The holy fasting month in Islam, the Ramadan, starts today. It's a month Muslims claim to be meant for inculcating self-restraint, spirituality and for comprehending the pain of the less fortunate in society. But our author Mirza Ghalib has already told us that for the Saudis, the kins of the holy prophet, Ramadan is a month of fun, frolicking, and indulgence. And historically Ramadan was born as a month of Jihad and the most illustrious Jihad wars of Islam -- from the Battle of Badr to that of Tours (732) to the initiation of Jihad for the independence of Pakistan (1946-47) --- were all conducted in sacred Ramadan. Following two articles in our site would help our new readers understand what Ramadan is all about.

The dreadful and deplorable killings in Norway last week cannot be justified whatever reasons the perpetrator, an extremist belonging to the Christian faith, had for it. However, ignoring the real reasons, the reasons that drive individuals and groups to such acts of violence can prove detrimental as more frustration will bring nothing but more such madness to the European society.

Muhammad violated too many of Allah's divine laws at whims to serve his interests, desires and lust. He was, thus, an apostate of Islam. He managed to avoid the punishment of apostasy -- death by beheading -- on earth. But what's happening to him in next life. Frolicking with 72 heavenly whores? The Quran may give an inkling (46.9): "I do not know what will be done to me"

"Children of Adam are akin to members of a body; if a member suffers, thus suffers the entire body," a Persian poet (Sa’di) expressed it best, centuries ago. We Iranians are deeply saddened by the savage acts of a deranged individual(s) (Anders Behring Breivik) who, on a rampage of rage, took the life of members of our human family in Norway.
We offer our condolences and share in the grief of the families who lost their dear ones in this dastardly senseless act of violence. May this tragedy honor the memory of those innocent lost lives by strengthening the resolve of all of us to do all we can to prevent such bloodletting in the future.
The world is indeed a global village and we are its villagers. It is our sacred duty to live by the standards of civility, under the shelter of responsible liberty, with abiding respect for the sanctity of life.

The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan may begin on August 1 this year. Or perhaps it will not. The start of Ramadan must be determined by religious clerics observing the new moon with the naked eye. Also, Ramadan may begin in different countries on different days – because the new moon appears on different days as it orbits the earth. Islamic obsession with physically observing the new moon obscures the embarrassing truth that the accuracy of time doesn’t really matter much in Islam.
