He didn't find the time to go south and deliver the message in person then?

Sorry mate, Islam and stable countries do not go together.

He might have used it as an opportune moment to do a bit of election campaigning down south under the guise of well wishing for Ramadan..

Worked offshore in Saudi for a few years. 

I'd like to know how many faithful kill themselves every year by fasting. 

I worked in the heat with these idiots, they wouldn't drink water all day. 

 

Good way to see Allah prematurely.

Terrorism during Ramadan is a serious issue that affects many people around the world. According to some sources¹², some jihadist terrorist groups such as ISIS and Hamas see Ramadan as a time for military jihad and violence against “disbelievers” and “enemies of Islam”. They often carry out attacks in different locations, targeting civilians, security forces, religious minorities and even fellow Muslims³⁴⁵⁶.

Not eating all the day is no problem at all, but not drinking fluid in a climate like Saudi Arabia is something I didn't think off. No problem in cooler areas...still not good but doable.
