A community portal about Ramadan with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The fourth pillar of Islam which is fasting is also called Ramadan – or Ramzan in several countries – and it is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, established in the year 638. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, fasting, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month. God prescribes daily fasting for all able, adult Muslims during the whole month of Ramadan, beginning with the sighting of the new moon.

One of Europe's leading Muslim scholars, Tariq Ramadan, told French lawmakers Wednesday they were failing to address the real problems facing French Muslims by debating whether to ban the burqa. Swiss-born Ramadan told a parliamentary inquiry holding hearings on the wearing of the full Islamic veil that a law banning the practice would simply force Muslim women who cover themselves to "stay at home".
"This debate surrounding the burqa bothers...
As predictable as locusts, the "keep Christ in Christmas" letters have started in the Baraboo papers this year, and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.Today's letter, in the form of a poem, struck me for this line: "Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa ...
