Among guidance issued to U.S. military deployed in Muslim majority countries, the Bahrain-based command of U.S. Navy 5th Fleet posted guidance for sailors and their family members to heed during Ramadan when off base.
U.S. personnel are not expected to fast during Ramadan, but community members must refrain from eating, chewing gum, drinking water, smoking or chewing tobacco in public during daylight hours, according to 5th Fleet. “‘In public’ includes riding in a bus or car (even your own), walking or exercising,” according to the 5th Fleet’s Facebook page. “Eating, drinking or smoking by a non-Muslim in public during the day is considered a civil offence by many local laws, which may result in a fine or confinement.”

So whats so wrong with that? When these people come to our countries we expect them to respect and follow our laws and customs…..we can’t have 1 set of rules for them and another for ourselves. Like they say….”When in Rome….”

@ Wung – You say “when these people come to our countries we expect them to follow or laws & customs . . . It is not our custom to hide our women under black tents and to abuse women, yet they still do. Is that abiding by our customs???? It is not part of our laws to kill other people yet they bomb, suicide bomb, shoot on out own military base etc. etc. So is that still OK? When in Rome is fine IN Rome or other civilized cities where people are not tortured and abused and beheaded etc. If our soldiers cannot live as they would when home – BRING THEM HOME!!!
