In my local German city , we have some groups who publish the calendar of Ramadan before the actual moon-sighting
In all those calendars the first day of Ramadan this year is mentioned as July 20 , Friday. It seems to me that this date was fixed long before Ramadan comes.

Now I have discovered that Saudi Arabia has also started Ramadan on the same day based on false moon sighting as shown in this link.
Sadly, my local Arabic mosque follows Saudi Arabia.

I am wondering if there is any Islamic group in Germany who really try to see the moon through naked eyes.
