Happy Eid al-Fitr!

(Eid Mubarak)

• As part of the holiday spirit, word has it that Obama Barack will be sending out yet another email proclaiming his Islamic devotion. [Politico]. Btw, I like how exposing or portraying someone as Muslim in America is considered a smear campaign!

• Okay, perhaps a more genuine proclamation of Muslim support-New York will be lighting the Empire State building green in honor of the Islamic holiday that celebrates the end of Ramadan (literally translated, Eid al-Fitr means, celebration of the break!). [AFP]. Incidentally, the green illlumination coincides with the upcoming release of “The Incredible Hulk.” Coincidence? I think not! Sublimial corporate tie-in masquerading as a altruistic act of religious toleration? I think yes…[IMDb]
