Hundreds of Muslims gathered in Times Square, New York City, on the first night of Ramadan to mark the beginning of the holy month with a night of prayer. The event, which coincided with the Oscars 2024, saw participants, including Muslims with Palestinian flags, offering prayers and listening to a speaker who emphasized the Quran's significance over other holy texts, stating that all other holy Bibles have been tampered with. This gathering was one of several across the U.S., including a notable event in Chicago where Muslim Americans began their Ramadan observance at the Downtown Islamic Center on State Street. The New York event was filmed by @LeeroyPress.
