Saudi Arabia moon-sighting blunders

When asked about the announcement by major Muslim organizations of Kerala that the Eid was tomorrow, Manicfan said,
"I have observed the moon-sighting issue in Kerala for the past 30 years and people say they have sighted the moon on days it is not possible. The lunar dates given in the various calendars in Kerala are different. Dates cannot and should not be changed like that. Even Saudi Arabia doesn't calculate this correctly. Only the Bedouins in the Arabian deserts follow the correct calculation."


He has a website highlighting some of the blunders made by the Saudis in sighting of the moon.
