30 September 2008

Wait! It's not the Eid yet!!!


Another (rather repeated) mistake has been done Monday night by the Saudi (religious) authorities, by announcing Tuesday as the first day of Eid ul-Fitr, which comes at the end of the Lunar month of the Ramadan, and the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic lunar calendar. 

The scientific resourses, indicated clearly that it was impossible to see the new moon on Monday 29 September 2008 (29 Ramadan 1429AH) simply because it was born right around sunset time, and it would also be difficult to see it on 30 September because the crescent would be so close to the sun, except in the southern hemisphere. But i have no idea how the Saudis (followed by eight other Arab countries) announced that the new moon "was seen", and that Tuesday is the first day of the Eid. 

I have to agree with the Shiites this time, since some of them announced Wednesday 1 October as the first day of the Eid; and Sistani's followers decided that Thursday would be the first day; why, because there is no Eid if there is no crescent; and it is not simply because the Saudi fluff said so!

I know what they want! They want a nation that cannot, or doesn't want to think!

They want us to be "the sheikh's sheeps", or the "Sayyid's sheeps" on the other side of the ally; but it was God who gave us brains, not them!
