And i can assure you that there are indeed many young morrocan of my generation who share the same opinions as i do concerning this situation. However, you should realize that Islam is something that has been "engineered" into the morrocan dna to a point where <b>islam has become more of a tradition</b>. Therefore, public breaking of fasting would be considered offensive to many morrocans no matter how religious they are. Also, I don't recall reading about someone being arrested for breaking fasting or alcohol drinking in Ramadan before.<br />Yes we need to separate state from religion but it's not something you can realize in one day.<br />There are other efficient and "smarter" alternatives to what some stupid youngsters consider fighting for freedom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18220453.post-82938107584147575222009-09-16T12:02:16.900+00:002009-09-16T12:02:16.900+00:00Ramadan -Time for some Moroccans to understand tha...Ramadan -Time for some Moroccans to understand that in this world 'freedom' is not just a word meaning 'get out of jail'<br />All humans MUST have the freedom in their own countries to live as they choose. So if some Muslims in Morocco choose not to fast I do not see a problem with that. It is their choice.<br />The UK has separated State from Religion. This is the way most countries are governed.Piggynoreply@blogger.com
