nope not true, some of the most extreme groups reside in the UK and take advantage of "freedoms" of the western world

also, dubai is probably the least place anyone has to "abide" in the middle east..

This tread is interesting.

Although I've not yet been in Dubai during Ramadan, I have been in Malaysia during Ramadan. Islam is the state religion in Malaysia although only a slight majority of Malaysians are Muslims. The Malays are Muslims, but most of the other ethnic groups follow other religions. Nevertheless, there are some Indian Muslims, etc. in Malaysia.

There at least Malay and Indian Muslim restaturants are closed during the day, but other places like Chinese and Western restaurants are often opened during the day as usual. Of course, the Chinese restaurants often serve booze and taboo food like pork. So, I assume that an observant Muslim should avoid them at all times. (Some Malays do actually drink, but that's another story.)

Exactly how much the nightclubs in Malaysia (or officially secular yet predominately Muslim Indonesia) can get away with during Ramadan is not always clear.

In any event, it seems that the UAE might be stricter than Malaysia or Indonesia when it comes to Ramadan.

Hey Sam,

Could do with a break from work, and would expect to lose a bit of weight in 30 days of jail food, which is also good. Is it really that bad, and could you please confirm how many bars there are so I don't have to count them, i'll be doing the Telegraph cryptic crossword. Have you seen how hard that is? Might have to ask for a few extra days for good behaviour so I can finish it.

Cheers

Mr. L
