Clinton condemns Quran-burning plan

Palestinian women read the Quran at the mosque in Gaza city on 12 August 2010. The start of Ramadan, the ninth and holiest month in the Muslim calendar, is traditionally determined by the sighting of a new moon, which often divides Islamic nations over exactly when to begin the festival. Throughout the month, followers are required to abstain from food, drink and sex from dawn to dusk. Activity peaks between "iftar", the breaking of the fast at sunset, and "suhur", the last meal of the day before sunrise. (photo by Ahmed Deeb/WN)
