"Ramadan represents the ninth month of the Islamic year, the month in which the Koran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. According to Muslim tradition, the actual revelation occurred on the night between the 26th and 27th days of the month. On this "Night of Determination," Allah determines the fate of the world for the coming year."

There is a certain irony to the revelation that Allah is going to reveal our fate while Americans are preparing to dress up like the Devil, witches, and evil characters and send our children out into the night seeking candy from strangers.

Since Ramadan began on September 23, the "Night of Determination" will be the 19-20 of October, Thursday-Friday this week. If this is a real warning then it would seem that this would be the probable date for the attack or why else mention it? Surely in their demented thinking, Allah would determine that this would be the time to bring down the US.

Hey, wait... I've seen this before. The "Choose the form of the Destructor" part comes next, right?

We've already tried the polite approach:

"Gozer the Gozerian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activities and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."

It doesn't seem to be working. The alternative is to "...show this prehistoric b!tch how we do things downtown." Works for me.
