Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. I wish those who are celebrating love and light this Ramadan. May Allah bless you and those you love this holy month.
The holy month of Ramadan begins for Muslims around the world. This year’s celebration runs the evening of Wed, Mar 22, 2023 – evening of Thu, Apr 20, 2023. Be blessed in observance and the time of drawing closer to the important things in life. Ramadan Mubarak and Ramadan Kareem.
Donald Trump is running for president of the United States. He said that we should ban Muslims from entering the United States temporarily until the government gets its act together…. Well Mr. Trump is 100% wrong and his words are racist and un-American. He along with many in the country are buying into fear and that is not what we are about. I believe in better angels and the diversity of this nation. Let’s do better and be better. I call on people to register to vote to keep our country strong and progressive for all people of all genders, creeds, faith and orientations. Let real freedom ring for all to sing. Mr. Trump, shame on you and God have mercy on your soul.
I love my Muslim friends and fellow bloggers. They help me see the world in a different way. While in college I was friends with several who lived in my dorm. I think the phobia they face is unfair and unkind. Yes there are a few bad apples in the bunch like there are people of all faiths and walks of life. I appreciate their contributions to global culture and commitment to the service of mankind.
It’s time to wage peace with each other with the same fierceness as we do war. Love thy neighbors as we love ourselves.
