It's the same kind of question that gets asked of Christians and it's absolutely an attempt to cut into the faith. Trying to poke holes in religious texts is just obnoxious.
I'm not religious but subscribe to the attitude that we should just let people practice whatever faith they want so long as it doesn't impact upon the rights of those not of the same belief system. I.e. it's fine for Christians to hold other Christians to account, but not to impose their will on others.
This is of course something that a lot of religions struggle with, but it's a best effort thing. I think a lot of societies are starting to get that.
In any case, Happy Eid Mubarak to all that have been observing Ramadan (this will be my only post on this thread, so it's here or nowhere).
