Article in telegraph
^^Non-Muslim police staff invited to fast during Ramadan
West Midlands force says practice helps officers understand significance of religious festival for residents^^

I don’t believe one needs to experience a religion’s practice to understand the significance. This is on the back of the recent controversy about halal meat being served in schools and hospitals so as to accommodate specific faiths.
Whatever next, no blood transfusions so that we can experience the significance according to Jehovah, or wear a burka, not to mention experience “sharia law”.
I understood being British and living in a progressive society, with equal rights for all encourages free thinking so let us just be.

I do not want to live in a Muslim country.

Where will these politicians be when it has all gone wrong?

You are quite right, just leave us be.

As usual with this type off thread, both the title and the content of the opening post are misleading, goady and use the intellectually vacuous slippery slope fallacious argument. Whenever there is no link provided, it usually means salient facts have been omitted - in this case even the Telegraph reports that this invitation has been made for a number of years. Somehow we seem to have survived that happening without refusing blood transfusions.
