I dont want t o confront that guy anyway. i checked witha colleague and came to know that it is not right for a moslim to worship even mohammed.moon that appears ina small curve is just a sign of the new month.It is not a savior.
May be chris is right,, but that brings up the point, islam is an open source software, sort of any mulla can interpret it anyway.
For example, during the last month, we had a tough time, a s the local law here, insisted no one should eat in public ,lest those who are fasting are tempted to eat.
One could be imprisoned till the end of ramadan, if found smoking or eating in public, during the fasting day light hours!
One good moslim friend told me this is stupid and unislamic law , forced by the sick saudi clergy to control people.
Actually, it was told , mohammed, the prophet,was reported cooking food for some non moslim visitor, while he was fasting, and the visitor found the food tastiest ever.
So it is not necessary, that the temptation to eat be removed from the sight of the person fasting.
True moslim and islam, cant be so bad a s it is today!
But then true christian and true christianity is much different from the so called christians too
