Also irgendwas stimmt da doch nicht. Was haben die Hungernden in Somalia davon, wenn soundso viele Muslime tagsueber mit ihnen mithungern, abends dann aber Fressorgien veranstalten?
Uebrigens, bei meinen Eltern zuhause wurde so gut wie nie essen weggeworfen. Ich musste immer meinen Teller aufessen (was manchmal wirklich schon uebertriebene Zuege hatte, ich musste auch aufessen, wenn ich wirklich voll war und wenn ich dann noch eine Stunde am Essen sass). Dass Essen wegwerfen als nicht schlimm angesehen wird, habe ich erst bei Muslimen kennengelernt.
Sowas finde ich, und das meine ich ganz ehrlich, gotteslästerlich.

- Das muss auch so sein und ist eigentlich keine besonders gute Tat, sondern gehoert zum opfern dazu. Es nicht zu tun waere islamrechtlich gesehen eine Suende. Man soll vom Opfertier nur 1/3 behalten, 1/3 an Nachbarn verschenken und 1/3 an Beduerftige geben.Musafira hat geschrieben: *raeusper* - im Ramadan steigt in muslimischen Laendern der Lebensmittelkonsum (manche nehmen dafuer sogar Kredite auf!) und es wird tierisch viel weggeworfen.

Ramadan in Dubai: a month of soaring food waste?
...
Despite the hours of preparation put into the often vast displays of food, waiters at top hotels in Dubai say much of the food left over goes straight into the waste bins.
The amount of food thrown out in the emirate jumps considerably in the holy month - by as much as 20 percent according to Dubai Municipality, with most of the waste comprising rice and non-vegetable foods.
Around 1,850 tons of food were thrown out on average per day during Ramadan in 2010, roughly 20 percent of total waste in the emirate during the holy month, it said.
In neighboring Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, at least 500 tons of food were thrown out on a daily basis during the month Abu Dhabi-based daily the National reported in August last year.
“Hot and cold - all the food on the buffet gets thrown out,” said a waiter at a five star hotel in Dubai who gave his name only as Nazir, through fear of losing his job, as he went around topping up dishes on the iftar buffet, while businessmen hovered around him, eyeing the vast spread of food on offer.
“If people order room service then we’ll make it fresh again. But sometimes we have a lot of waste,” Nazir said.
...
The large increase in food waste during the holy month has drawn criticism from religious scholars who say that it goes against the spirit of fasting.
“Wasting the blessing of Allah, like food, particularly at a time when you see people starving in Ethiopia, Somalia and other places, does not fit in the Islamic notion of moderation. God says in the Koran that those who waste the blessing of God, they are the brethren of the devils,” said Sheikh Muddassir Siddiqui, an Islamic scholar in Dubai.
Ramadan more feasting than fasting at Dubai’s hotels
... It’s a well-known fact: The eyes are bigger than the stomach. The head waiter at the iftar of a five-star hotel on Shaikh Zayed Road talks about his never-ending surprise at the amounts of food people pile onto their plates at a buffet.
“A lot of our diners eat with their eyes. They feel the need to indulge in a little bit of everything the buffet offers. And the dishes they particularly like, they serve themselves fairly large portions. As a result, people walk around with little heaps of food on their plates and then go about eating less than 50 per cent of that amount.
Naturally, all the food left over on a person’s plate makes its way straight to the trash bins. With over 100 diners each day wasting 50 per cent of what’s on their plate, combined with the wastage of what’s left over from the buffet trays, the amounts of food we throw away daily are shocking.
“An entire neighbourhood of impoverished fasters could feast on that amount,” says the Moroccan waiter.
...
Although there are no figures available for Dubai, the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi released figures in August 2010 showing that approximately 500 tonnes of food gets thrown away in the capital during Ramadan, prompting Abdul Nasser Al Shamsi, Executive Director of EAD, to say that “the amount of food wasted, especially during Ramadan, is totally unacceptable”.
According to official statistics, one third, or 34 per cent, of the waste generated in the UAE comprises discarded food.
...
The operations manager of a five-star hotel told XPRESS that compared to the rest of the year, during Ramadan the amount of food wasted goes up by 25 to 30 per cent. “Although it doesn’t look too shocking when disposing of the contents of a dish into the bin, adding up all those dishes at the end of the night translates to a trash bin overflowing to the brim. The amounts of food wasted are contradictory to the conservative nature of the month,” he says.
Diners at an iftar on the first day of Ramadan agree. “It’s a month of extravagance disguised as a month of quiet reflection,” says D. Tsaring. “If people are so restrictive during the day, what happens to them at night? The same person who fasts during the day turns into a food-consuming monster at night,” says Jane A.
Dr Ahmad Al Kubaisi, a prominent Islamic scholar, says about the uncontrolled excesses in a month of spiritual cleansing. “Islam says to eat moderately, not gorge on food. Ramadan is a spiritual month of reflection and prayer, and to appreciate the blessings of life. One such blessing is food, and it should be consumed in moderation and with discipline.”
