Something tells me their feeling will be hurt no matter what.

(MENA/Ahram) – Along with month of Ramadan, Egyptians won’t be able to purchase alcoholic beverages during 4 other major Islamic holidays, according to new decision by minister of tourism.

Egyptian Tourism Minister Mounir Fakhry Abdel-Nour has decided that prohibitions on the serving of alcoholic beverages to Egyptian citizens would be applied on all major Islamic holidays and not just during the fasting month of Ramadan, Egypt’s state news agency MENA reported on Sunday.

Serving alcohol to Egyptians during Ramadan has long been banned in Egypt out of respect for the holy month, during which Muslims tend to strictly abide by Islamic prohibitions and doctrine. According to Islamic precepts, the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden at all times.

Abdel-Nour has reportedly decided to apply the prohibition on four other days of the year: the Islamic New Year, the holiday commemorating the Israa and Me’rag, Prophet Mohamed’s birthday and the day of Arafa.

According to MENA, Abdel-Nour’s decision was made out of respect for “the feelings of Muslims.”

The serving of alcohol to Egyptians by restaurants or bars on any of these days, the decision stipulates, will result in severe legal sanctions.
