Ramadan or Ramadhan (Arabic : رمضان) is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Prayers, sawm (fasting), charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time.
The name came from the time before the Islamic calendar, when the month of Ramadan fell in the summer. The word Ramadan is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat, scorched ground, and shortness of rations.

Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. The month is spent fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to dusk. Fasting during this month is often thought to figuratively burn away all sins. Muslims believe that the Qur'an was sent down to the earth during this month. Furthermore, the prophet Muhammad told his followers that the gates of Heaven would be open all the month and the gates of Hell would be closed.

The first day of the next month is spent in celebrations and is observed as the ‘Festival of Breaking Fast’ or `Eid ul-Fitr. Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr (Arabic : عيد الفطر), often abbreviated as simply Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. Fitr means "to break the fast" and therefore symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. On the day of the celebration, a typical Muslim family is awake very early and then after praying the first normal everyday prayer, is required to eat in a small quantity, symbolizing the end of Ramadan. They then attend special congregational prayers held only for this occasion in mosques, in large open areas, stadiums or arenas. The prayer is generally short, and is followed by a sermon (khutba). Worshippers greet and embrace each other in a spirit of peace and love after the congregational prayer. After the special prayers, festivities and merriment are commonly observed with visits to the homes of relatives and friends to thank God for all blessings.

Just wanted to say this all.
I myself am Roman Catholic but learned the last 35 years a lot about true, normal, modern Moslims. As I stated earlier on my Blog we could go along very well.
On the other hand there are few extreme Muslims who want to go back to the 15th century.....
They cause the trouble.
They don't see/recognice the rules are given in that certain period of time.
I don't wanna go (more..) into politics (right now...) but just an example.
