I have 2 Q's
I know that there is an issue (similar to the one you mentioned in the Jewish thread) with Muslim athlete's fasting during Ramadan... particularly not drinking in daylight.
If a pro athlete (or anyone) competed in Ramadan - during daylight - and was overcome by the heat: should they drink water in the case that they believed they needed to to save their life? Or in the truest adherence to their rules should they face death before breaking fast?
Of course, the other option is that the Muslim athlete doesnt compete in Ramadan - but (in the same way as a Jew refusing to compete on the Shabbat) this would make it virtually impossible for them to be a pro sportsman.

In your opinion, is there any religious commandment within the qu'ran that decree's that women should cover up any part of their body in public? Or is this instead merely a social and man-made rule prevalent in many Islamic communities?
(sorry if this has been touched on before, I didnt read the whole thread)
