CAIR-Chicago is urging the Illinois American Muslim community to thank Congressman Peter Roskam (R-6) for his recent efforts to publicly recognize the holy month of Ramadan in the House of Representatives.

(CHICAGO, IL - 9/28/06) CAIR is asking members of the American Muslim community to contact local postmasters and request that they stock the stamp commemorating Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha when it is re-issued on October 6, 2006, as part of the "Holiday Series." In past years, there have been reports that the Eid stamp was unavailable in some post offices

Aside from the Thanksgiving holiday, Muslim-Americans also celebrated Eid al Fitr, or the end of Ramadan, the holiest period to those of the Islamic faith.
