The comments from immigration and integration minister Inger Stojberg, a member of the center-right Liberal Party, come after Ramadan, one of Islam’s most revered holidays in which Muslims around the world fast from dawn until dawn, began last week.

“I want to call on Muslims to take leave from work during the month of Ramadan to avoid negative consequences for the rest of Danish society,” Stojberg wrote in a column for the BT tabloid. […]

She also said she feared the fasting could affect “safety and productivity,” giving as an example bus drivers who have “neither had a drink nor eaten for more than 10 hours”. […]

Pay the ones that work 12 months of pay for an 11 month job?

It’s almost enough to make a body convert.

When will they learn?

Not allowing them in would be the safe thing for society.

Don't get me wrong, I am against mass-Muslim immigration (and I lived in Denmark for three years, so I understand where she is coming from), but an (up to) ten hour fast is not going to impair anyone. I have done as long as three days with no impairment.

Just saying that we need to pick our battles...

There is a bit of difference between your one to three day fast and going a full month without eating/drinking during daylight hours for a month.

No food or water permitted, just like Yom Kippur, but the muzzies had to change that up too...

You have independent confirmation of no impairment .... if you were impaired you wouldn’t even realize it.

No biggee. Danes get like 27 holiday days a year, plus their vacations, plus two weeks ‘stress leave’, and guys get maternity leave, too, and they have 37 hour workweeks.
