Palestinian Authority bans public eating during Ramadan

Jun 7, 2017 6:11 am By Robert Spencer

This applies to the Christians in the Palestinian Authority, as well as to non-observant Muslims. When in Muslim lands, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And when in non-Muslim lands, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities.

“Palestinian Authority bans public eating during Ramadan,” Jerusalem Post, June 4, 2017:

Palestinian security forces have been ordered to “act against anyone who breaks the fast in public,” by the highest religious official in the Palestinian Authority during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to WAFA, the official Palestinian Authority news agency.

The highest religious official in the Palestinian Authority, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Muhammed Hussein, called on the Palestinian people in late May, ahead of the holy month, to “preserve the month’s sanctity,” and for Palestinian Authority security forces to take action against those eating in public “in preparation for legal steps against them,” in order to ensure compliance.

The Grand Mufti also called on “the owners of restaurants and cafes to close” during daytime hours.

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims are forbidden to eat and drink from dawn until sunset. Fasting is obligatory for adult Muslims.

The District Governor of Jenin, Ibrahim Ramadan, issued a similar ban on public eating. “It is absolutely forbidden to harm the sanctity of the honorable month by eating and drinking in public,” he announced….

    Oh yes, brings back memories of working in the Gulf States during Ramadan and watching the stream of cars heading out of town at the end of the half day of work to have a sleep before sunset prayers followed by Iftar, or heading off for an afternoon of eats and drinks…most edifying indeed.

    So it’s wrong to have a tuna sandwich for lunch in the park, but okay to slit the throat of a Jew/Christian/Hindu in the park on your lunch hour?

    “It is absolutely forbidden to harm the sanctity of the honorable month by eating and drinking in public” … however, it is HALAL (permitted) to KILL, MAIM, HATE, FIGHT, MURDER the dirty KUFAAR during Ramadan and ALLAH will grant 70 times the heavenly rewards to the KILLER OF KAFIRS.

    This LIMITED TIME offer is valid only until June 25, 2017 (end of Ramadan) , so GO FORTH ON JIHAD NOW while supplies of houri VIRGINS last. (sarc/off)

    For a group always crying the blues about an economy in shambles, their governance (hate to even call it that) certainly knows how to waste time and money on idiotic crap like this. In 2017 there is a group of 1.5 billion adults who work themselves into a self-congratulatory frenzy over their steeliness for skipping lunch… And cheers to a group of desert-dwelling people who pride themselves on not drinking water during the daytime in summer. Oh, I can just hear that economy getting going any minute now! Spend the day hangry and dehydrated and nighttime on the toilet constipated. Divine.

      Yes, and local newspapers have all sorts of advice on how to avoid putting on too mch during Ramadan. I kid you not.

    Damn! I wanted to be the cheerful Palestinian Good Humor Man, driving around in a bright truck, bringing cool ice cream treats to the kids.

    This is dysgenic: children are born with birth defects if mother is deprived of nutrients during pregnancy.

    Islam is a failed religion that creates dysgenic breeding as well as slavery, poverty etc.

    Study writings of some illuminated Masters from Beloved Bharat. Teach child philosophy and science from early age, preferably in mother tongue of child. Learn a bit of Sanskrit and Avestan.

    correct time to eat is daytime, not nighttime according to Natural Law aka “dharma”

    night is for rest

    …………………

    Yeah–but remember that the “Palestinian Authority” is “secular”. sarc/off

    And yes–Christians and non-observant Muslims are victimized by this, as well.

    The ban is already starting in Europe: a muslim killed for eating ice cream and another attacked for smoking during the day; in France a kufr attacked for taking beer out of the store in France. Europe is going, going, gone. Don’t let it happen here.
