This has nothing to do with human rights. It's just saying "be sensitive". If you take out the words Muslim and Ramadan, the person you're eating in front of could be anyone who is fasting, or even on a strict diet. It's the same thing as smoking in front of someone who is trying to quit.

Except that eating is a necessity to live in smoking is not.

This is like asking a meat eater to stop eating meat just because the person sitting next to them is vegetarian. Or it's like asking a vegetarian to eat meat because they are eating dinner with a meat eater.

Demanding that another party "respect" or be "sensitive" to your food *choices* is over the top.

I am a human being. I need to eat. If you need to fast, that's totally fine... but don't get upset when I'm eating. Simply go to the other room.
