Why did the Founding Fathers declare independence during Ramadan?

Seems like Thanksgiving or Christmas would have been better.

Those Muhammadans were barely making a notice compared to the Brits. It took 26 27 more years before they were taking enough seamen to piss off TJ.
It did get the US Navy kick off though.

We must be a Muslo-Christian nation

Ramadan follows a different calendar. I have no idea if July 4, 1776 fell during Ramadan.

And yes, you are correct, Ramadan began on Oct 3rd in 1776.

That's why the founding fathers celebrated Halloween on Oct.31st. So everyone could break fast and eat their candy after one day.

No way, they declared independence because the rulers were keeping all the Chicken flavored Ramadan and giving us the crappy Shrimp Ramadan.

Fuck yeah it is, rather eat it plain and uncooked no seasoning. Being poor we would save the shrimp packets and mix them in with chicken if we were making more than 6 or 7 packs at once.
