On Monday, September 28, Jews around the world will celebrate Yom Kippur, fasting and seeking to begin the new lunar year with a clean slate. The holy day is traditionally celebrated after one has paid debts and sought forgiveness for any wrongs.
For the Israelis, in 1973, it included having to go to war after a sneak attack by Syria and Egypt.
It is not a coincidence that the Muslim month of Ramadan occurs during this same period. Muhammad borrowed a lot of Judaism, but he brought to his new religion some decidedly Arab traits and one of them was intolerance. When a Jewish tribe residing in Arabia refused to acknowledge him as the prophet of Allah, he had all the men executed and the women and children sold into slavery.
When Muslims captured Jerusalem, Judaism’s and Christianity’s most holy city, they chose a site sacred to Jews to build a mosque, al Qud, on the Temple Mount. In Islamic mythology, it is the site where Mohammad ascended to Heaven to meet his fellow prophets after flying to Jerusalem in a dream. There is no indication he ever set foot in Israel, nor is Jerusalem even mentioned by name in the Koran. One of the reasons for the Crusades was to restore Jerusalem to its rightful owners.
In a fashion that Jews and Christians can never quite understand, Islam insists that it is the only religion that should be practiced on the planet. While it gives lip service to Judaism and Christianity because the two faiths have a holy book, it holds Hinduism, Buddhism, and other faiths in complete contempt for lack of a similar scripture.

The Capitol celebration will be led by Sheikh Ahmed Dewider, a Manhattan cleric who reportedly once said that “through the domination of Islam and its ideas, the White House will change” and expressed the hope that someday the White House would become the Muslim House.
According to The New York Times, the main organizer of the event, Hassen Ibn Abedellah, was “the most aggressively combative of the lawyers” representing the terrorists who staged the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Abdellah has claimed that Zionists “control the government, the politics, the economy, and the media in the U.S.”
Ramadan does not usually coincide with Yom Kippur. the Hebrew calendar makes periodic corrections by adding a whole month in leap years to being the lunar calendar in line with the solar calendar. Islam makes no such corrections to its calendar. Ramadan can occur at just about any time during the solar calendar year because every year it is earlier than the year before.
Their timing on having the “Islamic Day of Prayer” today in front of the nation’s Capitol couldn’t have been worse considering this week’s terrors news. Ironic really.
Yes, ramadan rotates. It will be in summer before too long. Actually, I guess it IS in summer now.
Considering it was raining like a pig this morning, I have to agree.
Here is the DC traffic cam. NBC will say millions marched.

I think it worked out well for non-Muslims. They can hit the streets in a show of unity but are silent on the news this week.

Yes, I noticed the writer/editor got the date wrong - it is September 25. Perhaps you can email the writer with your other comments. Although technically, part of Friday is still considered part of the Jewish Sabbath.
By your and my standards of time, yes technically you are right. I believe the same would be true under the Jewish observance of time, as it relates to the civil observances.
As for religious observances, they still utilize the sunset to sunset observance.
I apologize for taking the comments in your first post, to be your own. I try not to do that, but evidently did here.

no need to add the flash player offer, it starts anyway..
Good meeting for the FBI/CIA to use maybe?
hAVING THE GREAT SPEECHES BY Qaddafi and Ahmadinejad this week highlights why America must continue supporting freedom loving countries like Israel.
An islamic Day of Prayer is a real unique thing when all Islam stands for is death to Jews and Christans.
I bet the MSM will tell you that 1,500,000 muzzies showed up today unlike the 25,000 on 912.
Not seeing a lot of White faces in that crowd....and they are getting way more coverage than the 9-12 protest that had up to 2 million...
You Lie!
Are they praying for a successful attack on the U.S.????????
Thanks.
