Islam, born out of Judaism and Christianity saw that the Jews prayed 3 times a day so they said, “we’re more devout, let’s pray 5 times a day”!
Islam saw that the Jews’ major fast is for 24 hours on Yom Kippur so the said, “we’re more devout, let’s fast for a whole friggin’ month”!
Everything they do is extreme and this religion keeps them imprisoned in the 7th Century...
The Yom Kippur fast is 24 hrs. However, children, pregnant and nursing mothers, the sick and infirm, and the elderly are not obligated, and in some cases, prohibited from fasting.
I wonder if Ramadan has similar exceptions.
Indeed. You have hit the nail on its head.
