Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan

The 2012 London Olympics have been plunged into controversy by the discovery that the Games will clash with Ramadan, the most holy month in the Islamic calendar.

The clash will put Muslim athletes at a disadvantage as they will be expected to fast from sunrise to sunset for the entire duration of the Games.

In 2012, Ramadan will take place from July 21 to August 20, while the Olympics run from July 27 to August 12.

An anticipated 3,000 Muslim competitors are expected to be affected.

The words that come out of your mouth belong to a language, unless your banging your keyboard in desperation, now, thats just universally understood! LANGUAGES. Yes, that has been a topic that has occupied some, not all, of our conversations on Tribune. We all speak different languages and there are approximately 6909 languages that are currently spoken worldwide and Mandarin tops the league board! So, how many languages can you speak, read, write or understand? What is your favourite language and why? If you were given the opportunity to learn a new language, which one would you choose? Imagine everyone spoke the same language? That would make our world a less interesting place, for sure!

Just wondering if anyone actually stays awake after fajr. In my area, fajr is prayed at 4.00am and i normally crawl back into bed and wake up at 8ish. But I read an article about increasing productivty if you stay awake after Fajr and it really inspired me to do so, but at 5am i couldn't stay awake!!

Boiy, Mubarak's received his well earned life sentence!

His time was finally over. I think that was the best decision the court must've made in its history! Lets hope it sends out a clear message to his sons and his followers! Bless the victims and their relatives for celebrating through setting off fire crackers!

I didn't really think it was common in the UK! Why do men continue to mistreat woman?

Women in their early 40s should be given access to IVF on the NHS, draft guidelines for England and Wales recommend.

NICE says the current age limit of 39 should be raised to 42 for women who have no other chance of conceiving.

The draft, which updates 2004 guidance, suggests other new groups who should be eligible for treatment.

They include same-sex couples and people facing cancer treatment who wish to preserve their fertility
