Coincidence?
Obama takes his vacation during Ramadan. He told the press he will not be available during his 11 day vacation. We're told that the facility is very private. Perhaps the family participate in the rituals. The following is an excerpt from a Muslim website here in America. I seem to recollect that he also took a vacation during his campaign and I wouldn't be suprised if it was the same date.
Welcome to a celebration of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. Observed by more than one billion Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting, self-sacrifice and prayers.
Celebrated during the ninth month of Islamic calendar, the fast is observed each day from sunrise to sunset. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five Pillars of Islam. The Islamic belief that requires that Muslims perform five central duties in order to strengthen their faith. While Islam has two major sects, the Sunnis and the Shiites, all Muslims aim to realize these five pillars in their lifetime. Ramadan concludes with a 3-day festival known as "Eid" or "Eid ul-Fitr," which literally means "the feast of the breaking/to break the fast." The holiday marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and is a culmination of the month-long struggle towards a higher spiritual state.
Ramadan 2009: The first day of Ramadan (fasting) in North America according to sighting, is expected to be August 22.
