a Thursday. It's a great joyous occasion when all Muslims of the Ummah will observe Thursday together on the same day (except those pesky fitna-loving Polynesians). Sheikh Al Bouty was involved in the marathon negotiations that brought all the leaders of the community together. The Salafs initially wanted to wait till Friday, considered holy by the Wahhabi Islam (and other sects), to celebrate Thursday, but came around when informed that to get to Friday they would have to observe Thursday first.

In other news ISNA has declared by virtue of calculations that Thursday is not theoretically possible this week, and declared tomorrow to be Friday.
