Miracle’ baby born in Bethlehem
Palestinians in the West Bank town of Bethlehem have been visiting the nearby Aida refugee camp to see an infant many are calling a “miracle baby”. The boy has gained attention for being born with a large birthmark across his cheek that roughly forms in Arabic letters the name of his uncle, Ala, a Hamas militant killed eight months earlier by Israeli troops after he was suspected of having planned a suicide bombing. The family, devout Muslims, called it a divine message of support for the Palestinian people. The baby was born in November 2003 on the 27th day of the holy month of Ramadan, revered as the night the Koran was revealed to the prophet Mohammed. The imam from the camp’s main mosque pronounced the birthmark a “gift from God”. The infant’s grandmother, Aysha Ayyad, said the birthmark was a sign that “the soldiers can kill our sons but not our spirit”. She voiced hope that Israelis and Palestinians would make peace and allow her grandson to grow up free from violence. (Source: Reuters)

Hmmm.. I interpreted that to mean November 27th. However, upon reflection, there is the possibility that the days of Ramadan and of the month of November are not exactly the same but merely overlap.. I don't really know.

"Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic year. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, Ramadan falls at different times of the year."

The full moon was on the 8th of November,so do they count from there?
