I completely agree.We've used California sightings before, though. That's baffling. Why is it suddenly not feasible to base the day of Eid on something we've used before? That alone makes me question whether the choice for Eid on Saturday was a decision based on convenience for all the M-F 9-5 workers.
Regardless, if we don't count California suddenly now, were there not claimed sightings way east of the world (e.g. Malaysia, Australia)? Places significantly AHEAD of us? And then Colombia which is only an hour behind us? Chile, as well?
Toronto isn't a city in which we commonly see the moon - if we limited it to being in our "vicinity" we'd always go 30 days no matter what.
E: I don't mean to come off cross or anything, it just confused me. Regardless, Eid Mubarak to everyone no matter when you celebrate. This Ramadan has been a memorable one for me, and I hope you all have a fantastic Eid.
I completely agree.
Past couple of days has been rife with moon wars in my community. It is beyond ridiculous.
my cousin who is basically my older brother.Seems like a charming gentleman/woman your friend there.
Can you just politely tell him that you know your workplace better than he does and also to kindly sod off? I mean your boss allowed it so whats the problem. Anyway, what's a panjabi?
he's 10+ years older than me and has worked in the corporate world much longer than I have. But, I don't think that should excuse a condescending attitude and disregarding anything that I may know and acting as if I know nothing about it just because I disagree.Can you just politely tell him that you know your workplace better than he does and also to kindly sod off?

For a second I thought it was some cross between a pajama and hijab. I see no problem with that dress.
Btw what's everyone's resolution after Ramadan? Mine was to incorporate 4~5 ayaats of Quran before each prayer and attend the mosque during fajr and isha as much as I can. There's also gym and study goals in the mix.
yes, I am bengali and yes, I agree.Haha I call it panjabi as well. Artisan, are you also bengali? Also, I think your cousin is needlessly upset.
yes, I am bengali and yes, I agree.
What an idiot. I'm not a Muslim but at my office when they come in for holidays dressed in traditional garb it's nothing but a water cooler conversation piece. "Why the fancy clothes today? Oh it's because etc etc have a nice day"

He's not an idiot, he is very knowledgable and I respect him for those things but here I just think he was being petty - your example is even more proof.What an idiot.

He definitely has that I know better than you attitude. It's like someone pricked his ego.@Artisan, is this the same cousin you screenshotted convos of previously? I dunno, seems like this guy has a chip on his shoulder. One of those, "you damn youths getting away with things I personally don't agree with and nobody really cares about because I'm just stuck up my own ass". Your boss approved, don't see why your cousin is getting all anal over it.
