US hands over Anbar Province as Iraqi Sunnis begin Ramadan
The US military will hand over security control of Anbar, once the most explosive battlefield in Iraq, to local forces on Monday as Iraqi Sunnis begin observing the holy month of Ramadan.
[SNIP]Iraqi Sunnis begin observing Ramadan from Monday, followed by Shiites on Tuesday. Some locals were sceptical about the ability of Iraqi forces to maintain security in Anbar. "Our forces are not ready to take responsibility for the situation. I am sorry to say, but there is a lot of corruption in our security forces," said Thar Mohammed in Ramadi.
Sunni Arabs in Anbar were the first to turn against US forces after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime by US-led invasion forces in 2003, mounting a raging insurgency that tore through the world's most sophisticated military.[SNIP]
Around one third of US forces or 1,305 troops have been killed in Anbar which shares borders with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria.

The holy month of Ramadan is a special time of prayer, fasting, and service. For Muslims, these days commemorate the revelation of God's word to the prophet Muhammad in the form of the Qur'an.
I thank the men and women of the Muslim community for their contributions to America.
MUSLIM CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICA
Your love of family, and gratitude to God have strengthened the moral fabric of our country. Our Nation is stronger and more hopeful because of the generosity, talents, and compassion of our Muslim citizens.

Sunday, September 23, 2007:
In the first week of a special program during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the U.S. military released 260 Iraqi detainees from U.S. prisons, the military said Wednesday, compelling each to take a pledge before an Iraqi judge not to engage in misconduct and requiring a family member or a friend to act as a guarantor who would face sanctions if the pledge is broken.
The initiative “is designed to deter detainees from engaging in misconduct after their release,” said a military statement released Sept. 13, at the start of the program. The released detainees “are tracked, and if they act outside the law, they are turned over to the Iraqi judicial system,” Rear Adm. Mark I. Fox, a U.S. military spokesman, told reporters in Baghdad last week.
The Ramadan program is part of a joint U.S.-Iraqi venture called Lion’s Paw, and it is intended to step up the normally slow pace of detainee releases, to between 50 and 80 Iraqis per day, until the holy month ends Oct. 13, according to the military announcement.
