Except if it's western, then you can do whatever the fuck you want. Rape the locals, and just get 20 days of community service for it. Behead a guy, shoot people because they drew a cartoon, and other crazed bullshit. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18921217 United States 06/26/2015 04:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Believe this shit? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69431652 A top commander in southwest Asia reminded U.S military personnel stationed in Muslim countries in the Middle East of the restrictions placed on them during Ramadan. According to a report by the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Public Affairs, Brig. Gen. John Quintas, 380th Air Expeditionary Wing commander in Southwest Asia, said that the U.S. is "committed to the concepts of tolerance, freedom and diversity." But he added that soldiers should "become more informed and appreciative of the traditions and history of the people in this region of the world... [R]emember we are guests here and that the host nation is our shoulder-to-shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, risking their lives for our common cause to defeat terrorism." During the 30-day religious celebration of Ramadan, even non-Muslims are expected to obey local laws regarding eating, drinking, and using tobacco in public. Violators can be fined up to $685 or receive two months in jail. A spokesperson for United States Central Command [CENTCOM] said that "we are not aware of any specific instances of anyone being arrested" for such violations.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 844418 United States 06/26/2015 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No drinking in public? Man, I'd make a fortune making Ramadan-day drinking booths, like phonebooths with blacked out windows with a vending machine, you go in, get a drink, nobody sees anything. I'd call it superwater booths. It's like prohibition times. Psst, hey kid, wanna buy a bottle of water? Oh noes here come the po-po! So many rules that eventually corrode their institution. |

I mean, that beheading in France was just one bad apple. Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe because they aren't being multicultural enough. Racist Swedes. Oh, the insanity.

Americans are brainwashed with their biased media. Your government creates a problem and then pretends to fix it by going to war over throwing the so called dictator and then leaving the country in ruins while secretly stealing said countries resources. I think its a great idea for the troops to be respectful during Ramadan ... |
