pagallim Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 34 minutes ago, RuamRudy said: Being born into the Muslim faith does not mean you have to be observant. I have been to many bars in Muscat and seen locals drinking at professional levels. Just as I was born into the Christian faith but am not a believer, it is entirely feasible that, if these guys are Muslims, the faith they were born into means little to them. Indeed, though certainly within their home countries/communities, even if not being particularly obvservant, adherence to the daylight fasting during Ramadan is usually the norm. I worked/lived for 3 years in Qatar, so am familiar with their practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that they can't renounce it or they would be put to death. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
