During the month of Ramadan, there is a special program on CJRN at local 
sunset consisting of prayers, Koran readings and Arabic chanting.  It's been 
aired on CJRN for the past few years during Ramadan, presumably directed to 
the large Muslim community in the Toronto area, rather than, say, an 
al-Qaeda sleeper cell in greater Buffalo!

Today is a Jewish/Islam/Hindu triple convergence: Rosh Hashana, Ramadan, and 
Navratri (nine nights devoted to worship of the Hindu goddesses Durga, 
Lakshmi and Saraswati)
