At the college where I taught in the Middle East, the sound of ambulance sirens in Ramadan was common. Quite often students would faint, esp female ones that have the breathe through black fabric on their face in 50+ degrees (122 F)https://twitter.com/jalehtavakoli/status/999278140408193025 …

The post you’re retweeting is in response to the Danish minister of integration proposing/demanding that fasting muslims go on leave during ramadan because they pose a threat to the people with whom they come into contact at work. In your opinion does she have a point?
I didn’t realize that was the context of @JalehTavakoli’s tweet, but I’d say it depends on the industry. It could be true in a lot of fields, for sure. In other fields, the only danger would only be to the individuals choosing to dehydrate themselves.

In Denmark you have to go without water and food in 18-19 hours in the heat. People do faint or get very sick. In certain jobs that is a risk to others, if you are responsible for other people and you still want to take that risk you should stay at home

The explicit examples given were bus drivers and hospital staff. No concrete examples of danger or negligence have been produced thus far. But I guess it would be difficult to quantify.

A member of the main supporting party of the gouvernement doubled down and demanded that muslims fasting while working be fired.
