#2Happened in Guatemala. The Christian populace rebelled against DST and insisted that all meetings be scheduled on "God's time" (an hour different from official "government time"). After 6 months of chaos, the government gave up and did not repeat DST the next year.

This is probably to the wrong crowd, but Why are orthodox religious people adamant on doing God's way? I mean if you believe everything is part of God's plan why can't you just accept the change of lifestyle over decades of human development. Humans built religion, religions didn't make humans.

I wonder if the irony of paraphrasing Christ was intentional? I suspect that you have learned this idiom without realizing its origins.

#6The government postponed dst for the month of Ramadan. But Christian churches challenged this. This is hate to the point of nuisance.

I think more people than one can come up with this thought independently. It's not a far stretch.

Bullshit
People are pissed because it was announced and implemented last minute.
A leaked video shows of the head of parliament discussing this as if he’s in a flea market. The same guy that’s been there for almost 30 years.

Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for the them the time change would have an effect as if sunset was at 7 before so they had time to get off from work and break their fast at home. I don't think the time change opposition is for religious reasons but more because of convenience reasons.
