The NY Times fails to mention that Eid al-Adha falls on Sunday, September 11 in the year 2016 and Eid al-Fitr will begin at sunset on September 9 and continue to sunset on Friday September 10 in the year 2010.
These “civil dates” for the two feast days are projected by the Islamic Umm al-Qura calendar maintained by the Saudi Government. They are the earliest possible dates for sighting of the crescent moon at Mecca. The feasts may fall one or two days later depending on a Saudi “hilal committee” responsible to spot the first visible crescent moon at Mecca—so Eid al-Fitr could possibly begin at sunset on September 10 or 11 and continue into September 11 or 12, 2010. Resolution 1281 makes no mention of the date on which the Islamic feast days will be celebrated.
The Umm al-Qura calendar gives the modern "Georgian" calendar dates of six Islamic feast days and holidays until the year 2029. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are the two which will fall on September 11 soonest. The next will be Islamic New Year--1 Muharram--which will be September 11, 2018. No others fall on September 11 through 2029.

I can’t imagine even New York City approving something like this.
i’ll believe it when the ny post says this, not the hawaiian free press. no offense.
What about all the Catholics, other Christians, Jews who died on 9-11?
Why not? Once the liberals got over the shock of 9-11, they realized that Moslems are kindred spirits, sharing their hatred for capitalism, liberty, and most other Western ideals.
The Christmas holiday session will still remain being
known as the “Winter Recess” though.
After all, we can’t offend anyone, now can we.
Are the memories of the horrific deaths of 3,000 New York people to be forgotten on 911 in the quest to bend over for islamics who murdered the 3,000?
Then read it in the NY Daily News and go to the HFP link to see the Islamic calendar for yourself it is all linked in the article.

They’re trying to kill us or already have and these people are wanting an Islam holiday? Did our grandparents have a Japanese holiday in WWII????
ON SEPTEMBER 11TH!? FOR AN ISLAMIC FESTIVAL!?!
Why don’t they just go pee on the graves of the 3,000 victims of 9/11?....
Nevermind, they already HAVE.
Thank you. These idiots never cease to amaze.

The Umm al-Qura calendar gives the modern "Georgian" calendar dates
I certainly won't believe a newspaper that doesn't seem to know the word "Gregorian".
IMHO It is not the will of allah that muslims have to live in the USA. They can easily stay in their own countries where their religion & the practice of it is normal. They want to live here then they need to adapt to our way of life. We shouldn’t have to bend over & adapt to muslims or their religion. They don’t like our way of life then they need to leave asap. If America & Americans are hated so much by them then why do they need to live here?
They’re infiltrating to conquer.
Sure seems like it.
Your opinion is all well and good, pandy, but their religion tells them they are to conquer the whole world and hack your freaking head off if you don’t like it.
