I'm not a Muslim, but on this campus their is a growing minority of Muslims on this campus, particularly from Saudi Arabia, and I have become good friends with them, as has my sister and some other people I know.
And, as a Christian, I also believe in the principles of prayer, fasting and self-sacrifice for the sake of others and so that God can work through us. All of those principles seem to be reflected in the (Islamic) practice of fasting during Ramadan. A few of my friends from a Christian fellowship (about 20 or so of us) are considering joining with the Muslims on campus and fasting for Ramadan in support of them in addition to the reasons above.
Would my friends, who are Muslims find this offensive and hypocritical or mocking because we're not Muslims, but Christians? Or would they find it supportive and good that we decided to join in with them and support them during and for the fasting in Ramadan?
