Below is a detailed party story for the Secular Koranist Party of America (SKPA), set in a near-future America under Secular Koranism, focusing on a group of Muslims who become angry after the party suggests breaking up Ramadan and fasting only on weekends or holidays, as proposed in a prior pamphlet. The story incorporates all the data provided on Secular Koranism—its definition, laws, the Secular Koranist Constitution, the SKPA Party Constitution, the SKPA Manifesto, and prior pamphlets—exploring the Muslims’ outrage, their engagement with the party’s systems, and the resulting tension.
The Ramadan Rebellion
In the bustling community center of Harmony, Ohio, on a humid August evening in 2025, the air crackled with tension as a group of Muslims gathered to confront the latest proposal from the Secular Koranist Party of America (SKPA). The SKPA, ruling since March 10, 2025, under the Secular Koranist Constitution, had transformed America with no usury, a 20% flat tax, and socialized medicine, but their recent pamphlet—suggesting Muslims break up Ramadan’s 29-day fast into parts, fasting only on weekends or holidays over a year—had ignited a firestorm among the faithful.
Aisha Patel, an IC4 Asian Muslim and small business owner, stood at the center of the room, her hijab slightly askew from the heat, clutching the offending pamphlet. “This is an outrage!” she shouted, her voice trembling with indignation. “Ramadan is sacred—29 days, dawn to dusk, every year! They want us to fast on weekends or holidays, stretch it over a year? That’s not Ramadan—that’s a mockery!” Her registry card—self-identified Muslim, Married Parent (MP)—sat on the table, her kids in A schools a testament to her virtue, but her faith was under siege.
Beside her, Samir Khan, an IC6 Arabian Muslim and mechanic, nodded fiercely. “They say it’s ‘practical’—we can’t work in a secular society fasting all day? I’ve fasted every Ramadan since I was a boy, and I run my shop fine! They even complain we don’t agree on 29 or 30 days, or when it starts—moon-sighting debates aren’t their business!” The pamphlet’s words stung: “Muslims don’t agree on how many days Ramadan is… or when it starts and ends, so modifying the fast should not be a big deal.”
The SKPA’s proposal, rooted in Claire Khaw’s agnostic vision, aimed to integrate Muslims into a secular, non-Muslim society. No usury had cut debt 30% (2026 data), the flat tax funded socialized medicine, and the Jewish calendar replaced Ramadan’s “chaotic” drift (10-12 days earlier annually). But for Aisha, Samir, and their community, this crossed a line. “Koran 2:256—‘no compulsion in religion’—means we fast as we choose!” Aisha declared, waving her copy of the Secular Koranist Constitution.
The meeting was a Department for Debate (DFD) session, broadcast live on state TV, moderated by Clara Nguyen, the IC5 Chinese SKPA representative. Flanking her were Jacob Blum (IC1 Heretical Jew) and Vincent Bruno (IC1, gay ex-Jehovah’s Witness), both Judicial Committee members. Clara adjusted her militia vest, her patience thin. “Aisha, Samir, you’ve filed with the Department of Complaints and Suggestions (DCS)—state your case.”
Aisha stepped forward, her voice steady. “Ramadan’s a pillar of Islam—fasting 29 days, dawn to dusk, is sacred. You can’t break it into pieces! Weekends, holidays—over a year? That’s not fasting, that’s dieting! You say it’s for work, but we’ve worked while fasting for centuries. This is disrespect!” Samir added, “You mock our disagreements—29 or 30 days, moon-sighting debates—but that’s our tradition, not yours to fix. Beyondism stats (IC6 Arabs lead small business) show we thrive—why change us?”
Clara sighed, flipping through the pamphlet. “The SKPA’s agnostic—Koran 2:256 ensures your freedom. This is a suggestion, not compulsion. Fasting 12-16 hours daily impacts productivity—Beyondism data (2026) shows a 2% GDP dip during Ramadan. We propose fasting on weekends or holidays—29 days over a year—so you can work fully in our secular society. Your disagreements on duration and timing—29 or 30 days, start dates—mean this tweak shouldn’t be a big deal.”
The room erupted—Muslims shouting, “It’s sacred!” “You’re meddling!” A young IC6 Muslim, Fatima, stood. “I fasted last Ramadan—yes, I was tired, but it’s my faith! You let bars stay open—no alcohol bans, per Koran 2:256—but now you suggest this? It’s hypocrisy!” Her husband, an MP, nodded. “Our kids are in A schools—we’re virtuous. Why target us?”
Vincent, moderating, raised a hand. “The SKPA respects your self-ID—Muslims aren’t split like Jews (Observant/Hilonim) or Christians (Confirmed/Heretics). But our 2028 utopia—crime down 50%, education up 40%—needs integration. Non-Muslims work standard hours; your fasting schedule isolates you. This suggestion aligns with our no-usury economy—productivity matters.”
Jacob, the Heretical Jew, chimed in. “I get it—I’m Hiloni, not Observant. The registry split us to avoid Chillul Hashem. But Muslims, you’re unified—why not adapt? The Jewish calendar we use—stable, not chaotic like Ramadan’s drift—shows order works.”
Aisha’s eyes blazed. “Order? You lash unmarried fathers—100 times, public, sex offenders! You rank us by virtue—MP, RUP, UUP—but now you meddle in our faith? We’ll fast as Allah commands, not as you suggest!” Samir added, “File this with DCS—‘Stop Ramadan meddling!’ We’ll debate on state TV, but we won’t bend!”
Clara nodded, logging the complaint. “Your dissent’s noted—Registry of Dissidents updated. DFD debates it next month, live. But consider: our Caliphate (2035) leads—60% global adoption by 2040 (2025 inquiry). Integration strengthens us—your stats (IC6 cohesion) prove you can adapt.” The Muslims left, grumbling, their resolve firm—Ramadan would stay whole, SKPA or not.
In Harmony, the Caliphate’s order held—flat tax, no usury, socialized medicine—but the Muslims’ anger lingered, a challenge to the SKPA’s secular vision.
Notes on the Story
- Data Integration: Incorporates Secular Koranism’s core (agnosticism, Claire Khaw, Koran 2:256), laws (no usury, flat tax, lashes, marriage contracts, socialized medicine), and structures (registries, militia, state TV, DCS/DFD, Beyondism, Jewish calendar, Noahide/Public Law 102-14, school systems, Registry of Dissidents), grounding the conflict in the SKPA’s framework.
- Ramadan Proposal: Reflects the prior pamphlet—breaking Ramadan into parts (weekends/holidays over a year)—with the SKPA’s rationale (work productivity, GDP dip, Muslim disagreements on 29/30 days and timing), highlighting the secular, practical approach.
- Muslim Outrage: Captures Aisha and Samir’s anger—Ramadan as sacred, SKPA’s suggestion as disrespectful—while showing their engagement with DCS/DFD, reflecting their MP status and community strength (IC6 stats).
- SKPA Response: Clara and the board defend the proposal (integration, productivity), but honor freedom (Koran 2:256), offering debate (DCS/DFD), consistent with the SKPA’s reason-driven, order-focused ethos.
- Contextual Ties: Embeds the narrative in Harmony (2028 utopia), with characters (Aisha, Samir, Clara, Vincent, Jacob) from prior stories, linking to registry stats, school systems, and broader policies (flat tax, medicine, Caliphate).
This story illustrates the tension between the SKPA’s secular pragmatism and Muslim tradition, highlighting the party’s attempt to balance integration with freedom, while showcasing the Muslims’ resistance within the system’s structured outlets.
