The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Fiqh Council has communicated to the Muslim community in the US that September 23rd, tomorrow, is the first day of fasting. Islamic days begin at sunset, so the first day of Ramadan has already begun in America.
Depending on the observation of the new moon, different places on the Earth may experience tomorrow or the day after as their first day.

"The specific date will not be known until the night before, as it depends on the actual visible sighting of the crescent moon that marks the beginning of the Islamic month."
And the decision is....
First day of fasting- Ramadan begins (24 September 2006)
Celebration & break the fast - Eid Al-Fitr (23 October 2006)
"Moon-Sighting at Ramadan
There is a debate among the Muslim community on just how to calculate the beginning of the month of Ramadan (or indeed any month, but Ramadan takes on special importance). The traditional method, mentioned in the Qur'an and followed by the Prophet Muhammad, is to look to the sky and visibly sight the slight crescent moon (hilal) that marks the beginning of the month. If one sees the hilal at night, the next day is the first day of Ramadan and thus the first day of fasting. At the end of the month, when the community sights the hilal again, the Festival of Fast-Breaking ('Eid al-Fitr) begins."

Who cares? It does not have anything to do with God.
