ramadan itself is not a month off for muslims, they work despite the fact that they're fasting during the day.
however, the last 3 days of the month are a muslim holiday... and those are the days you might want to consider. i think muslims take them off anyways, same as happens with members of other "minority faiths".
also, bear in mind that the muslim calendar shifts by about 10 days every year so the holiday will be celebrated on different dates each time.

Well Muslims are getting time off at work to pray and time off at school to pray so that would more than add up to a Federal Holiday. They are getting feet washers in airports and colleges, are allowed to discriminate against passengers in their taxi cabs while some of them are shouting death to the infidel and the islamic flag should be flying over the White House, so I think we are playing favorites or maybe being too PC to not offend the religion that wants to dominate the world. Let's pray that ramadan never becomes a Federal Holiday or else we are in serious trouble.
God Bless.

I agree with inat. This is America and American's live here. ALL Foreignors that come here have to be Americans. You left your Country, you live that way of life behind. Playing favorites is not in favor of American's. Bush and past Presidents play favor's for the foreignors! You guys are the "cream of the crop" with these nasty politician's! You all got your ways with government so I vote that you all pay the higher taxes!

The U.S is a Christian country, and nobody is forcing you to live here.
Being an American is an honor and a privilege; if you cannot appreciate it, move out!!!
