I am not well versed in Ramadan, however, I do know that it is a month of fasting -- a peaceful month, and one of the holiest holidays of the religion.
When would you have liked this article to appear?
In August or February, perhaps? Or probably, never!

Why should a local paper not give recognition to a major religion's holy month, regardless of when it falls during the year?
Ramadan follows a lunar calendar and this year it happened to fall during the Memorial Day weekend.
So what!
The press has also given major acknowledgement to our veterans and the Memorial Day holiday.

The press also always has articles relating to Christmas, Chanukah, Easter, Passover, etc., and they are timely published when the holidays are current.

Your comment is waaaayyyyy off base and an embarrassment!
