Islamic festival delayed

Local Muslim leaders have pushed back the Eid al Fitr festival, celebrating the end of the monthlong Ramadan observance, from today to Sept. 24 -- Islam Day in Hawaii. "We wanted to be sensitive to the feelings over that horrible, evil act (of 9/11)," said Hakim Ouansafi, president and chairman of the Hawaii Muslim Association. Muslims prayed yesterday at Manoa District Park, above.
