I guess I'm not following you. Ramadan has been around the end of the year (Nov. - Dec.) for as long as I can remember. I don't recall it ever falling in June.

Ramandan is the 9th month of the Muslim calendar.... The calendar is based upon a lunar month and 12 lunar months make a year (354 days). Thus the Muslim calendar is 11 days shorter than the calendar (Julian) we observe. So in 34 years it will cycle through all the seasons back to it's original starting point.

deport - thanks for the clarification.

I still don't see how it bares on the article. Why shouldn't Steyn get a bump just because Ramadan floats around the Julian calendar?
