Sources: Gulf News and Libya public holidays. Dr Waheeb Al Nasser, a physics professor at the University of Bahrain, issued a statement that he expected Libya to be the first to observe the beginning of Ramadan, on September 12, 2007. Note that the first day of the month Ramadan is not a public holiday in Libya, nor is it in many other Muslim countries.Due to this year's ninth New Moon timing in relation to sunset, Dr. Al Nasser's calculations agree with the predictions made on the Q++ Studio web site, namely that the rest of the Muslim world will most likely be divided between the 13th (Saudi Arabia and most of the Arabian Peninsula) and the rest of the Muslim world, particularly in South-East Asia.
