I have wondered that since fasting is an outward show of their deep love for God, why do certain countries, like Qatar, enforce that upon the expats of different religions? I mean, if you are fasting for your deep love of God, then it shouldn't be a burden upon you to see someone else eating or drinking. I can understand the no smoking since it is an addicted habit..but the part of not allowing others to eat/drink in public is rather hypocritical, in my view. If you have a deep love for God then you should be able to fast even if others are eating and drinking around you because you don't want to fail God.
