As to fuel the paranoia in from a totally innocous source that has completely legitimate(subjectively) reasons for doing so.
I'll state the following. I work for a company in New Jersey. We employ a number of Muslims who are quite nice, friendly folks.
Two of them demanded to have next week off for Ramadan. It is our busy season and we don't generally allow vacations during this period.
Yes, Yes, I know. You don't need to slam me. Anecdotal, completely innocuous, totally alarmist, it was simply an observation that hit me this morning after this subject was breached on another a different board that I frequent. The firestorm has been here on FR though.
I'll tenderly ask their plans tomorrow. Shrug. Complete BS, yes, I KNOW! Just struck me oddly after reading the warning.

Why don't you ask them what are the "most special" days in the Ramadan season?
If they say the 9th and the 23rd, well....
Something to think about, I guess.
