The recent Ramadan, an Islamic commemoration with no roots in Western countries, provided a warning about growing Islamization as schools and workplaces in America and Europe banned public eating out of ‘respect’ for the period. This effectively forced non-Muslims to observe an Islamic commemoration putting them in the familiar position of Dhimmis that Christians are forced to occupy in the Muslim world.
This article in Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung describes the plight of Christians in the Muslim world during Ramadan. Even if you don’t speak German, I think you can make out the headline, “Christen Im Ramadan: Du Musst Auch Fasten!”
Or “You Must Fast!”
Nada is a Christian. In the society she lives in, this is not the norm. As a convert, she is particularly vulnerable – a circumstance that, for many, amounts to a death sentence. “My family knows nothing about my faith, otherwise they would kill me.”
She speaks of fear of arrest, of threats and violence that could also affect her daughters if she defies the strict fasting rules. Ramadan, a time of reflection for many in Yemen, is for her a daily struggle to adapt, a time when she has to conceal her own faith and feels like she is denying herself. “We don’t like to lie, but we are forced to,” she says. To avoid arousing suspicion, she even participates in Muslim prayers: “We don’t want to do this, but we are afraid.”
