Right, but once again- is she in a position where she could not afford to buy herself a book?
Here's a better anaolgy for those of us who have never been in the situation that these kids are in. If you were in the middle of the ocean, on a liferaft, no food or water, had been there for 6 days like that. Then a ship pulls up and pulls you out of the water. It's an ship full of Muslims, they explain it Ramadan (spelling appologies), and they are fasting. You are welcome on the ship, but must pray with them for 3 hours, then you can join them for a feast. Would you ask them to lower you and your liferaft back into the water?
