Rye Playland was shut down Tuesday after cops scuffled with Muslims upset that women wearing head scarves were barred from the rides, witnesses said.

Fifteen people, including three women, were charged with disorderly conduct and assault in the chaos, authorities said.

The Westchester County park was packed with Muslims celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr - the holiday marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

When we set out to make our "Holy Kitchens" film about Islam, we called it the Moon of Eïd, to acknowledge the lunar calendar that governs the start and end of the holy month of Ramadan. To be in a Muslim country during this month is an extraordinary experience. We spoke with Professor Ali Asani of Harvard University about sharing food:

A school district in Massachusetts votes to close for one day to recognize three major Muslim holidays. WCVB reports.

Halal slaughter or the Islamic way of slaughter is one according to which it is mandatory to cut the throat, windpipe and at least one jugular vein while the animal is in complete senses. The term for this kind of slaughter is Dhakat.

What are the mistakes and wrong actions that the Muslims are warned against on the two Eids? We see some actions which we denounce such as visiting graves after the Eid prayer and staying up to worship on the night of Eid

...Muslims should especially give gifts when they are appreciative of what someone has done for them. Knowing this fact, one University of Michigan graduate, took this idea a step further. In response to television host and comedian, Jon Stewart's, fairly consistent defense of Muslims and his commentary on the "Ground Zero Islamic center", Chris A.R. Blauvelt wanted to thank him in a big way.

Blauvelt started a Facebook event entitled, Send Jon Stewart an Eid Gift and shared his reasoning for the initiative: "He who does not thank people, does not thank God" ~Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. In thanks to and recognition of Jon Stewart's sane, honest and hilarious commentary on the ground zero mosque controversy and defense of Muslims against the growing tide of Islamophobia, we encourage everyone of all faiths and backgrounds to send him a gift on the Muslim holiday of Eid, this year on September 10, 2010. **NOTE: It's also the high Jewish Holidays, so please wish him a warm Shanah Tovah too!"
