A question to Northern latitude muzzies: what do you do when Ramadan falls in June? Here at latitude 50 deg plus it seems impossible (one meal at midnight, perhaps) while in December it would be hardly any hardship at all, except for the temptation of infidel Christmas parties. can you keep Mecca time?
Ramadan in the Arab world seems a bit of a fraud. People sleep in the day and party through the night. Nothing much gets done. Out in dar-al-Gharb it must be hard.
Pessimism is the soft option.
