Misleading moonsighting Shawwal 1429
Official Decision and Announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia: Since the moon of Shawwaal was sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing twenty nine (29) days of Ramadhaan. Subsequently, we shall be celebrating 'Eed al-Fitr on Tuesday 30th September 2008, inshaa.-Allaah
Comment by www.Moonsighting.com: It was impossible to see the moon in Saudi Arabia. The moon set before sunset and moon age was only less than 7 hours.
How can anyone see the crescent moon after sunset when the crescent moon sets before the sunset..
SAUDI IS MISLEADInG ENTIRE GCC ...

while in Canada all muslim not celebrate Eid untill seeing the cresent the night before.Muslims in western country are not following Suadi Arabia
I found this odd too. So much is made of the importance of following what the Koran/Mohammed says, including using the moon for things like Ramadan/Eid, and then they just seem to pick a day that suits them for Eid to start.
Interesting- why in this day and age is there not proof of the moon sighting with photos that are published?
