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!

Perhaps because as far as I know there aren't Muslims living in The Villages and it isn't relevant.
I would also like to say that I support the temporary ban on immigrants from Muslim Countries that harbor ISIS.. According to an article that I can link from Reuters published four days ago, there are 23000 Islamic Jihadists living in UK. That is a bunch of potentially not peaceful people and I don't want that many living in this country.
