Oman warns non-Muslims not to violate Ramadan
The Omani authorities warned Monday that non-Muslims who violate Ramadan, Islamâs holy month of fasting and alms-giving, would be punished. The ministry of religious affairs also urged non-Muslim women to wear "loose, non-transparent clothes covering the entire body," said a statement issued to mark the onset of Ramadan. Non-Muslims were asked not to eat, drink or smoke in public during the fasting hours - from dawn to dusk. The punishment for offenders was not detailed.I wonder what the punishment will be? Ah, the âholyâ month of Ramadan, such a warm and loving holiday, what with religious police and all Posted by: TS 2003-10-27 |
