A police raid, carried out on the first day of the holy month, on restaurants and coffee shops popular with tourists in the Ennasr district is certainly the first of its kind.

It is not important whether or not such places are frequented by non-Muslim tourists, the message is clear, those who do not fast are in every way unwelcome here.
