So the Ministry of Islamic Affairs announced that Eid will not start tonight but tomorrow night. They were unable to spot the light of the Crescent Moon. It was expected, most months in the Islamic Calendar are 30 days, with the occasional one being 29 days. Eid would have started tonight if the month had been 29 days.
One more day of fasting to go.
In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .
