Al Fadi and his guests continue to discuss the month of fasting; Ramadan.  They talk about how did they explained to westerners why were they fasting.  How they liked to brag of doing it for God, and made sure everyone knew that they were fasting.  They explain how Mohammad took traditions from pagan Arabs and Jews on fasting . They say the ultimate reason for fasting was the forgiveness of sins not getting closer to God. They ask these questions of Muslims: Why are you fasting? And who asked you to fast?
