Eid Ul Fitr 2008 - Divided We Fall

Eid Mubarak to all!

Eid this year was on October 1st, although some people had there Eid the day before.

It's always a shame when muslims in the same town are celebrating eid on seperate days. The reason it was split this year is because one mosque was following Saudi Arabia whilst the others were following the UK. I think the mosques following the UK were correct as we live in the UK!

A group of well qualified islamic scholars needs to get together and form a body that governs all mosques in the UK, this body should then dictate which days the important muslim days fall on each year. We should base our eid on moon sightings in the UK. We can call this team the I.D.V (Islamic Date Verifiers).

Anyway, enough of my ranting, back to work...
