Our fasting is different. You start at dawn and end at twilight. In the hours between, no eating or drinking. In Muslim-majority countries there is a shorter work and school day to ease the hunger and the thirst. Some people can't take it and some people find it too easy. I pretty hyper when I'm fasting and hardly notice a difference, in comparison to a dad of a friend who whines and yells at everyone because he can't get his nicotin or caffiene fix in the mornin.
Why? What's stopping him? There is no law against eating or drinking is there? Let me check if there's a constitutional prohibition, nope there isn't. So eat and drink away.
Who wants to follow the mad ravings of the murdering warmonger Muhammad anyway?
