D.C. Muslims Want Restaurants Open at 4 AM for Ramadan

Apr 25, 2019 6:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

Washington D.C. has a sizable Muslim population. And while Rep. Ilhan Omar has gotten a lot of attention, there are more Muslim aides and staffers than ever before.

Some of them would like D.C. restaurants to open at 4 AM.

Katherine Ashworth Brandt, a former congressional aide now studying political management at George Washington University who founded the campaign late last year, is urging Washington restaurants to expand their hours next month to accommodate Muslims celebrating Ramadan, the 30 days of fasting that begins May 5 this year for most Muslims.

“I want this to be a common business practice,” said Brandt, 34. “I want customers to be able to expect that places will be open when they need them during Ramadan.”

Restaurateurs participating in Dine After Dark would open around 4 a.m., to give Muslims two hours before sunup to eat before abstaining from food and drink for the rest of the day, or close around 10:30 p.m., about two hours after sunset, when observant Muslims break their fast.

For an eatery to open at 4 AM, the employees have to start work anywhere from 1 AM to 2 AM.

Making this Ramadan accommodation a common business practice would be expensive for employers and miserable for employees.

But, as usual a convenience issue for Muslims seems to trump the comfort and welfare of non-Muslims.

As an Orthodox Jew, we keep fasts certain times of the year. Some of them begin very early in the morning. We don’t expect places to open at 4 AM for our convenience. There’s a great deal of entitlement embodied in such an attitude.

Muslims in Washington D.C. don’t need to go out in the morning. They can prepare their own food ahead of time. Microwaves and toaster ovens make it easy to have a meal without expecting businesses to accommodate you or workers to go without sleep.

But instead, also as usual, an Islamic entitlement is portrayed as a civil rights issue.

Depending on their business models, some restaurants would expand both morning and evening hours. Two extra hours may not be enough to serve all Muslims’ needs, Brandt acknowledged, but it’s a start.

It’s never enough. Everything you give is only a starting point.

“All of us need to be more considerate of other people’s traditions and holidays and know that these are important no matter what religion you subscribe to,” she said

How about being considerate of employees earning minimum wage and having little enough time to spend with their children?

Consideration is never given to infidels. Only demanded from them.

        Yes, and the people who had to work at those restaurants while it was dark could then take the daylight hours off to sleep whereby they would hardly notice they were supposed to fast. They could just shift their schedule the way a bunch of marauders living in the desert would have done back in the time of Muhammad.

      Ah yes, but that would be too easy.
      They would rather everyone bend and accommodate them until everyone is fasting along with them… so as not to ‘offend’ them.
      Something anyone with a brain will never do.
      I do my thing and if they are offended, they are more than welcome to be!
      Ask me if I care!
      Do they tiptoe around so as not to offend me?
      I didn’t think so.

    Muslims’ demands are often laughable. Washington D.C. restaurants will not be opening at 4:00 a.m. to accommodate their latest Ramadan demands no matter how hard Muslims scream that it’s Islamophobic for infidels not being available to cook them their meals at 4:00 a.m. – they can act like adults and cook their own meals.

    • Marilyn Griffin says

      Apr 25, 2019 at 6:34 pm

      What is not laughable is that the majority of the time, Anerican leaders and businesses kowtow to the demands of muslims easily and quickly, thus giving the muslims greater power. ALL American leaders and businesses should stand their ground and refuse to make changes to please muslims. Muslims need to be told that this is the USA, we do not change to suit you, you must change to assimulate into our society if you wish to live here. But, alas, saying no to muslims, saying anything critical of them, even just disagreeing, is becoming something Americans are not allowed to do. A loss of our right to freedom of speech, while the muslims are free to say what they wish (somebody did something on 9/11) with no repercussions at all. We should pay attention to what has happened to England and stop heading down that path right now.

      Ramadan is one perfect example of the perversions Islam has given religious status to. No matter what but Islam has perverted most religious habits of other – true – religions.
      It starts of with the circumstance that the two other religions of the book write about the prophets to go into the open range to seek God. Mohamed went into a cave. Even a bat cave.

        Apr 26, 2019 at 5:04 pm

        SH, the price of food goes WAY UP during Ramadan in Muslim countries because people actually are eating MORE THAN NORMAL and the scarcity of product means that suppliers must charge more for it to bring it in quickly.

        Muslims get fatter during the supposed fast of Ramadan, because they are pigging out in rich feasts every night.

    How about purchasing/making some hummus and chips, stocking up on some halal foods, and making your own fuc*king meal plan for the month? Noooooo…urge restaurants to adjust hours as to accommodate a bizarre eating disorder ideology/practice.

    BTW…a don’t consider skipping lunch a “fast.” I do it everyday and don’t pig out in the morning or evening.

    On the rare occasion I want to indulge in a snack, I’ll just reach for a Slim-Jim…

    Buttlims want far more this. Far more. They want all the world 24/7.

    Deny it to them. Deny it all to them for they are so deserving of being denied.

    So sick of Islam and its demands—and grievances—and victim-oriented mentality—and lack of a true Golden Rule for all—and its support for INEQUALITY under the law wherever Islam dominates with non-Muslims being pure second-class citizens—and its animosity to, let’s see here, women’s rights (real women’s rights and not the fake women’s rights put forward by Mohammedans), fine pork products, beer, wine, martinis (this one is for you, Ashley)—death for apostasy—death for mocking or criticizing Mo’s creed, Mo himself or the wretched, almost unreadable, Koran—and so on and so forth.

    Screw Islam. In DC. Across America. Throughout the West. Throughout the world. Oh, let it survive as a testimony to the folly which man is capable of. But never pay it any respect and never cave to its demands.

    Can only hope diners in DC that are open at 4 A.M. during Ramabutt will serve only bacon and scrapple along with mimosas till daylight. A beautiful thought I would argue and a tasty one.

      Maybe it’s just that with the arrogance of being “the best of peoples” comes the notion of not being in the “working class”. That was the idea of Jizzya, right? Getting those restaurant workers out of bed at 2AM to serve Muslimas at 4AM is another expression of Islamic superiority. Do you wonder if Muslims trade jokes that have “Dhimmi” in the punchline?

      Wait a minute! Maybe the demand for 4AM restaurants is because Muslimas are getting woke and telling the hubby to get his own d–n breakfast. If Islam ever changes it will be because the women have had enough of it.

    Katherine Ashworth Brandt, do you understand English? If so, then this should be easy peasy: Go soak your moslim head. You, kab…said; ““All of us need to be more considerate of other people’s traditions and holidays”
    ************
    Well, get this: An old American “tradition” is….sleeping between the hours of midnight and daybreak.
    Many people who work in a restaurant, are parents. Many are older. And all are less than “wealthy.”
    They also all need sleep more than you need to be stuffing your face at 4:00 a.m.
    They also all need to get off their tired feet more than you need to be gorging yourself at 10:30 p.m.

    You “want” to eat at four and then go back to your spiffy little abode and sleep until you have to get up for work. Then, you want to go out to eat in the late evening instead of making a meal for yourself.

    Get real. A restaurant would have to hire more staff…for a month’s worth of making dishes you moslims will gorge on…pig out…so you don’t have to cook. From 1 am to begin food prep….then serving at 4 and then more food prep for the normal, Considerate, people, who come in for breakfast, then food prep for lunch, and more food prep for the evening meal….and you “want” them there until you get through gorging …but they would have to stay until midnight to clean.

    Because you already stated “2 hours is a start.”

    If I owned a restaurant, I would close entirely for the month they pretend to fast and expect others to cater to their every whim and “want.” I would save up all year so I could afford a long vacation while they gorge their ugly persons.
    Some restaurants in Daytona close for weeks during the heaviest times because some of the customers from out of town are so very rowdy. There is Bike Week, Spring Break…that can be a long time due to different schools releasing at different times, and several other “Weeks” for special groups.

    The restaurants in D.C. should just close up for the month. If they can afford to and if their employees can afford it. If they cannot close, then serve only the “usual” foods…even if it’s ham, bacon, hog’s head cheese, pork chops, pork roast, pork steak, etc. And for shortened hours. Invent a “tradition.”

      “Prophet of Doom is the best-documented, most comprehensive, presentation of Islam’s five oldest and most reliable scriptural sources…When this evidence is evaluated systematically, the only rational conclusion is that Islam’s lone prophet was a ruthless terrorist, a mass-murderer, a thief, slave trader, rapist and pedophile.”

      After reading only sixty pages I’ve concluded *everyone* should be forced to read it. Unbelievable that modern-day people fancy they’re dealing with some kind of spiritual “cause” or religion when it’s so easy to learn and see that it’s based upon malicious claptrap that even the people of the 7th century could easily see through.

    They will need some food to get themselves fuelled for the JIHAD ATTACKS later on in the day.

    RAMADAN is the MONTH OF JIHAD … isn’t it, lebel ?

    This is america. Entrepreneurs should do that if there is business to be had. In fact it is a great niche for Muslims. They can open food stands. I can see helping them get licenses to sell food on the street early or food trucks. But pass a law or insist businesses be open??? No. During passover some foods are marked with a P, kosher for passover, in jewish areas, but this is just a good business practice to inspire good will with customers and get more customers. This “it’s all about me” attitude is for the birds.

    No one commented on the guy in the photo sporting a jihadi beard – all dressed up and ready to go. Take a good look and sear it into one’s hard drive. This is the uniform of North American orthodox islam. What will it take to finally ban islam from the planet in the name of preserving humanity, archaeology, children able to be children, vineyards, monogamy, civilization, the space program, innovation, the chance for peace, women’s rights, men’s rights (or do they want to wipe their rears with three pebbles?), black dogs, etc., etc., etc.
    ,The world can no longer endure the scourge of the ideology of islam.

    islam is the scourge of this plane(t)! There will never be peace on Earth with them here. They have never, in all history, assimilated to any culture. They are Murders, Conquerors and Destroyers of EVERYTHING they touch!

    The irony here is that the muslims aren’t even demanding this. The lovely dhimmi is doing it for them. “Brandt, who isn’t Muslim herself…” She will make a fine wife #4 someday.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 26, 2019 at 12:29 am

      Important point, CJ. More repulsive dhimmitude.

    • andra says

      Apr 26, 2019 at 9:58 am

      And These dhimmis are dangerous for free societies. That is just the way it works in Europe. The islamophiles demand the extras for Islam, the muslims need not to do so. And by that it is more difficult to fight back. More and more People prefer giving in, because they do not want to be called islamophobes or be brandmarked as racists, espreccially small businesses will have to watch out.
      Just take a closer look, one of the next steps referring to Ramadan will be that they demand ALL cantenes to be closed for the 30 days – especcially in schools, so that the Muslims get not tempted. As soon as that is more or less fulfilled they demand that nobody eats or drinks during the day out on the Streets or in the parks. At least that is the European way.

    I began my auspicious(?) teaching career in the wonderful city of Bradford (UK) when it was still British (but quickly becoming contaminated). I didn’t know the first thing about islam and I was quite mystified by the nocturnal hulabaloo from the muslim-occupied house next door to my flat at ‘that’ certain time of year, which actually disturbed me quite a lot. The problem with Bradford is that it’s actually quite a long way north and the sky doesn’t really get completely dark in the summer months, so our Friends of the Merciful and Omnipotent Prophet would have problems the later Ramadan occurs. It would be interesting to see if they have restaurants open between 10.00 pm – 3 am in that part of the world, but even more interesting to see what happens in the north of the Islamic Republic of Sweden, which must be very near (if not in) the Arctic Circle.

    Apr 26, 2019 at 4:24 am

    What a joke !! You call not eating during the day but stuffing your face with food at night fasting???? Get real and truly fast by not eating for ALL of Ramadan

  33. Joe says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 5:27 am

    So restaurants have to open early for the Ramadan Rage? Since the owners are not Muslim, then the Muslim are ordered to blow the place to pieces. If they don’t do that, they are ordered to hate the non-Muslims who open early for them. Muslims are instructed to be disrespectful of others traditions. They attack the homes, churches, and businesses of non-Muslims. You have to wonder why a non-Muslim would be respectful to a Muslim.

  34. Niemoller says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 5:53 am

    Islamic economics means it’s possible with enough threatening and coercion to intimidate non-muslim restaurant owners into opening their doors at 4 a.m. even if they lose a lot of money and hurt their employees.

    Islamic economics is why Islamic states dominate the lists of worst nations in the world.

  38. windrush48 says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 7:31 am

    Flooding our “government” with muslims is no different than if we had flooded our government with Nazis during WW2, with Russians during the ‘Cold War’, or with Viet Cong during the Viet Nam ‘conflict’.

    • Reziac says

      Apr 26, 2019 at 10:35 am

      We DID flood our government and other institutions with communists during the Cold War. That’s why we’re in the fix we are today… and the Muslim Brotherhood stepped seamlessly into the KGB’s vacated shoes.

      Hie yourself to Youtube and watch Yuri Bezmenov’s lectures.
      Then watch Stephen Coughlin’s briefs (linked from the header on vladtepesblog.com) and note how neatly the two systems of infiltration dovetail.
      I’d also suggest Stefan Molyneux’s “Truth about Joseph McCarthy” and note how high the rot went.

    I do not know if they are still in business but several years ago there use to be a 24 hour bbq restaurant that had a standing FREE meal offer for Muslims. Just to show that they were not islamophobic and welcomed muslims.

    A big pork BBQ sandwich and an ice cold beer.

    But seriously last time I was in DC most restaurants in the area seemed to serve some type of alcohol. Doesn’t a restaurant simply offering alcohol for sale make the restaurant haram for muslims?

    And I won’t even get into the issues if an atheist or a jew or a wiccan or a gay male atheist that self identifies as a jewish wiccan priestess were to prepare and/or serve the meals.

    • Reziac says

      Apr 26, 2019 at 10:36 am

      Remember to follow proper Islamic practice, and spit in meal as you prepare it.

    Does anyone believe that this is something that needs to be done…No! It’s just another thing that is part of the “muslim plan” and if these eateries cave in to this then they should be snubbed by the public st large.
    Of course the way things are going today this will be set up as a regular thing for Ramadan for now and always….STUPIDITY BREEDS STUPIDITY!

    My shop is in DC and we do close at 8 PM most nights. After I heard about this gentleman’s request I decided to begin keeping the shop open until 6am. Why not?
    It’s good buisuness I hope.

    Feel free to stop in and grab a bite.

    “Katherine Ashworth Brandt … is urging” — that’s fine with me, but watch for the next step: a DC law REQUIRING restaurants to open at 4.

  47. Terra Nova says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 1:24 pm

    Yes, that is how the Governments will behave, and if not, muslims will cry, and after that they will forbid normal citizens to eat in the day time, and after that they go out for killing us, that is always what they do if they don’t get their demands. Religion of peace, no, of superiority, killing and raping and of thousand years backward.
    Let them open their own restaurants and slave for themselves, they won’t, because they don’t want to work, so they will insist that we do it for them and Pelosi and het consorts will allow it. How Muslims try to draw out fear, they feed of negative energy.

    Hitler did the same, he used to call on negative forces. I try not to be negative, but it is hard most of the times.
    Try to keep positive, all thoughts are energy forces, so it is better not to have negativity, if the whole world would send out positivity for one day all together, it would be really good.In that sense it is good, if you send out the bad, it will fall back on you, if you send out positivity and love too, it is good for everybody, but stay aware all the time, and good comes back too.

    Around 3% of Washington’s population is Muslim, according to the Public Religion Research Institute. But from Richmond to Baltimore, the greater Washington area has some of the most active Muslim communities in the country.

  49. John Brock says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 3:22 pm

    Is this a LAW???!!!! If not, a restaurant, unless it is a chain, is an INDEPENDENT BUSINESS, who makes its own hours, and is NOT obligated to do WHAT THE MUSLIMS WANT!!!! Also, if they are “fasting” they don’t NEED restaurants to be open, right

  50. DHazard says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 4:14 pm

    Of course Muslims have alternatives so why demand this? Because Muslims want it to appear to the rest of the World that the U.S. is Islam’s “bitch”. World dominance was Muhammad’s favorite wet dream so he built it into his religion.

    Restaurants open early as 4.00 am should add oversized amount of salt/sugar into drinks and food.

    Hey, can we get someone to be a spokesperson for pregnant women? He/she could tell all restaurant owners that they should stay open 24/7 to accommodate the cravings that occur at all hours. Shouldn’t they be considerate of expectant mothers?

  54. gravenimage says

    Apr 26, 2019 at 6:11 pm

    As you can imagine, I stand with Daniel Greenfield. Not because he is a Jew but because he is a rational man.
    If All Men Are Created Equal, then no man can or should set the terms for his fellow on how to live his life.

    May I also add the following to Greenfield’s sound argument?
    How about being considerate of our fellow men? Tolerant? Instead of Intolerant? How about accepting that each one of us is among millions of people on Earth and have no right to make demands upon others?

    I demand you eat fish on Fridays! Not that I’m Catholic, it just seems right. It’s what the public school I went to in NYS used to serve every Friday – fish sticks. I demand you eat, not just fish, but fish sticks. Every Friday. Tartar sauce the only condiment.

    Wait…. so they fast only during the DAY time but “pig” out at night?
    Sounds like a normal busy day for most of us…. why are they “special”? Hit the drive thru at Jack in the box for some mini churros, or a Bacon Burger… best stuff at 4 am.
