I truly do not understand why a non Muslim can't eat when he wants to during Ramadan. After all, he is not celebrating this holiday. If Muslims gain a big majority in European countries, are we going to see non Muslims punished for eating during Muslim fasting hours? Even now in Spain there have been articles about Muslim students throwing away the ham sandwiches of the Christian students. Can you imagine a Hindu daring to throw away a roast beef sandwich of anyone who is not a Hindu?

An Iranian judge sentenced a Christian man to have his lips burnt with a cigarette for eating during the day in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The barbaric punishment was carried out in public in a square in the city of Kermanshah.
Five other Muslim men were also flogged in public with 70 lashes for not fasting during Ramadan, the city's deputy governor Ali Ashraf Karami said.
A spokesperson from The National Council of Resistance of Iran, a political coalition which opposes the government, denounced the treatment as 'savage' and called on western countries to take action.
