I'm a Christian and I'm just curious. If there is something muslims celebrate, do people have their individual traditions, too, like people who celebrate Christmas do? Thanks.

To Ray G - I expected informative answers but I never expected the hateful vengeful answer you gave. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies.

Eid al-Adha-(Festival of Sacrifice) One of the two main Islamic festivals (the other is 'Id al-Fitr), this festival falls on the 10th day of the lunar month of Zul-Hijja and is the concluding act of pilgrimage to Makkah. In commemoration of Abraham's faith, sheep, goats and camels are offered to God, and the meat is distributed to the poor and needy. 'Id al-Adha is observed whether or not one is on pilgrimage.
What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the name of the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, all observant Muslims observe the Fast of Ramadan between dawn (fajr), and sunset (maghrib).
During Ramadan evenings, Muslims eat small meals and visit with friends and family. It is a time of worship and contemplation. A time to strengthen family and community ties.
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr.

Muslims are celebrating the Eid Al-Adha. This year it falls on the weekend at the end of December. On this day, they slaughter an animal, usually a sheep or goat. They do this because they remember when Prophet Abraham(PBUH) was going to slaughter his son for Allaah, but he slaughtered a sheep in its place.

there is a celebrate called (Eid al-adha) in the coming Saturday according the 10th day of the lunar month (thu alhijah).
people (only who had the ability ) go to mecca to do the pilgrimage or (hajj) at least once in their lives .
its really amazing and the most spiritual days to me when you see millions of Muslims gather in a one place wearing the same clothes you can't recognize the rich or poor, educated or not , even happy or sad , they all the same came to do one specifies duty (Only to Please The God The Only Creator ).
i cannot wait ^_^
happy eid !!!

Bringing evil upon Christians and Jews as the Koran teaches...
"Those (Christians and Jews) are they whom Allah hath cursed." 4:52
Don't take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them. 5:51
Christians are wrong about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom. 5:73
Fight against Christians and Jews "until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low." 9:29
Christians and Jews are perverse. Allah himself fights against them. 9:30
The "Religion of Truth" (Islam) must prevail, by force if necessary, over all other religions. 9:33

What do they have to be happy about? Have you read their book of hate and lies?
