As I've remarked before, I could make this stuff up, but frankly, that'd be too much work.
From Islam Online.net:
French Muslim leaders have called for "independence" from their native countries in sighting Ramadan’s moon, saying the annual event should be purely French.
"Moon sighting by the French Council for Muslim Faith (CFCM) shouldn’t be influenced by home country affiliations," Wahid Mansour, the chairman of the Pakistani Cultural Coordination Center, told IslamOnline.net Monday, October 3.
He charged that CFCM officials fix the beginning of the holy fasting month in France to their native countries.
"Pakistanis, for instance, automatically follow the start of Ramadan in Pakistan," he said.
Ahmet Bakan, the head of the Turkish Milli Gurus, agreed.
"French Muslims should be self-independent and sight the Ramadan’s moon from France," he stressed.
