Daniel Pipes - Saudi Arabia Enforces Ramadan on Non-Muslims The Saudi authorities have ordered that everyone in the country, non-Muslims as well as Muslims, abide by the restrictions of Ramadan (which begins on Oct. 15). That means they must abstain from eating, drinking, and smoking in public during the daylight hours. This is required, the Interior Ministry says, to "respect Muslims' feelings." The ministry calls on institutions, firms and individuals to "understand the text of this statement and explain it to their employees and workers, warning them of the consequences of such violations." Comment: This is a logical step for the Wahhabis to take, part of their relentless pressure bordering on coercion to push the foreign residents of Saudi Arabia (for that's who the non-Muslims are, there being no such thing as a non-Muslim Saudi) to convert to Islam.
