Many Muslims, including in Holy Land, start marking month of Ramadan after moon sighting

[israelTimes] Annual holy month involves daily fasting, prayer and giving of charity; IDF publishes social media post wishing Muslims a peaceful Ramadan.

Expect more Sudden Jihad Syndrome attacks, plans or execution of big terror attacks, and general crankiness from those starved and sleep-deprived during the day. Situational awareness as always, and kindness to those who need it.

1 Ramadan, Lent, amd the Cninese Lunar New Year all on the same day. I asked Claude, and ai told me the last time that happened was 1863.

I don't remember that time well. March 1863 was a lull in the American Civil War so I took a little vacation to the Islands.

The East Indies? Quite a commute.

4 Even Death needs a holiday once in a while.

As for Ramadan, I have not seen the crescent moon, but I did stock up on bacon at the grocery.
