"SUNNI Muslims across much of the world on Wednesday began the fasting month of Ramadan during an especially gruelling time of the year for many, with the Shiite community expected to follow suit on Thursday.

Authorities urged Muslims to be merciful during Ramadan, while non-Muslims in Muslim-majority countries were asked to observe the rules and refrain from drinking or eating in public or face fines and imprisonment."-Reuters

Please tell me why these people always think others have to bow down to their fkn beliefs? When they come here, they certainly don't want to be told that they have to live their lives according to some other religions followers. The hypocrisy is just so clear.

That's pretty much a mandatory characteristic of every organized religion in some way, shape, or form.

Perhaps not to certain extremes, but it's pretty much a hallmark of every religion.

Which is a shame b/c religion does a lot of good in this world as well.

What country is jailing Muslims for not following a majority's religious beliefs?
They are threatening to jail people for publicly eating during the day.

Well, there was this little war in Europe, way back in the dark ages of the 1990's, when Muslims were murdered for not following a minority's beliefs... perhaps you've heard of it? If not, here's a refresher:

<<In April 1992, the U.S. and European Community chose to recognize the independence of Bosnia, a mostly Muslim country where the Serb minority made up 32 percent of the population. Milosevic responded to Bosnia's declaration of independence by attacking Sarajevo, its capital city, best known for hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics. Sarajevo soon became known as the city where Serb snipers continually shot down helpless civilians in the streets, including eventually over 3,500 children.

Bosnian Muslims were hopelessly outgunned. As the Serbs gained ground, they began to systematically roundup local Muslims in scenes eerily similar to those that had occurred under the Nazis during World War II, including mass shootings, forced repopulation of entire towns, and confinement in make-shift concentration camps for men and boys. The Serbs also terrorized Muslim families into fleeing their villages by using rape as a weapon against women and girls.

The actions of the Serbs were labeled as 'ethnic cleansing,' a name which quickly took hold among the international media.

Despite media reports of the secret camps, the mass killings, as well as the destruction of Muslim mosques and historic architecture in Bosnia, the world community remained mostly indifferent. The U.N. responded by imposing economic sanctions on Serbia and also deployed its troops to protect the distribution of food and medicine to dispossessed Muslims. But the U.N. strictly prohibited its troops from interfering militarily against the Serbs. Thus they remained steadfastly neutral no matter how bad the situation became.

Throughout 1993, confident that the U.N., United States and the European Community would not take militarily action, Serbs in Bosnia freely committed genocide against Muslims. Bosnian Serbs operated under the local leadership of Radovan Karadzic, president of the illegitimate Bosnian Serb Republic. Karadzic had once told a group of journalists, "Serbs and Muslims are like cats and dogs. They cannot live together in peace. It is impossible.">>

Serbs are mostly Orthodox Christians.

Oh, and while we're at it- a little closer to home:

Around Nation, Proposed Mosques Face Opposition

Religious bigotry is not limited to nations that don't allegedly have separation of church and state.

Thank God religious bigotry in the form of murder is generally limited to countries where for the most part, religion is the state.

Then again protesting and killing are far different IMO
