Sure. Why not. I don’t have a problem with that.
I spent some time in rural Egyptian towns in my youth. Also in Jordan and a few other places.
In Egypt, there was a little corner shop that had, on the bottom shelf, a very large bag of what looked to me like Fruit Roll Up. Apricot. Unlike the American Fruit Roll Up this one was 5 or 6 times larger. I had the munchies (hey, it was Egypt! and I was still fairly young) so I bought it. And ate it. A little more bland than a Fruit Roll Up, but good enough for Egypt where you had to eat Pizza with a knife to bat the flies away.
A few days later a local I had been friendly with came to me and asked “just curious, why did you buy that”. I explained, it looked like a Fruit Roll Up, an American snack. He said “Ah, we were all curious (I guess the townsfolk all gossiped about what the tourists were doing)” and then proceeded to explain they used that for Ramadan. They don’t eat during the day, but at night they cook and one of the dishes includes melting that rolled up pressed fruit thingy into a stew.
We understood each other, then went to the hookah bar shared some tea and smoked a peace pipe together. For my experience, others may have different experience, but the legendary Arab Hospitality is a real thing.
You can be friends with some of them. But don’t mix religions.
