Main Idea
the traditional start of Ramadan
Supporting Sentece
Ramadan traditionally starts the morning after the naked-eye sighting of the new moon, which sufficed in earlier centuries but is breaking down because of modern communications. If Muslims in Britain or France can't see the new moon because of clouds, they can simply telephone or tweet relatives in Pakistan, Bangladesh or North Africa to see if Ramadan has started there and follow suit if it has.
