"Anger has ensued following reports that the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia celebrated American Independence Day on June 4 rather than July 4 in an intentional effort not to offend Muslims in the region.As it turns out, July 4 falls right in the middle of Ramadan, an Islamic holiday that involves fasting in remembrance of what Muslims believe was a divine revelation of the Koran to Muhammad.
Ramadan, which goes from June 17 through July 17 of this year, involves both fasting and prayer."
