PS: Here's a little Eid Greeting Card I created.. Enjoy..

An author by the name of William Dalrymple has written an article called "Political Islam on the march".  A very factual and honest opinion on the politics of the Middle East and Islam in general.

In short its basically saying that as much as the West is trying to promote and impose their western diplomacy and democracy through illegal wars and dirty politics in the Middle East, the more the Muslims in those regions are backing behind pro conservative Islamic Factions. From Iraq to Algeria the people are becoming frustrated with their "pro-western" ruling parties. From Musharraf to the ruling monarch in Saudi Arabia, people are starting to see that the American Puppets who practice western democracy and politics is nothing more then inequality for the people and riddled with hypocrites and personal hidden agendas. Whereas the conservative Islamic parties are more aligned to equality and Islamic Sharia Law.

The fact is that the revolution has begun. The most pivotal point in Western/Islamic history will be the disaster of 9/11. American Foreign policy is back-firing. And as long as the bombs continue to fall, the revolution will rage on.

Ramadaan Mubarak to all fellow brothers and sisters out there.  May Allah bless us and guide us.  May Allah pardon us and shower mercy upon us.

A bit of History

The third pillar of Islam, which is fasting, is practiced during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat and scorched ground. (in Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) – – and it is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, established in the year 638 CE. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, fasting, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.

"Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book.

Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. Allah wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify Allah for guiding you, and to express your appreciation."[2:185]
