Years ago, I read an article that this is a big problem already in the north of Sweden. They have no sunset for quite a while in ~~winter~~ summer.

They solve it with a rule somewhere that you can orient this on the next major city. Some interpret that to be Stockholm, others as the next major Islamic city which is Istanbul. Both feel bad about eating while the sun is out, especially when they are born is the "Muslim world", therefore near the equator relatively speaking

Such weak minds, to many there's no compromises if somebody happens to have a different religion, but if it affects themselves the rules are very malleable.

Not talking specificly about Muslims, I see this with other religious fundamentalist as well.

For example saw orthodox Jews during a hot summer in NYC. The fuse blew out and AC stopped working, and apparently turning it back on was considered a work so they instead asked me to turn it on. So basically they are not allowed to do work, but asking someone to do the work for them on Sabbat is acceptable in God's eyes?

So they should starve? The religion itself says self harm is forbidden. If it comes between disobeying religion and self harm you should choose disobeying religion. For example if you are starving you are permitted to eat non halal food.

Yes, absolutely.

Maybe it would help some to realize that religion was invented by powerful to manipulate the masses.

If those rules would truly come from God, they would definitively match all the laws and rules of the World created by the God.

The bloodiest wars we had and still have were because of religions. Ironically in many cases those people supposedly worshipped the same God.
