That was uncalled for..
Why bring personal insults and India into this thread, if you can’t argue with valid points then please don’t post at all.

That what your friend does.....we give it back.

 

[Solomon2]

There is no Law who condemn "Eating during Ramadan"...
Those 4 guys did get arrested after the neighborhood called the police and when they got there... they were drunk...
They've got 1 month of prison... but never did it... they could remove that sanction by appealing in the 10 days...

You are not sent to jail for Eating... Because there is no LAW of such...

People eating in ramadan is not a secret...you can find them easily... doing so in Public...

Thank you. Links to news sources or police reports, please.

 

[TruthHurtz]

Homosexuals bring degeneracy wherever they manifest.

 

[HannibalBarca]

Thank you. Links to news sources or police reports, please.

They were a clarification from the Justice department a year ago on Facebook.
So, if you ask me to get it, Well I can't...

But you can see, if you followed the news...that they were no follow up from the incident by Associations or news outlet.

Progressive folk.

'"We dont attack any religion or belief. On the contrary we call for freedom of belief and conscience."'​

Does that include Palestine and Kashmir

 

[AUz]

Literally I see 40 people at Max doing something that nobody cares about

Last year, a court in the Northern Tunisian town of Bizerte sentenced four men to one month in prison for eating and smoking in a public garden before sunset, when the celebratory meal of Iftar can begin. While Tunisia has no specific law prohibiting people from eating in public during the fast time, the government does have a vague duty to promote Islam.

Wow. Just Wow. People getting arrested for eating.

That was uncalled for..

I read in India people get killed for eating beef. Incredible! India indeed.

I'd rather say it's a matter of courtesy to avoid eating and drinking deliberately in public during Ramadan .


I never forget the volleyball match between Iran and the US during Ramadan in Tehran a few years ago . The US players never had any water in front of the Iranian fans until the evening call for prayer .

That's ridiculous if true. People could die of dehydration.

 

[SALMAN F]

If it's like the Tunisians don't eat publicly in ramadan

 

[The SiLent crY]

That's ridiculous if true. People could die of dehydration.

Actually the match was broadcast live and nothing happened .

They waited until the fans broke their fast .

I was not doubting you. I was just shocked to hear such a crazy act. Glad that no one died.

As per hadees, no prohibition. Actually fasting person gets more virtues if a non-fastig person eats in front of them.

I quote Trimzi's hadees: "The Prophet said: "When those who are not fasting eat in the presence of the fasting person, the angels send Salat upon him."
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 784 In-book reference : Book 8, Hadith 103 English translation : Vol. 2, Book 3, Hadith 784


Longer version of same
"...Prophet said to her: 'Eat.' She said: 'I am fasting.' So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Indeed the angels send Salat upon the fasting person when (others) eat in his presence, until they finish.' And perhaps he said: 'Until they have eaten their fill."
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 785 In-book reference : Book 8, Hadith 104 English translation : Vol. 2, Book 3, Hadith 785

Another hadees. Prophet himself eating in front of a fasting person
"Prophet was eating breakfast. The Prophet said to Anad: "Come and eat the breakfast." He said: "I am fasting." ......."
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 2315 In-book reference : Book 22, Hadith 226 English translation : Vol. 3, Book 22, Hadith 2317

Tunisians Protest for the Right to Eat in Public During Ramadan

BY TYLER O'NEIL MAY 23, 2018

Twitter screenshot of protesters in Tunisia demanding "MouchBessif" in Ramadan.​

On May 27, Tunisians plan to march for the ability to eat in public before sunset during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Since the Arab Spring brought a more secular government to power in the North African country, religious freedom issues have sprung up in unlikely places. Many restaurants close their doors until sunset, when Muslims break their fast during Ramadan.

Last year, a court in the Northern Tunisian town of Bizerte sentenced four men to one month in prison for eating and smoking in a public garden before sunset, when the celebratory meal of Iftar can begin. While Tunisia has no specific law prohibiting people from eating in public during the fast time, the government does have a vague duty to promote Islam.

Last Thursday, protesters took to the streets for "#مش_بالسيف," or "#MouchBessif," a slogan that means "Nothing can be against our will."

#مش_بالسيف.. حملة في تونس تنادي بـ "حق الإفطار العلني في رمضان"

10:23 AM - May 17, 2018
A protest event page from last year listed many demands including "open all cafes and restaurants, eating and drinking in the public road as a personal freedom, creed and faith personal and spiritual freedom in Tunisia for all regardless of religions, Tunisia is a civil state and not an Islamic state, [and] secularism is the solution to coexistence with all."

"MouchBessif" activists are planning a mass protest on May 27, marking the second year of protests, Albawaba reported. Non-Muslims and Muslims have joined together to protest for religious freedom, with even some Muslims fighting for other people's right to eat in public during Ramadan.

Many protesters have called on the government to acknowledge the 2011 constitution's provisions for religious freedom.

"We dont attack any religion or belief. On the contrary we call for freedom of belief and conscience," one activist tweeted.

لا نهاجم اي دين و أي معتقد
بل بالعكس ندعو لحرية المعتقد و الضمير #مش_بالسيف

9:28 PM - May 20, 2018


An Egyptian user tweeted his desire to get the campaign started in his country. "Tunisians launched the campaign 'MouchBessif' to break their fast during Ramadan in public because of personal freedom. Wishing they could do it here in Egypt," the man tweeted.

التوانسه عملو حمله مش بالسيف ،، للجهر بالافطار فى #رمضان ،، تحت شعار الحرية الشخصيه ،،
عقبال ميعملوها عندنا ف #مصر
عشان الوضع بقا زومبي خالص

2:12 PM - May 18, 2018
There are thousands of Christians, Jews, and even a few hundred Baha'i in Tunisia. While the constitution upholds freedom of religion, it also stipulates that only a Muslim can be president and that Islam is the official religion. The government prohibits efforts to proselytize, but changing religions is legal. Muslims who decide to leave Islam face great societal pressure.
