Nothing strange with this and no reason to worry.

'Eid-ul-Fitr, the Festival of Fast-Breaking.
The celebration at the end of Ramadan is called 'Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking). It is a joyous occasion, similar to Christmas in its celebration but with strong religious significance. The giving of a special charity for this occasion is obligatory. Muslims dress in holiday attire, attend a special community prayer in the morning, and visit friends and relatives. Greetings of "'Eid mubarak," or "a blessed 'Eid" are exchanged. In some places, children are given gifts or money by their parents and relatives.

I don't care what the EID festivities are...I was answering a post regarding "Do you think there will be an attack before Thanksgiving?"
I was posting a snip from a terrorist or wanna be terrorist where he mentions his "The Gift of Eid" and I looked up the date and moon cycles which also coordinate with this guy's site.

Thank you for the info though Mr. Smith.
