Muslim, Christian holidays in Israel nothing more than campaign opportunity for politicians Jews usually mix-up Ramadan with Id al-Fitr. They think of Ramadan as a month-long holiday of happy fasting and dancing in the streets, whereas Id al-Fitr is some sort of undefined vagary that must represent an Islamic slaughter sometime in history. Would it really matter if Jews learned to differentiate between three happy days of this festival and the exhausting month that precedes it? Nah, don't worry about it. The Muslims will drink Coke and slaughter a sheep, just as long as they continue celebrating these strange days...
