Assalamualaikum dear brother.The starting of Ramadhan is depend on where we live.In Indonesia we muslims will start fasting tomorrow on Thursday September 13.Indonesia and USA have a time difference 12 hours.So I think you should start fasting on Wednesday September 12,2007 since down up to sunset.We are fasting in Indonesia for about 14 hours a day..Salam for you band I hope God will always bless you.

In KSA it is confirmed Thursday is the first of Ramadan.
Even you have not sighted the moon, you have to follow the Muslim community around you.

The new moon rises with sun-that's why you didn't see it.

I am not muslim, but I suggest you contact your imam for guidance.
