[quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish; there's a lunar calendar for our holidays. We know when the holidays will fall for the next 100 years (or more, but my calendar is just a 100-year one). So for Muslim holidays, which also follow a lunar calendar, why don't they know whether Eid will fall on Sunday, Sept. 11 or Monday, Sept. 12 this year? I wouldn't care except I live in Montgomery County which is closing classes on Monday, Sept. 12 because Eid might fall then. WTF? Why don't they know? It follows the moon--we know a lot about the moon. Arab astronomers probably were among the first to chart the moon's path. Thanks for helping me out with this. As you can tell, I'm not thrilled with classes being canceled, but at least I'd like to understand more about the Muslim calendar. [/quote]
