yum

So Wednesday the 10th was a religious holiday here and everywhere in the world. They call it Tabaski. Quite simply, its Christmas for Muslims. To clearify Tabaski, it is simply a holiday that celebrates Abraham. This is the same Abraham that the Bible talks about. Yes, Christians and Muslims have the SAME God. Well, for all of you who are not religious buffs, Abraham sacrificed his son in the name of God because God told him to. Right before the moment of death, God stopped Abraham and so on and so on. Tabaski is the holiday that celebrates this. So instead of killing their sons, Muslims kill a sheep instead. So I ate about 8 years worth of sheep in just 2 days. Impressive? So on an educational note, next time you hear someone bashing a Muslim person because of terrorism, remember:

Islamic fundamentalists (terrorists) are to Islam, like the KKK is to Catholicism. The majority of Muslims ARE not terrorists. They are really religious people who share the same God as you and the other 92% of the worlds population.
