On top of that, a manager in our company saying that we should be respectful and change our behaviour due to their beliefs is ridiculous. What's next?? Telling people that they should try not to look like they are working on Sundays so that we don't offend any Catholics? Or how about asking the cafeteria not to sell pork products so that our jewish and muslim employees can eat there peacefully.
Tolerance = Civilized. I go by the "live and let live" moto. I'm not gonna go up to a muslim and force him to eat this month...or any month. Just like I wouldn't force a jew to eat pork. I really hope that this NTC was mis-written and clarification follows.
I for one will not curb my eating & drinking habits for someone else's beliefs.
We hear ya and I don't disagree but let's see you practice that attitude in the Middle East!
