I too have always felt that asking non-muslims to not eat and drink is a bit unfair. Where is the sacrifice when u dont even see food, dont let others have food, keep the restaurants closed, then work half day and go home?
I remember fasting back home, those who were not fasting were going on as usual while we had to refrain, work full time and do all regular chores in addition to finding extra time for prayers.
although the nights in the gulf are more fulfilling than back home, with the prayers.
and yes, 'some' DO sleep the whole day and enjoy the nights out during ramadhan. although i wudnt call it fasting in its true sense, maybe starving?
