Maybe we aren't so different after all
One of my goals in the past few years has been to become more aware of the limits of my ethnocentric world view. After all, It's a great big universe and we're all really puny. Anyway, I'm definitely making an effort to learn more about other cultures and faith traditions, so I appreciate learning opportunities like the Ramadan series over at Street Prophets and the interfaith prayer forum I attended in Columbus this summer. Another window on the world that I can access, when I think of it, is a blog called nmazca. It's run by Damon Taylor, who used to live here in Columbus. Then he moved to Seattle. Now he's in Cairo for some reason. I'm sure I could find out why if I read a few entries back, but for now I'm just enjoying the pictures.
Today I found this story, which he linked from the International Herald Tribune: Ramadan: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
The ad you see here is one Damon photographed on his trip to Doha, Qatar last year.
Does anyone else envision the a Muslim version of A Charlie Brown Christmas where Linus (Ahmed? Mohammed?) has to explain the true meaning of Ramadan?
