Missing: New Moon

I couldn't help but laugh at this small blurb on the front page of this morning's Gulf Times appealing to Muslims to look for the moon, and to report if they found it.

It reads somewhat like a missing cat poster to me.

Appeal to look for new moon

THE new Moon Sighting Committee at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has urged all Muslims in Qatar to look for the new moon of the Islamic month of Shawwal tomorrow.
In a statement issued yesterday, the committee said anyone sighting the new moon should report to it at the ministry in Al Sadd. The committee will meet after Maghrib (sunset) prayers.
The sighting of the Shawwal moon marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr. – QNA
