"Don't eat or drink in public during Ramadan's daytime hours," said Hani Abukishk, from Dallas, Texas, during a Ramadan awareness brief for U.S. service members at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Aug. 19. Everyone in the Gulf countries, regardless of religious beliefs, must remain aware of the importance and traditions of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic (lunar) calendar, said Abukishk. "In Qatar, failure to respect the holy month's fast is punishable under local laws. Wearing suggestive clothing or displaying public affection is also offensive, since they can cause a Muslim to break the fast – where for a moment, they're not thinking about God or world hunger."
