What are they trying to prove?

Egyptian police arrests 155 people for not fasting in Ramadan!!! Since when? It was always known that Egypt has its own form of tolerant Islam contradicting to the Gulf or Iranian practices and intolerance.

The news is a real shock to me, because we Egyptians never cared about who fasts and who don't. Another thing it's the individual right to fast or not to fast and the government can't impose religion on everyone using this way. The problem is we're living in an environment that has some extreme religious views and sectarian problems from time to time, so we can't afford the police stopping every non fasting person on the street. The point is that Egyptians are polite when it comes to matters of not fasting, I've always seen Christians shy to take a cup of coffee or breakfast at work so not to hurt their fellow Muslims feeling in Ramadan. So why the hell are they arresting people with no discrimination?

Suppose some of them are foreigners or maybe they aren't arrested but what would they say about Egypt? This gives a very negative image really, we'll be equal to Saudi in the treatment of non Muslims this way, which is something I don't like. Also there might be some people who has their own excuses to stop fasting, what did they do to deserve this? It shouldn't always be blasphemers who eat in Ramadan mornings though everyone has his own freedom to do what he wants, but if the rationale behind this is that they hurt their fasting colleagues feelings or that we won't to imitate the some Gulf states than that would look more Islamic, then sorry I don't buy this crap at all.
