NYC giving free Ramadan meals to Muslims
The coronavirus pandemic has turned life upside down for many New Yorkers, including those who wish to safely practice their faiths.It doesn't look like he's willing to do the same for Judaists and Christians, is he? And the hungry only include those who condone the Religion of Peace, not those considered "infidels". But, you really couldn't expect any less from such a disgrace as de Blasio, could you? This is certainly telling of where taxpayer dollars are being wasted.
Muslims, who began the holy month of Ramadan on Thursday, are no exception. The holy month involving fasting from sunup to sundown, charity and prayer is typically celebrated as a community. But due to social distancing, that's not possible this year.
To help families celebrate, especially those who've lost income due to shutdowns, New York City has announced plans to serve more than 500,000 halal meals to Muslims during Ramadan.
A halal meal is one that is prepared in accordance with Islamic law.
"One of Ramadan's most noble callings is to feed the hungry," Mayor Bill de Blasio said during a press conference on Thursday. "It's a crucial part of how the holiday is celebrated, to remember to be there for those in need, and that is now harder than ever."

This was part of a program that has already served served several million meals, including kosher and vegetarian ones. The city says they served about ten million meals in April and will be serving about 15 million in May.
So yes, they are doing the same thing for judaists, Christians and unaffiliated infidels.

So far, they haven't reached anywhere near the 15 million for May; it is only 'bout 14 million meals since mid-March. In their favor, though, they are also handing out tampons and menstrual pads, thanks to a bit of lobbying by a couple of high school students. They are giving those out to people of all religions or lack thereof.
