Christians Fasted Long Before Muhammad, P.B.U.H.

Orthodox Deacon Steven Hayes reports "that a number of evangelical Christians have 'rediscovered' fasting by observing the Muslim fast of Ramadan" — A Christian Ramadan? I agree that Muslims "would see [this] as the obvious gimmick that it is."

While living in Malaysia, my Muslim friends compelled me to rediscover both fasting and regular prayer, but instead of appropriating their religion, I learned more about my own, and eventually became Catholic.
