Mich. school Practices 11 p.m. to 4 a.m To Accomodate Muslims During Ramadan

From ESPN:


DEARBORN, Mich. -- A Michigan high school football team is holding preseason practices in the middle of the night to help its Muslim players practice both faith and football.

The predominantly Muslim squad from Dearborn says the nocturnal regimen is a way for players to eat and drink while observing the holy month of daytime fasting known as Ramadan that started last week.

And I am 'sure' they will stop practice at around 6 PM on Yom Kippur and ROsh Hashanah.

One can only wonder.

I'm sure there are a lot of tolerant moderate Muslims in Dearborn.
