realsomeone - I'm interested to know if some Muslims (especially children) have forgotten the true meaning of Ramadan, in the same way that for some Christians Christmas has become commercialised and just an excuse for a party. I heard that people really look forward to Ramadan because they work less hours and get to party every night at different iftars, and that the monetary gifts given to children are becoming ridiculously large. Interested to hear your thoughts on it.

btw, for what it's worth I have no problem observing the rules during Ramadan, we're guests in a Muslim country after all.
