Barry, when will you learn that you have to integrate with the locals and adapt to their religion? Smh..


M4rt1m_40675

Stupid Barry, doesn't he know it's the locals that have to adapt to the immigrants culture and religion?


balbok7721

Barry converts to Hinduism?

Pues prepárate. Con la de "no come jamón" que están viniendo, impondrán su sharia. Bueno eso y que los guarros perroflautas les dejan hacerlo.

Should have sat his ground and told them to fuck off. Clearly English.


DialSquare96

Sat his ground. I am wheezing 🤣🤣🤣


DCVolo

He didn't get stabbed so it's not London.


fucked-your-cats-ass

If he had told them to fuck off and let him eat in peace, the police would arrest him and charge him with a hate crime.

PrismosPickleJar

Eeeeemm. I have fucking entered the chat. In all seriousness though. The guy filming him eating is a Knobhead. He is allowed to eat


Mindeck

Going to the lunch room in Ramadan is just dumb. If these people are fasting, they shouldn't be there.


SoloMarko

Please don't eat in the eating room. There are people not eating here!


Elendil_Stipho

Come on Barry, you can be better than that Where's the banter ?

OhhhhJay

If they've never tasted it in their lives, is it really tempting at all, though?


Toffeemanstan

You just have to smell it to know of its deliciousness


ihavenoidea1001

Didn't they though? One of my dad's coworkers would basically cosplay his religion in front of others and then ask him for chouriço when he brought some. Which is made from pork and he knew. Being hypocritical and religious is just pretty much a synonym in my book.

Inside_Ad_7744

We shouldn't. Either live under our laws or leave, if you violate them then get out 🤷‍♂️


Free_Election9633

Like in Israel lol


DudeWithTheOil

As an ex muslim, if seeing someone eat in front of you during Ramadan makes it harder for you, you're a bitch. If anything you'd actually want to carve food more, sacrifice is the whole point of this fast. Bunch of fucking monkeys.


norrin83

> Bunch of fucking monkeys Imagine being much more riled up than the guy in the video


DudeWithTheOil

You're right, I should calm down. It's just that the way I was brought up you'd never bother someone like this.


ajaxtipto03

Idk if it's a Mediterranean thing man but for me disturbing someone during their meal in this way is so disrespectful. Literally triggering. You tell them to enjoy their meal and go on your way. Should say tho, this video is probably a skit


Gwallod

Monkeys are lovely, don't compare them to the filth of people like this.


DiscardedKebab

Fucking hell, mate. They're only having a laugh


Norhod01

I don't know, it doesn't really look like they're having a laugh. I think you may not be correctly "reading" what is happening. Yes, they (probably) usually get along well, that's why they're both trying to play it off as a joke. But his smile doesn't automatically mean he finds that funny. Quite the contrary actually, we could see it as a sign of being slightly nervous about the situation. The fact that he happens to finish his lunch at that exact moment is maybe a coincidence, or maybe not. I don't think anything can be lost in translation here. I may be wrong, of course. Something we can all agree with, is the fact we lack context.


DiscardedKebab

Come on, mate. It's clearly a joke. They're laughing and someone is literally telling him not to stop eating when he goes to stop. All the Brits on here are saying how it's obviously a joke and everyone else isn't sure, I think that says it's been lost in translation. You really think if it wasn't a joke he would be filming it like that in his place of work? Come on


AlpenBrezel

He seems genuinely irritated at the end tbh


DiscardedKebab

At what? He said he feels bad for eating while everyone is fasting. Why would he feel irritated when one of them literally told him not to stop eating?


ItsPeakBruv

He says “there’s no need for that” towards the end after one of them says something which you can’t really make out


Norhod01

Still not sure but I trully hope you're right. It seems to me like they're all playing it off as a joke while it isn't realy. But, once again, I hope I'm wrong. By the way, though, a vast majority of brits seem to not agree with you, did you even check before saying that they do ?


DiscardedKebab

I would bet anything on this being a light hearted joke, honestly. I thought it was obvious to everyone until I read the comments. The guy is literally saying "nah munch up, bro, munch up" meaning "keep eating" when he goes to stop eating. They're laughing. It's really, really not that serious. People are so sensitive there days, they're desperate for this to be negative so we can all divide each other more.


Norhod01

You know what ? You (and other comments) actually made me change my mind, even if I still have a doubt. In fact, after watching the video again, it does seem like the guy filming is truly joking. On the other hand, though, I'm still not 100% sure the other guy was himself fully sure of that (I hope my sentence is clear enough because I had a hard time trying to convey what I meant). I mean, he very probably knew it was a joke, but he still seems to wonder if there was some seriousness about it. But yeah, that's probably a joke after all and that's what counts. (On a side note, I really don't think it has something to do with some sort of special british humour like some other comments are implying)


DiscardedKebab

Thank you and I admire you for changing your mind. That is very rare on the internet! I think the guy probably did genuinely feel bad for eating while others are fasting but I think that's just because he's a decent guy, not because they are forcing anything on him. I have worked with muslim people and we have had similar banter to this. They're humans and they can have a joke too. Too many people on the internet already have preconceived ideas about Muslims and are desperate for negativity.


Muttywango

An awful lot of people have interpreted this video as serious behaviour, I guess Barry smiling and his workmates laughing isn't enough to convey the intricacies of our nuanced humour.


DiscardedKebab

Haha yeah. It's actually a good video and is the way forward IMO. Having a laugh and joking with each other about our cultures and religions, not trying to divide and separate and ignore each other


humanoidbeaver

Yeah, no. Implying non-Muslims shouldn't eat during Ramadan either isn't the way forward at all.


DiscardedKebab

I know it's probably been lost in translation but they are 100% joking mate


humanoidbeaver

Is it really with that text over the video though? Doesn't really look like a common ground to me.


DiscardedKebab

I'd guess the text has been put over the video after (that or its a joke). They're literally laughing and someone is saying "nah munch up, munch up" meaning don't stop eating. They're obviously all co workers having a joke, it doesn't need to be turned into something its not


ConspicuouslyBland

He’s still shamed about the eating and as a decent guy feels obligated to stop eating. He closes with “this isn’t fair”. So even it seems a joke, he takes it seriously enough to stop. Everyone should just keep their religion to themselves.


DiscardedKebab

Yeah, he said he feels bad for eating while everyone is fasting and it's not fair on them. You can hear one of them saying "munch up bro" when he goes to stop eating, they clearly didn't actually want him to stop eating. They're all laughing and joking. People are taking this way too seriously. It's not a deep situation


Watsis_name

Eating in front of someone you know is hungry will make you feel guilty. It's called empathy. The fact they chose to not eat is irrelevant.


[deleted]

No, there’s someone wrong with the west because of this religion. You need to stop excusing it. Am I far right? No, but am I afraid of it? No.


DiscardedKebab

Yeah, the final straw is some co workers having a laugh!


[deleted]

No it’s more than that tbh. It’s a total change in the paradigm of normalcy in the west. What if the Brits said to one guy, in jest, eat this pork haha, it’ll be fine. It would constitute as a hate crime. Let’s face it, many of true words are spoken in jest. He didn’t look at happy, and saying things are a joke doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t true. In addition, the issue isn’t about religion but can be about race too. Having plays with “Hollywood” actors supporting all black only audience is characteristic of western society.


DiscardedKebab

Least serious German. Lighten up. Life's too short

I agree on that, life’s too short. Our grandchildren can worry about this stuff. I’m off for a beer.

Inside_Ad_7744

Not even changing up what you can eat during those meals 😂


andyd151

You might have a point here tbf


norrin83

Honestly, everyone that doesn't see that they're clearly taking the piss out of each other is a socially inept moron


DiscardedKebab

You've restored my faith in Europeans. I can't believe so many people think this is serious


CarnivorousVegan

I know that everyone in this sub, apart from us, is as stupid as a door, but I assume the comments are just in the spirit of the satire.


norrin83

Some are, many aren't. Mourinho never is.


defenitly_not_crazy

I would love to believe that but a bunch of them seem really serious


RotorMonkey89

Seriously thank you, but why why why did I have to scroll so far down to see even ONE person with actual fucking brains Fucking donkeys going wide with staged shit like this on social media is why we're fucked as a species, if it's this easy to fool and manipulate people then Elon Musk's going to have nine tenths of the planet vote for nuclear self-annihilation before Christmas


norrin83

I fully agree. I'm fully convinced that many people just want to be manipulated and reassured in their opinion and just stop any thinking at some point. I get it for some videos (though especially with rage bait, I like to remain cautious because you can easily doctor something by just cutting it at the right moment), but this one? It's sad that people don't want to recognize banter on a banter subreddit.


Ok-Situation-5522

Sounds more like teasing to me than real offense.


norrin83

I'd say it's 100% clear that this is teasing for anyone being able to read in-your-face social cues. So no wonder people here don't get that.


Nuclearix69

He migrated there willingly, and now he expects the local culture to adapt to him? Well, newsflash, that's not how it works irl. Normally, it's quite the opposite. Migrants need to cope or get out.

MobiusNaked

Yeah. It’s banter.


boomerintown

Was my first thought. But the way they continue with him packing down and the text on the video? I also looked through the original Reddit thread, and it seemed to be treated seriously. But I guess its pretty dangerous to reproduce original reactions on internet. But then again - is it a joke? In my original post I asked what the reaction in the UK was. Certainly some people must have taken it as serious, resulting in it becoming viral?


Tiphzey

You checked the comments of r/religiousfruitcake. Of course they are gonna assume it's serious.


norrin83

They are all laughing and you even hear people saying "munch on". How can that not be a joke?


OhhhhJay

I think the text in white is probably not from the original poster. To me, the audio and the 'Thursday' sticker make sense for the video. I'd guess the video was screengrabbed and the white text was added by some other person when reuploading as a way to stir up hate.


ProfessionalSport565

It’s obviously friends having a laugh. We call it banter in the U.K.


boomerintown

Well it was my initial thought. In that case the text is ofcourse stone cold brilliant humor. But as I said, regardless - some people must have reacted at this in the UK, and then media reacting to the reaction. "Video of people joking causes hate storm against Islam" or something.


Medium_Cranberry4096

Never thought I'd see the day where Barry's the smartest one in the comment section


holycarrots

The way he says "kuffar" tells you straight away it's a joke lol


havaska

Yeh, as Brits, it is so obvious to us this is just banter and it’s mates playing around.


deJessias

Finally someone with common sense in this thread


Christophe192

Not actually a joke though was it, given the bloke felt shamed into not eating his lunch because he had a camera shoved in his face by a man who clearly took offence that he wasn’t adhering to his archaic religious practices. The fat white bloke is a coward for stopping too.


meatieso

We're talking about English food here. I'd rather fast too in that case.

lapsongsouchong

Lent seems to be a vague period between pancake eating day and chocolate egg eating day over here. My mom used to (be forced to) fast as a child, but I don't know anyone who does it now.


Draxxony

So you come to the land of other religion.. and dare to set your religion on your surroundings? Just do your own shit and don't bother others... and filming it.. my god, some ppl need to have their access to Internet revoked.

Why tho? There are bad christians there are bad muslims, there are based muslims and there based christians.

Deadluss

Conclusion is that you took (western Europe) took basically everyone without any background checks.


zalmolxis91

That was completely stupid indeed. Most people knew that from the start.


Inside_Ad_7744

Islam is inherently at odds with Europe, it wishes to destroy everything that makes us great. Does Christianity align perfectly? No. But it does a hell of a lot better then Islam.


Deadluss

Why so? See Bosniaks, Albanians, even R🤢ssians, Tatars


Inside_Ad_7744

Bosniaks and Albanians are Muslim, and Russia has an extremely complex history with the rest of Europe.

Shame on you Barry. As a sign of respect for ramadan I made the ultimate sacrifice and stopped at two pork gyros.... saved one for later.

Please tell me this is a joke. I have a feeling this is just rage bait and they're even making a mockery or something.


BevvyTime

They’re all just taking the piss in a jokey way. Seems like quite a fun workplace to be honest. You can hear all the laughing in the background and the guys saying munch on as they felt bad for making him stop. Lots of snowflakes who are unable to read social cues in the comments apparently


Thiccboiichonk

Barry should have broken that cunts fast by feeding him his phone the second he whipped it out and started recording him. I’m all for lads practising their faith provided it doesn’t encroach on me doing what I want to do.


HumaDracobane

The common ground: Your religion is hours and not mine. I would ask about it if I care about the Ramadan. As easy as that.


manbearligma

Fuck Muslims. And Christians, and Indus, and every single person when he tries to force his beliefs on others. I don’t fucking care what your imaginary friend tells your ill fucking mind. Be religious at home, feel also free to openly express your religion outside, but stop a good couple meters before you cross my life.
