News is coming that the moon has been sighted in Pakistan, shortly after the former science minister gave a statement that it would be scientifically impossible to sight the moon in Pakistan tonight. Rumour has it that the prime minister’s wife, the peerni as she is known, declared that Eid could not be on Friday as that would mean two khutbas, or sermons, read on the same day, which presages the fall of rulers.
So, Eid Mubarak, I guess?
