Does this mean he’s also going to kill a bunch of non-mohammedans in a shopping mall?

I had a chance to observe up-close the effects of Ramadan on people three years ago. In the midst of July heat...in a classroom without AC, we had a couple of guys doing the fasting business. This was a 9AM to 1PM class. By 11AM, these guys were running out of patience, showing signs of dehydration, and really frustrated because their last smoke was at 4:30AM.

I asked one day to a guy who’d spent most of his life in a Middle-Eastern country....how this would work in the old country. He said that most all physical work jobs just plain stopped in the Ramadan period. Construction projects, garbage pick-up, shelf-stocking, etc....were on a very short schedule...from maybe 5AM to 9AM, then everyone just went home and tried to rest to make it till sun-down.

I asked...since he’d now arrived in a western country and they kinda expected you to work and do your required physical labor....how he’d be able to do it, and he had doubts. For 30 days...no water from sun-up to sun-down? The further north you go in Europe....the more hours you have to mess with. It’d be great in December to have Ramadan because you’d only be talking about 7 hours of sunshine.

In the end, I think all of these folks will have kidney and liver issues by their late 30’s, and face a shorten life because of the continued dehydration practices. The more physical their job....the more likely of the short life.
