Muslims who are fasting get a 5% boost to their marks at GCSE? Is this true

Then why are Muslims who fast allowed to get paid whilst not working during Ramadan? The other employees have to pick up their workload whilst Muslims get paid for nothing, all because they forbid themselves from buying a cheese sandwich and a bottle of water. In Islamic countries Christians aren't even allowed to celebrate Christmas. You have to be kidding me

That is a completely fair view. The civilians of Islamic countries are the most racist on earth, look at statistics and surveys produced.

Listen, I don't disagree with what you're saying but you have to realise that some of these Muslim countries are still living in the past with ideals akin to those of the crusades, but there are various Muslim democratic countries where discrimination is nowhere near as much such as Pakistan, Turkey and Sudan and each of these countries have religious buildings available to most religions. This proves to me that its the system of the country that leads to severe discrimination and not always religion since there are other Muslim countries capable of collaborating with people of other faiths.

No, its actually 100% boost. As Allah is guiding them.

ultimately yes, put like that fasting seems a little selfish. But then you have to consider that these people have been brought up muslim from an early age, so taught to believe that if they don't fast they'll be tortured and go to hell... so you can see why they fast (i'm an atheist, not muslim, but i do RS GCSE and am very interested in the subject!)

also, in saudi arabia the government may ban christmas because they're CORRUPT, not because they hate christians- who are tolerated in Islan because like Jews they are -people of the book.' anyhow- is it any different to Donald Trump saying he wants to ban muslims, or France banning the wearing of the hijab in schools...

It seems someone has an open mind Btw , islam is a flexible religion so fasting is compulsory after reaching puberty, and if you believe and god and the last prophet, then you should fast.'It has been prescribed to you as it was prescribed before you' - surah al bakarah. Islam does not force people who are ill or on a journey to fast, they are advised not to and to make it up on another day. As for going to hell- anyone can go to hell and anyone can go to heaven, that is totally up to god. There are narrations of the prophet (pbu) which say that there was a person killed 99 people, he went to a person of knowledge and asked what can i do for atonement. The person replied 'nothing'. The man killed him too. The person then went to another peron of knowledge and asked him the same question. This man replied to repent and go to a certain pleace. During his journey there, the man died. The angels were arguing whether to cast him in hell or heaven. God said meassure the land between him and his location and him and his starting point, if he is closer to the location then send him to heaven. God then told the earth to move him close to the location and he was forgiven.

Similarly, if a man sincerely repents and never does the sin again, his sins become deeds. God says - 'do not despair of my mercy'. So even sinners can go to heaven, infact 'every son of Adam (as) is a sinner'.

Sorry for the long extract.

i see your point, but i wouldn't exactly say Turkey is democratic when you consider how horrifically sexist it is to women and in Sudan there is FGM and arranged marriages in Pakistan. HOWEVER this is not to do with Islam, it's culture which they have viable reasons for i guess

Umm look at the numbers killed by Muslims. Over ten times higher than the next group in 2016. Please look at statistics

aha thats okay it's really interesting! oh so it's also luck a bit wether you go to heaven or hell i guess?!

There's no vialble reason for sexism and discrimination

I never said they were. I'm saying that Muslims kill the most people in this world, and that is undeniable.

well yes i 100% agree with you there. i hate how shari'a law is not equal for both genders, same with other religions. i hate how cultures force girls to marry 60 year old men at 12. but we can't say this is all due to Islam, there is a difference between culture and religion

Something i agree with! But keep in mind that having everything equal is not having everything fair so for women and men and children things should be done differently.

I completely disagree that men and women should do things 'differently'. Why can't you have women in the army or a female politician?

Hi,

Some students told me, as I am Muslim, that those Muslims who fast will get a 5% boost to their marks as extra to accommodate the fact they are fasting? Is this true?

Edit:

Please, before you call me ignorant or other stuff which makes me go WTF, I wasn't hoping to get a 5% increase, I was asking just to see if it's true. 👍

Look up the Syrian civil war, ISIS etc and how many people they have killed. This far outnumbers any other group's' killings

Muslims have too much special treatment imo. If I went and lived in an Islamic country I'd be discriminated against and forbidden from practising my religion, or killed in extreme situations. Seriously to all Muslims in Europe, be extremely grateful for what you have here.

I already have a problem with that statistic, your looking at a civil war. Do you understand what that means? Maybe that outnumbers killings because there arent any civil wars happening at western countries. Innocent lives are being killed in civil wars and children are killing to save themselves. This isnt exactly a fair account.

The syrian war is an ongoing war with several interventions. This means other countries are joining in and are killing. The deaths however end up in the deaths of those killed in the civil war.

Look at WW1 and WW2. Look at those death figures. During that time not many Muslims were in Europe so is it fair to say that all those that got killed in those figures were Christians?
