“Muslims in North America will begin their observance of Ramadan 1433, or 2012 in more familiar terms, on July 20 or 21, depending on whether a crescent moon was sighted on July 19, the 29th day of the lunar month. Muslim children grow up with the idea. They watch their parents and older siblings fast, and many are eager to try it before they reach puberty, when it’s required of them.“
