Giving God his due

Quote of the Day: Muslim leader Wajdi Said

"Everyone knows (April 15) is the day on which you give the
government what you owe. Ramadan is the time in which you give God what you
owe."

-- Wajdi Said, executive director of the Oregon-based Muslim Educational
Trust, comparing the day federal income taxes are due to the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan, which is marked by fasting, alms giving and prayer. He was
quoted in The Oregonian of Portland, Ore.
