FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 279-11 August 1, 2011 MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG WISHES NEW YORKERS A RAMADAN MUBARAK AT THE START OF RAMADAN "As Ramadan begins, Muslims from throughout the five boroughs will come together to start a time of deep reflection and fasting - bringing them closer as families and members of a community. The city's rapidly growing Muslim community is a part of the beautiful mixture of religious and ethnic diversity that has helped make our city what it is today. On behalf of all New Yorkers, I want to extend my best wishes to all those celebrating this holiest month on the Muslim calendar. Ramadan Mubarak."
