Blazer keeps Muslim faith

great article.

when you look at the things he says about his faith and what his faith teaches him, you realize that the ahem, moral values set has its head up its collective ass. (event though that's sodomy, and they don't support that kind of thing.)

ok. back to the escape of Halo 2.

Blazer keeps Muslim faith: "Abdur-Rahim, a devout Muslim, is in the midst of a monthlong fasting period when Muslims concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their everyday lives. Ramadan -- named after the ninth month of the Muslim calendar -- ends next Monday. ...

Since Oct. 15, Abdur-Rahim has abstained from food, water and sex during daylight hours, while spending longer hours reading the Quran. All while doing his normal five daily sessions of praying to Allah.

There are several purposes for fasting: reminding one of the suffering of the poor; self-control; and cleansing the body and mind. But the Quran says the good acquired through a fast is destroyed by five things: Telling a lie. Slander. Denouncing someone behind his back. Taking a false oath. Or greed. "
