Well, there are some influential Catholics who would think this is a very appropriate Ramadan activity:

"The month of Ramadan is not only a time of fasting, but also a period of intense prayer. I wish to assure you, my Muslim friends, that we are united with you in prayer to the Almighty and Merciful God," Archbishop Fitzgerald wrote.

(...the president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald,...)

The Pope once stated: "In today's world, it is more important than ever that men and women of faith, assisted by God's grace, should strive for true holiness. Self-centered tendencies . . . threaten to turn mankind from the path of goodness and holiness which God has intended for all of us. The countless number of good people around the world -- Christians, Muslims, and others -- who quietly lead lives of authentic obedience, praise, and thanksgiving to God and selfless service of their neighbor, offer humanity a genuine alternative, 'God's way,' to a world which would otherwise would be destroyed in self-seeking, hatred, and struggle." [To Participants in the Symposium on Holiness in Christianity and in Islam, 5/9/85 in John Paul II and Interreligious Dialogue, eds. Sherwin and Kasimow.]

According to the Pope, Islam equals "God's way"!

Dr. Laura has my complete support.
