During the Islamic month of Ramadan, Muslims are forbidden to eat or drink anything from sunrise until sunset. As you might expect, they can get a bit cranky if they sleep through breakfast and have to go without food or drink until the sun goes down. But the following seems like a bad way to deal with their low blood sugar.
A refugee camp in Germany was burned down by migrants amid claims they were angry they had not received a wake-up for Ramadan breakfast, it has been reported.
The large fire ripped through the centre – home to 280 refugees – completely levelling the hall in the western German city of Dusseldorf on Tuesday…
According to the German newspaper Express, two Moroccans living at the centre said Iranian security staff at the facility had ‘deliberately’ not woken those observing Ramadan ahead of their scheduled breakfast time…
Police and prosecutors said one of the two 26-year-olds was seen pouring flammable liquid onto a mattress and setting fire to it, while the other told fellow residents: ‘We had to do it so that things change.’
Yep, that’ll definitely change things. No refugee center, no food, no problem!
Speaking of wake-up calls, maybe this will serve as one for Angela Merkel. But probably not. If hundreds of sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve and the now-commonplace Islamic terror attacks throughout Europe haven’t woken her up, why would she care about one teensy-tiny refugee center burning down?
I blame white Christians for this. I’m not sure why, but it seems like a safe bet.
As always, the real victims here are Muslims. Who will take in the refugees from the burned-down refugee center? And how do we avoid offending any of them so that this doesn’t happen again? How do we show them our gratitude for giving us the opportunity to cater to their every whim?
Sorry, Muslims. Somehow we always manage to disappoint you.
