Eid and 9/11...

My return to Korea falls on two noted dates... Friday was Eid ul-Fitr, the completion of Ramadan and Saturday was the anniversary of 9/11...


Eid Mubarak = Blessed Eid
الله أكبر = Allahu Akbar = God is Great

Note that Eid falls at the end of the 9th month of the Islamic calendar (lunar) and so in 2001, Eid was on celebrated on December 17 in the Gregorian calendar (solar)
