Before labeling, we need to search for the reality...
**
First Eid:** was only celebrated by Afghans living in NWFP, they follow Afghanistan not Pakistan
**Second Eid: **It was only a partial eid in NWFP, no where else, and its quite possible because Peshawar is at height compare to Karachi and have 40 mints time difference
**Thir Eid: **It was celebrated by all Pakistan including all those who already have celebrated!
All happened in few parts of Peshawar, not in whole country...
You think that is "mockery", I went to an Eid party expecting to be preached to. Instead they broke out the bubbly and started belly dancing to "mubarrik ya habibibi"

UAE: Not Seen: Dr. Ilias Fernini said: “It has been reported that the crescent was seen at several places in Saudi Arabia this past Thursday (Oct. 11, 2007) and this explain why Eid for us in the United Arab Emirates was on Friday, oct. 12, 2007. The astronomical fact is that the crescent Moon for almost all of the Arab world this past Thursday did set with or before the Sun by a couple of minutes. To translate this fact in a simple english, we should say that the Moon was not up in the sky at the time of these SAUDI sightings. So, definitely these SAUDIS did not see the crescent Moon. The question then to ask is what did they see this past Thursday? Well…
Yesterday (Friday ,Oct. 12, 2007), I went to Jabal Hafeet (a moderately high mountain) near Al-Ain armed with a 12-inch telescope with a sophisticated LPI camera to spot the crescent Moon which was about 32 hours old. The sky was perfect for a clear observing session, but the western horizon (the most important spot for the crescent) was awfully dusty. After setting my telescope, time was up to observe. My first target was not the Moon, but Mercury. I locked into it with ease: here is Mercury shining high above the western horizon. With a low power, I was able to see it like a bright spot. If it were not for the wind, I would have tried a high power and see it as a CRESCENT. But it was quite windy and the image was not still even with a low power. Then next, my important target was the Crescent Moon. Impossible to see with a naked eye, I commanded my telescope to go and get it. It obeyed my command within a fraction of a second since the Moon was not very far away from Mercury this past Friday. With a confidence of a dedicated and a professional astronomer, I looked through the eyepiece of my telescope to see the crescnet “et voila”: NOTHING. With an age of 32 hours, elevation of 8 degrees, the crescent Moon was impossible to see with a quite sophisticated telescope because of just one reason: the western horizon was so polluted that even the Sun disappeared two minutes before its real setting time. This was the situation Friday while the Moon well up in the sky, but how was the situation Thursday with the moon well below the horizon. I tried several times to spot the crescent Moon, but all trials failed. I decided then to break my fast and be happy that I fasted 30 days. So, the question again is what did these Saudis see? I truly believe that they have seen a crescent, not a crescent Moon but a crescent Mercury. And if they did really observe a crescent Mercury, they must be very good at it and they should share their experience with all of us in terms of always seeing the impossible.” http://www.icoproject.org/icop/shw28.html
On Friday October 26, 2007, we oberserved the biggest and the brightest full moon of the year. And that was the 14 night of Shawwal in Pakistan. So it proved that Eid was rightly celeberated in Pakistan by RHC.
Those idiots in NWFP who celeberated it on Friday and Saturday in Pakistan should do qaza fasting. Indeed they made the mockery of Eid.
