Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr)‚ often abbreviated to Eid‚ is a three-day Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan‚ the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity"‚ while Fiṭr means "conclusion of the fast"; and so the holiday celebrates the conclusion of the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid‚ therefore‚ falls on the first day of the month Shawwal. Eid-ul-Fitr Salat (Namaz in Urdu/Persian)

This approach to the media representation of Islam has been taken seriously by the Chinese government‚ who frame the political opposition of Uyghur nationalists in the province of Xinjiang as a branch of Al-Qaeda terrorist activities (Fuller & Lipman 340-341)
