Looks like Eid is on Wendnesday 1.10.2008! Its so cool to have everyone doing Eid on the same day, but i dont think its anything amazing like Muslims are "Finally" starting to "unite" and come together just because we are having Eid on the same day. Personally i think its better that we have Eid on diffrent days because it highlights the diversity within the Ummah and the flexibility provided by Islamic Shariah. Unfortunately, i think some Muslims have lost sight of the greater goal of uniting upon the PRINCIPLES set by the Prophet, peace be upon him, about Ramadan, moon sighting, and Eid. Instead in our short sightedness we focus on the superficial things and demand that everyone follow one way. Then on top of that we cloak it in this idea that this will unite us or is an example of our unity!
Hmmm perhaps im wrong and just ranting for no reason...well...those are my thoughts.
