Ramadan

Ramadan just started yesterday. Ramadan is the month were Muslims fast during the day. Usually when I think of fasting I think about just not eating food, but when Muslims fast during Ramadan they do not eat or drink during the day. Some don't even swallow their spit. A lot of the Christians will also fast for the first week to show respect to their Muslim neighbors. They also avoid eating or drinking in public during the day. Also most restaurants put up curtains or some sort of barrier so people can not see into them.
