Question by Tarre: Why doesn’t yahoo simply put the date Ramadan starts on the top of this section so people stop asking?
When is Ramadan in 2009?
Ramadan in 2009 will start on Friday, the 21st of August and will continue for 30 days until Saturday, the 19th of September.

Based on sightability in North America, in 2009 Ramadan will start in North America a day later – on Saturday, the 22nd of August.

Note that in the Muslim calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Thursday, the 20th of August.
If I had a dime for every time someone asked when Ramadan STARTS!LOL
