Twitter Reacts to Upcoming Ramadan Holiday

by Kayla Higgins

There was a little bit of confusion Monday over when exactly Ramadan (the Islamic lunar-based fasting month) was supposed to start. According to calculations, the holiday was supposed to start last night. However, some Muslims believe Ramadan should start only with an actual moon sighting, so many will begin observing tonight. Either way, the holiday led to a pretty interesting explosion of Ramadan-related tweets. We picked some highlights to share with you:

Some were political...

Some were spiritual...

Some were a sobering reminder of what it's like to be a Muslim in this country...

And some were quite funny...

That's right, folks, Ramadan is finna here.
