[edit] Comment
The sentence, "However, it is an ordinary month for non-Muslims that live in the countries that use the Islamic calendar." seems a bit superflous to me. Perhaps it should be deleted.

[edit] merger?
since ramadan is in fact not a holiday but just the month, why does this page exist? why is this information not on the same page as the other ramadan entry? i didnt see any discussion on the issue. it just doesnt make sense to me. Yung Wei 19:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- See Talk:Ramadan. The split was the result of a long discussion in December 2005. However, feel free to request a merger; I'd probably even support it. -- tariqabjotu 19:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ten days
"Each year, Ramadan begins ten days earlier than in the previous year." How often have I heard that! But it's not true, as the table shows. Some years it occurs eleven days earlier than the previous year, and occasionally twelve. I'm hesitant to change the statement myself, considering that the cited source also makes the claim, but I find the inaccuracy unsettling. Unfree (talk) 12:29, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Can Ramadam start twice in the same year?
If it's 10 days earlier than the previous year, is it possible, that in one calendar year, there could be a start of Ramadan in January and December? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.35.159 (talk) 01:16, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
It is a blessed month in Islam.
[edit] "one of the holy months"
what are the other ones?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Does the claim that Ramadan is "the month in which the Qur'an was revealed." break NPOV? Shouldn't it be "the month in which, Muslims believe, the Qur'an was revealed." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.253.132 (talk) 23:37, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- No. Your proposal is equally biased. "by tradition" could do. Gabriel Kielland (talk) 07:40, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Operation Badr
Not sure if this even belongs in the event section, but if it's included it should at least be accurate. The war was not a comprehensive defeat of Egypt as previously stated.Eiad77 (talk) 14:03, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
but with Egypt regaining foothold on the occupied land and an overall Egyptian political success? funny if that is a success i don't know what failure is....why does this sentance have to be there at all just link it to the yom kippur war page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.68.16.91 (talk) 05:42, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
