>> For such an arcane ritual the glaring rivalries between the Islamic sects**** are revealed with Muslims fervently disagreeing on which calendar to follow and when to begin their fasts (also they start arguing over whether the moon has actually be sighted).<< I am handling a custody case for a Muslim couple (he's Afghani (Dari), she's Pakistani) - this is one of the things they fight over, because they alternate Muslim holidays. When the father thinks it is the holiday and the mother doesn't, he comes over and bangs on the door and yells. Interestingly, the mother wants the child to eat only Halal foods, but the father won't agree, and takes her to McDonald's.
