You don't know squat about Islam you moron... In Islam we are not to force non-Muslims to perform the fast... Only we ask that they refrain from eating in front of those who are fasting out of respect.

Yeah, but their proces during Easter are doubled.
2 Pumpkin: I am buying alcohol also in Woolworths, in MMI, I will ask next time about Easter, but I am sure that they don't sell alcohol during this month. It is better to go to Ajman or Umm-Al-Quwain to stock up.
This what I am going to do.

It wasn't a joke, all restaurants are closed during the day till 6 pm.
Only some restaurants in the hotels are open, where the hotelguests can have lunch. The foodcourts are also closed or open for takeway only.
So you can either go home and have lunch or buy some food and eat in some closed areas (everything depends on your office nationalities).
Anyway by the law you have to work 6 hours a day only, so it means that by 2.30-3.00 pm you'll be free and can go home and eat.

If you are quoting Islam then would you not be quoting the Holy Quran, which states something down these line, and correct me if I am wrong...
"During the time of fast, life as it is goes on and as a Muslim, you must use your self control to fast. But none Muslim continue forward with life, not removing the temptations of those desires."
It is the local laws and culture that forces the expat not to drink, eat, chew gum, etc in open public but not the Holy Quran.
