and lethargy of the population I can confirm Ramadan is the binge season!

I told my muslim coworker that i thought Orthodox lent is harder than Ramadan, and he said I was crazy. If water was not included in the fast I could do Ramadan all the time. The only part that even sounded remotely hard was no water.

I didn't realize that. Thank you for the information.

I’m a motorcyclist, and Ramadan is the most dangerous time every year as a biker. These people running on low blood sugar and dehydrated driving fast to go home for a feast. And in the morning they are so overfed that they cant focus on the road. I nearly got killed by these people on multiple occasions

😂 ram it down. I actually used to play tennis with a Muslim guy. He waffled on about fasting. I told him I intermittent fast everyday. He changed the topic quickly when I didn't respond to the virtue signalling. Merry Christmas, David. You're great. 🙏🎅🎄

Tell me why this came up as recommended to me at this time of the year? Perfect timing 😂😂😂

It's called skipping lunch. I do it most days.

😂 until I started intermittent fasting I thought it really was a sacrifice, but now that I can fast and realize it really isn't huge, in fact, it's refreshing and focusing and a good break for my gut. I have no idea how they gorge themselves afterwards. (Also, I just realized that yt hasn't been showing me your new videos and I'm subscribed with the bell on, very sad that they do that to you!)

I stayed with a Muslim family in Oman few years ago. It was Ramadan. During the fasting time, they mostly slept, but when they broke their fast, they absolutely gorged themselves. One of the guys there I saw passed out in the sofa with a bucket of KFC next to him, and a bowl where he put the bones. I've seen the daughter eat 2 burgers and 2 portions of extra large chips and like half a litre of coke in one sitting. It certainly didn’t look very spiritual to me. It kinda defeated the purpose of fasting. No wonder diabetes occur the most during Ramadan.

That’s nuts. I lose like a pound per day when I fast.

When I was forwarded deployed to Bahrain, during the Ramadan month, I always thought that their version of fasting was really backwards. If anyone was caught eating or drinking in public during that month, the Bahraini police would arrest them and confine them in the local jail for that month. It was bizarre, to say the least.

I used to love Ramadan because my aunt used to cook variety of foods during Ramadan and we all used to sit and eat. It is really a feast and fun month.

I was deployed to Afghanistan about 12 years ago, I still remember the month of Ramadan… I worked fairly closely with locals, man when this month rolls around, they were in a bad mood, fighting with eachother constantly, one guy cooked dinner for us out of his truck, it was really really good, nobody else could eat except him, he said he dosnt have to abide by the fasting law because he has stomach issues lol

I am currently fasting as part of my spiritual practice, for its health benefits, and to lose some of my fatty tissue. I fast two days a week every week. I don't abstain from taking in fluids, for obvious health reasons and because staying hydrated is crucial for my well-being. I have found that abstaining from food for even a single day provides a spiritually enriching experience. It changes my brain chemistry because the body replaces glucose with ketone bodies, altering hormones in a way that allows for a better connection with God. I even look forward to my fasting days, and although it’s hard to resist eating, it gets easier the longer you do it and the longer you haven’t eaten. My longest water fast (meaning I only consumed fluids) was two full weeks, or 14 days, without any breaks and without eating when the sun goes down-24 hours a day, every day. Currently, I fast for around 32 hours until I resume eating the next day. So, a full day and the night when I sleep. It might even be longer because I don't stop eating at midnight, and I don't start eating immediately after waking up. There is substantial research supporting the health benefits of fasting, such as improved metabolic health, enhanced brain function, and reduced inflammation. When done properly, fasting can be a safe and effective practice for both spiritual and physical well-being.

I am a remote English tutor and I would tutor kids during Ramadan last year and I never understood why so many small children would schedule lessons with me at midnight. They were always super cranky and wouldn’t focus on the lesson. I didn’t realize the poor babies were actually hungry and were waiting to eat their meal.

I'm a nurse, I often eat before sunrise skip lunch and have dinner after dark. Fasting = skipping lunch...who knew?

In my native country Muslims eat at 4am during Ramadan. The gluttony is unbelievable

You are hilarious these videos are factual yet entertaining at the same time😂

When ramadan begin you literally see Islamic food ads you never see the other times of the year 😭

I lived 25 years in Saudi Arabia and you sure it Ramadan on the head! I was laughing the whole time!

I made the mistake of suggesting perhaps an advantage of Ramadan is weight loss. My Muslim friends said no, they usually don't lose weight but often gain weight during Ramadan. How strange!

Many Catholics actually do fasting during Lent with Wednesday and Friday being restricted to water and plain bread. But the degree of fasting and what you fast from is for you to decide as you are purely offering it up to the Lord.

Hahaha I love the content combined with the outro where "they're proud of that!" Cheers from Sweden 😂

This video should receive an Emmy award!! lol. Pure genius and creativity. Very entertaining and educational. Well done!!

This man is unbelievably talented. Someone give him an Emnmy already!

being an Orthodox christian in Indonesia im really familiar with this islam practice of fasting, i still can't believe they call it fasting. as an Orthodox Christian, i fast too. And most of us christians practice strict fasting. Can't believe how easy it is to "fast" for Muslims. Btw, here in Indonesia (the largest Muslim majority country in the world), for every ramadhan they demand every non muslim here to not go eat in front of them, they demand every food court, restaurant and all kind of food businesses to close during the ramadhan. i remember some of them muslims burned a restaurant down just because the owner would open the restaurant on ramadhan. lol and their fasting practice is actually easy.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. These are great stuff you are making. Thanks a lot.

This is new information ty.

As a Christian woman, living in an Arab/muslim country with a Muslim family. I bear witness that this is so accurate. The month where everyone is just thinking about what to eat for Iftar (breaking fast time) Where everyone ends up So stuffed for the great amount of food on the table. The month when NO one sleeps because they just spend the whole night eating. And still during day time they feel so "proud" of their fasting.

I'm Jewish by birth. There are 6 fasting days in the Jewish calendar (I had to google), the most famous is Yom Kipur. Most people struggle to fast for 24 hours from sunset to sunset (which is why sick people are exempt), so I've always struggled to comprehend how Muslims do it for a MONTH without dropping off the twig. Thank you David for explaining this so eloquently :)

Very funny. But, having worked in Saudi Arabia for 5 years in the 1970s, you are spot on. Binge all night, sleep all day.

Some interesting information that I hadn't heard about,thanks

This video is so funny, had me laughing throughout. I'm an ex-Muslim who "fasted" on Ramadan for many years of my life. Until this moment it never occured to me what a joke the whole idea even was. Technically we were skipping one meal in the day while slightly changing the time of the other two meals and making up for the calorie deficit of the skipped meal during the other two meals. Come to think of it I've been fasting more as an ex-Muslim than I was as a Muslim since I regularly skip a meal in my day to prevent weight gain.

I fast for 3 days every 30 days, all I consume for those 3 days is water. This is not for religious purposes but for my health as it helps to reset my auto-immune system and calm down my allergies/intolerances. It is pretty easy for me to do now, in fact the hardest thing is starting to eat normally after the 3rd day as I have to build up slowly and don't get back to my normal consumption until about day 6. I certainly couldn't gorge for 30 days although I wouldn't find it hard to go without food between sunrise and sunset as I generally don't eat lunch anyhow. Going without water would be much harder. I am aware of the morning and evening feasts as my neighbours are a Muslim family from Afghanistan and during Ramadan they eat in the garden and are still outside eating until the early hours and at weekends they are out all night. One of my friends lives in what has become a mainly Muslim area and even young children are still playing out in the street until 3 or 4am during Ramadan.

I would love it if David did a video like this every Ramadan: seeing a lot of food in one place is satisfying.

I’m a Christian and love Ramadan it’s feasting time. But this time their Ramadan has come same time as lent so can’t really indulge in eating meat. Bur definitely true Muslims have many delicacies during Ramadan called iftikar

Oh David! This is by far your funniest video ever. I’m going to have to re-watch whenever I have a bad day! 🤣

I was in Egypt during Ramadan in a summer month (longer days) and all the smokers would be frantically checking their watches toward sunset, awaiting the moment they could start chain smoking all night… I was less worried about getting killed by a random bombing “martyr” than by a smoker snapping & “going postal” on me!

This is so good 😂😂 didn’t know that! Great video… love the slips

Just subbed! Great work, keep it up!

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Sorry to hear about the health struggles of your sons. May God be with you, and your family.

Your video should be shown in every school in Europe

This channel is an eye opener to people who wants to learn about Islam and blind muslims followers. Hope it's done in all languages.

"They gorge themselves, all night, sleep, get up and gorge themselves again, take a nap and then gorge themselves and go back to sleep." I had no idea how close to a convert to Islam I've been... Too many times in my life to admit.

My first encounter with you, and you are spot on. It is not just ramadan but not exepting others for what they are. Thank God I am not Islamic.

When I married into islam and saw how much food was eaten during ramadan- all i could do was laugh 🤣 I couldn't fast due to medications, but still lost weight 😂 i ate very little during the day to respect the fast, ate a normal sized dinner at iftar, and went to bed. Not what my husbands family did 😂 i got yelled at for eating so little 😂

When I was working in the UK one time during the ramadan one muslim was sitting under the table eating his lunch because under the table God dont see him. This people are crazy.

Last 30 seconds.. whoa .. salute.. you nailed it for entire humanity there

My friend a mother of 3 is Muslim during Ramadan she starts cooking as soon as she wakes, and makes enough food to feed 10/12 all tasty foods lamb stews rice breads and desserts I’ve seen the gorging; and what ever they didn’t eat they gave to a neighbour. the amount of food she made is atrocious considering the amount of starving in the world ! Mohammed certainly did make a religion of anti self control!

I've Always exposed this insanity, Ramadan is simply rearranging meal times. I work from 6am -6pm five days a week and don't eat anything during the day, therefore my whole working life is a Ramadan.

Living in Pakistan I bear witness to his each and every word

That one of the most entertaining whimsical and accurate description of Ramadan I have ever seen. Pls keep doing what you are doing, shedding the light of Jesus Christ on the darkness of Islam is the best thing a Christian can do for his fellow man. Many Blessings.

David Wood is still my favourite RU-vidr ever.

During my postgraduate studies, I chose to join my Muslim friends in observing Ramadan by fasting alongside them. For the first three days, I limited myself to only drinking water. For the rest of the month, I ate only once a day and reduced my food portions. Throughout this period, I kept my fasting a secret from almost everyone, except my roommate, who knew because we attended the same classes and spent a lot of time together. By the end of the month, I had lost nearly 15 kilograms, while my roommate, who was aware of my fasting, ended up gaining an extra 9 kilograms.

Watching a loved one observe Ramadan and pass out in public was one of the things that made me start to become really anti Islam

Do they stay up all night because Allah doesnt hear their prayers during the day?

I've always wondered how you can fast after eating breakfast 😂

Wait... So you're telling me that Ramadan is just a far more unhealthy version of intermittent waterless fasting? My dad has been doing Ramitdown for years due to his job!

What I like about my brother David is he is knowledgeable about Islam and does not buy into their “ better be afraid of us cause we will get you”! Truth always brings out thee worst in liars !

You are an eye opener,100 percent true,keep the good work.

Ramadan reminding me every year that its a practice of one of the unholiest religions ever

As harsh and sarcastic as this video is, I must agree that it feels accurate. I don't consider myself to be part of any specific religion, but I was always quite interested in fasting and made great experiences, when I did it alone. I mainly did water fasting, taking my last meal on Saturday evening, only drinking water during sunday and eat a LIGHT meal again on Monday morning. I felt fantastic with it and similarly with intermittent fasting as well. Only eating once per day, for a longer period of time, mostly when the sun is still up, felt great. But... Then I was on vacation in a Muslim majority country and during ramadhan i was quite excited, because I heard about how "hard" it is to participate and as someone with some experiences in fasting, I thought this may be an amazing challenge. But what I experienced was just... bad. I don't even have a different word for it. Only eating when the sun is down significantly slowed down my metabolism. Pair that with the ridiculous amounts of food people were asking me to eat and I had digestive problems pretty much every 2-3 days. I was going back and forth between diarrhea and congestion. My body was sending me ALL the signals, that this is not a sustainable way to eat, so my body literally forced me to stop doing that. I couldn't keep it up, because it felt like if i continue, I will get serious health problems. So, I adjusted the fasting a bit. I ate a relatively big meal in the evening, after the sun went down, went to sleep like usual, got up around 3am to only drink a glass of water and then wait until evening again for the bigger meal. Only then I felt like it was benefiting me. Once i did that, I felt good. Sadly this experience completely shattered my expectation of what ramadhan is about. Especially all this crying out online, that it is "so hard to fast". If you do it in an unsustainable way, then of course it is hard. But for all the wrong reasons. What is even more sad is that prior to ramadhan a Muslim explained to me, that part of the reason they fast is so that they stay humble. Not indulging into your desire to eat makes you feel compassionate for those you have little to eat, because of poverty. I liked that perspective a lot, but after taking part in ramadhan myself, I can't help myself but think of this as hypocrisy.

The food you show has me so hungry right now 😢

You never fail to fail
