Ramadan is…er, when?
You wouldn’t believe the calls that were flying back and forth today, trying to determine when everyone is starting Ramadan. The results were varied.
Council of North American Islamic Scholars : Sept 12
Morocco : Sept. 14 (according to several people we called there)
Our friend Hajib’s mosque in Washington, DC (huge Moroccan community!) : Sept 13
I looked at the moon phase calendar, and I defy anyone to spot the new moon tonight. So we’ll start on the 13th (tomorrow) - how about you?

I don’t really observe it, but my Google calendar says it starts tomorrow(13th). Yassine(my bf, in Casa) said that he doesn’t know yet, tomorrow or friday. So I’m not sure. Ramadan Mubarak!

We start today (the 13th) in France. Have not heard yet but I am sure that Morocco starts tomorrow (the 14th). They seem to always be a day behind what France does.

Ramadan is on the 13th here in Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Ramadan Mubarak to all.
