Eid Eid Eid

Last weekend was Eid ul Fitr. This is normally celebrated after a months fasting. Thankfully my fasting went well (I now eat half as much as I used so therefore should lose some weight!!).

Now I was looking forward to Eid because its a day to celebrate, dress up, eat good food, spend the day with friends and family. And every year this celebration is marred by people debating the actual start of Eid.
The islamic calender is lunar based. So a month can be 29 or 30 days. Ramadan (month of fasting) is suppose to last 1 lunar month and Eid ul Fitr follows when the new moon has been sighted.
I dont understand why this has become a topic to debate among muslims. why do we insist on having 20 different interpretatins when Eid is??? Some follow Saudi Arabia. Some follow their nearest mulsim country (Morocco). Some follow their local Mosque. Some look up the moon position on the internet.

I mean its EID!! Stop arguing about whose right and wrong and just celebrate altogether! We cannot be united as 1 nation if people insist on having a billion interpretations for every thing that we do!

(Gets my goat it does!)
