<Non-Muslims told to follow Ramadan rules> Nothing new here. Its always been that way in the AGCC countries. Back in the mid-80s, when I lived in the region, I was expected to follow the rules. What no one will tell you in a press release is : follow the rules in a public place. what u do inside your house is your business.

This is simple courtesy. I have only fasted for a few days in all my life and that was to try it out as a diet (didn't work, as I stuffed myself at night before going to bed <ggg>) but when I was living in the ME, I took care not to eat or drink in front of people I knew were fasting. This is simple manners and courtesy. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims following Ramadan rules. You just don't eat in front of them and make them smell the pizza you are gulping down. You eat at home. I don't see anything wrong with that.
