Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to Britain

During the Ramadan period, every Muslim are refrain from bickerings, quarrels, doing nuisance, evil thoughts against his brethren, or commit even petty crime. What every Muslim should do is to pray to ALLAH, think of the good things ALLAH has given us, think of the good things for his fellowmen and avoid doing evil things against our brethren,"

So where exactly does protesting fit into the busy prayer and fasting regime of Ramadan, I wonder. Because today in Tehran, thousands of Iranians took time from their "thinking of good things for his fellowman" to march(and chant).

Here's some of their Islamic brotherhood and peace for you!

"Nuclear science is our right, and the world has accepted that," and "Death to America, death to Israel and death to Great Britain," some shouted.

"The U.S. is our enemy" and "suspending again our nuclear activity is an impossibility, because it is a sign of our independence," others proclaimed.

As if you needed any more reasons why the Iranians shouldn't have nukes. Read it all here.

And while the men are taking care of business in Omani, the women are marching to a different tune. Omani women walk to fight "Ramadan Spread"
MUSCAT: Draped in black robes, Omani women go for walks each evening during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan to avoid putting on too much weight during the night-time feasts that follow each dawn-to-dusk fast. The trend comes amid findings that up to as much as 70 percent of women in Gulf Arab states are overweight.
