According to Moslems the word of Allah has been sent all over the world.
The daily fasting period in Ramadan is from sunrise to sunset. Ramadan shifts about 11 days a year according to the Gregorian (solar) calendar.
Above the Artic circle, in summer the sun does not set for 6/8 weeks.

How could a Muslim living above the Artic observe the fast if Ramadan fell in a Northern summer. Starve or thirst to death?

Conversly if it fell in winter, no sun 6/8? weeks, could one ignore the fast entirely.

As the Muslim calendar is lunar and not solar this must occour maybe12 times every century. (There's another question, how many times would it happen?)

Serious answers please, I don't want answers like 90% of those I got for "Mohammed's ascension to heaven" question earlier today.
If you just want to slag off Islam or convert me to Islam you're wasting my time, I'm an athiest anyway and I'll report you for abuse.
Note well all you bible bashers out there!

About a week ago, my dog got out. When she was returned to us, she was limping. The person who found her did not mention it. My only theories on this matter are that she had her paw unintentionally crushed by a heavier object, she may have a foriegn object embedded in her paw, or she has a serious sprain, or even a broken bone. As of today, she yelps whenever pressure is applied to the paw (this can happen when she is lying down, or if I touch it) Also if I attempt to pick her up, she starts yelping and crying uncontrollably, so much that it is honestly ear-splitting. She will still walk and limp to greet people, but she cannot by any means run. But what I would really like to know is the estimate of the cost to have my dog checked by a vet. Also, are there any ideas to what may be ailing my dog? I am very worried that this may be a serious concern. Thank you.

after all the craziness when Michael captured Sheila, didn't someone say something about not letting Lauren know that Sheila was still alive? I could be dreaming but I would swear someone said that, but nothing else was ever brought up about it...did I miss something or is everyone else as lost as I am? Is Sheila still alive? And if she is, where is she?

Due to some a bit of confusion, disorganization, restructuring and lack of knowledge, the taxes of a non-profit company that I am on the board for filed their taxes late. (Very late...the penalty fee is $5000...money that the company does not have) If the company cannot pay, are the board members responsible? Is this something we are liable for?
