Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

Eid ul-Fitr
Today is Eid in the United States, the Muslim holiday that celebrates the end
of Ramadan, which for those of you that don't know, is a holy month of fasting.

May you enjoy the start of Shawwal~

well, its forbidden to eat and drink during the DAY, at night you can do what you want. Statistically a egyptian muslim gains 5 kg during ramadan, thats not what you call fasting.

Well, that depends on the individuals, actually. There are muslims who eat sufficient at dusk, then spend almost the entire rest of the night to pray, instead of eating and eating and eating... One lesson from Ramadhan is supposed to be self-control.

In my country, Eid Mubarak was yesterday. Thank you lamb and everyone. And Happy Eid Mubarak for all muslims~

Yup,most people that I know actually lost weight during Ramadhan (but then their weight shot up at Eid ul Fitr because they went on eating binge).
Eid Mubarak everyone ^^

Happy holidays to all those who celebrate, just wanted to add a fun-fact, no offence intended towards anyone, it's just that I chuckled a little when I saw what the holiday was named, and wanted to share. In my language (norwegian) "Eid" means and is the phrase used for "Owned", true story bigrazz

So when I read that it was a month of fasting I had to smile a little, I don't mean to insinuate anything by it, just that it was a funny coincidencebigrazz

Here in my country, Indonesia , we call it "Idul Fitri" or "Lebaran day" , the day when we apologize toward each other and doing holiday trip to our hometown / village to visit families, called "mudik" .

In my country it is time to forgive each other...happy eid mubarok!

thread

» 9redrain on September 27th, 2009, 3:02am

the essence of eid ul-fitr is that you go back to 'fitri', which means 'pure'. it's when we believe that our sin is being forgiven by Lord.. and the others. therefore, people in my country celebrate it with 'forgiving rituals' : meeting family, shaking hands, and asking forgiveness in case he/she had made fault toward related people...

that's when we believe that forgiveness can be so sweet and beautiful.. when people try to understand each other..

isn't that so easy to create 'peace'..?
forgiving someone doesn't mean that you lose..
it's resemble your strong heart to give another chance and to move on

::happy ied 1430 H::
