Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which Muslims believe the Quran was revealed. Muslims believe that the Quran was sent down during this month, thus being prepared for gradual revelation by Jibraeel (Gabriel) to the Prophet Muhammad. The month is spent by Muslims fasting during the daylight hours from dawn to sunset. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 10 JULY 2013 - PATTANI, PATTANI, THAILAND: A woman drops her children off at a private Muslim school in Pattani under a billboard using Muslim citizens to Thailand to be peaceful. Many Muslim parents prefer to send their children to Muslim private schools because they are safer (public schools have been attacked by Muslim insurgents), the Muslim schools teach an Islam centric curriculum and teach what many in Pattani consider a more accurate version of Pattani history.

  • Sept. 25, 2009 -- PATTANI, THAILAND: Men gather for Friday prayers in the Central Mosque in Pattani, Thailand. The mosque's Imam said a special prayer on this day for the Thai King who is in a hospital in Bangkok. Pattani's Central Mosque is considered the most architecturally striking mosque in Thailand and was a leading tourist site until the current violence put an end to mass tourism in Pattani. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.
