Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan
By Claudia Joseph Last updated at 22:24pm on 14th October 2006

The 2012 London Olympics have been plunged into controversy by the discovery that the Games will clash with Ramadan, the most holy month in the Islamic calendar.

The clash will put Muslim athletes at a disadvantage as they will be expected to fast from sunrise to sunset for the entire duration of the Games.

In 2012, Ramadan will take place from July 21 to August 20, while the Olympics run from July 27 to August 12.

An anticipated 3,000 Muslim competitors are expected to be affected.

Moslems do not have to participate in the Olympics anyway. The Olympics are a celebration of Christian civilization. Moslems add nothing to the celebrations.

Most Moslem athletes are terrible. They usually finish last in their event. They will not be missed.

Laura Bush once praise some Afgan women who finished last in the 100 meters wearing long pants. She said they competed while wearing clothes that were respectful of their culture.

Misty May and Kerry Walsh wore clothes that were respectful of their culture and won the gold in woman's beach volleyball. Lets give western athletes some respect.
