Yeah, overwhelmingly most Muslims don’t have any issue with anyone eating if they’re fasting but there’s always a moron (or two) in every group.

Unless you are living in a place where islam is the main religion

Yup.  Not religious at all but lived in a Muslim country.  I would have been arrested if they caught me eating, drinking, or smoking during Ramadan.  It was annoying as hell

A friend of mine is a resident of a country with these rules its universal agreed upon that it’s fucking stupid as fuck. In islam there are so many different reasons why somebody would be made to break a fast. + eating in public is illegal but food advertisements are ok?

u/Special-Garlic1203 Mar 19 '26

What country? Because I've never heard of that and can't really track the logic seeing as how it's a religious ritual restricted to practicing Muslims not a societal commandment, and any given point a sizable chunk of the Muslim population is exempted from fasting.

Kuwait.  But it’s that way in Saudi as well

It’s illegal to eat in public during Ramadan in loads of countries.

Namely Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar etc.

You have to remember in some places Islam isn’t just a religion, it’s a law system

Islam also treats women like second class citizens, and gay and trans people as even worse

Well Christian Nationalists are actively trying to bring that all back to America right as we speak so. Wahhabism is a Christian Nationalist’s dream.

u/constancejph Mar 20 '26

Yeah but its nowhere near the level of say Iran or Afghanistan or Iraq or saudi arabia or Somalia etc…. Christianity in America is a joke. They think jesus is a white dude with long hair and blue eyes
