This is one of the worst things of Islam. Fasting on the wrong months due to the calendar not being correct to the actual sun and planetary movements! Plus Mohammad was really only in a small geographic area - and didn't account for areas where the sun is longer during the same type of year (summer in Southern Hemisphere vs. winter in North).

Islam leaders are letting their people die instead of holding onto the spirit of the fasting. it should be done at the same time every year with reasonable weather! Letting it shift around year to year due to literal following of a incorrect calendar is not teaching followers Love, Compassion, or understanding. Really, Islam needs a huge dose of Sufi shifting - hate and anger and fighting over rules is a mess.

They do not even use this calendar for agricultural purposes because it would not work. So why kill their own followers by having fasting at the worst time of the year? The year is not 354 days long! Sad, sad, sad!
