Ramadan Mubarak.. i think?

Firstly, Ramadan Mubarak to all!!

Secondly, what is up people starting today and tomorrow... it was moon sighting central at our place last night... whole whack of people calling and asking ... and all the masjids lines' were busy for like hours!! Then my bro finally tells us that there was a sighting in Texas... and that ICNA & ISNA have declared that Ramadan is Friday... so we were all ready to start fasting today...

THEN .....

we get word that Coopers has declared that there was no moon sighting locally or whatever and that Ramadan is starting on Saturday... and that the Hilaal Committee has also declared the same.

So, what is my problem?! Well if there was a sighting in Texas... then shouldn't we assume the same to be true locally as Texas is just one time zone away... if you're gonna go with local sightings...just a thought.

Why can't we all just get along ?!?!

I was at Coopers till almost 10:30p last night when we found out that they saw no moon. I was going to call you but I figured it was too late.

You right tho, makes things alot more confusing, I go on the ISNA website and they annouced that they saw the moon. Go figure.

Anyways, i went locally and decided to fast on Saturday.
Ramadan Mubarak to you too!
