you LOVE to be that guy.
This isn't a "Christian" holiday so it's ok to put here and say things about.
And if you read those threads they were heavily mommed with a ton of posts deleted. I'm not saying that the moms would allow this post over those, I'm saying the users that need to ram their objections to religion (read: christianity) down everyone's throats will come bitch and wail in those threads but will be nowhere to be found here.
I'm replying to darkerblue's no religion post and the replies with links to other religion posts. Why are your panties in a wad? Nothing I posted was inaccurate or pro any religion or "side". Just an observation of the way the board goes.
I'm sure I don't understand the observation he/she was making.
To clarify, the problems start when someone decides to be dickish, proselytizing, smug, intolerant (some have been all of those in the same sentence) or any one of a number of things which would stifle open discussion, and so far that hasn't happened here. With these sorts of threads, in about 9 out of 10 cases, it isn't the message or the OP, it is the people responding and their own attitudes that cause the problems and lead to a lot of these threads eventually ending poorly.
Yeah, people are going to say "no religion", but in my own interpretation - and Brian or Seth can correct me at any time - is that mere greetings such as what the OP posted are typically fine and inoffensive save to the few who can't handle even that - otherwise, virtually all of the Christmas, Easter, Passover and other threads would be taken down as well, rather than the select few which were invaded by problematic posters. Overt preaching would likely be an auto-ban, but that's definitely not what is going on here.
I'm with you Darker Blue.
"Military cemeteries around the world are packed with brainwashed dead soldiers who were convinced God was on their side. America prays for God to destroy our enemies. Our enemies pray for God to destroy us. Somebody's gonna be disappointed! Somebody's wasting their time! Could it be.. everyone?"
I hate to be that type of guy, but my term paper was done by handmadewritings
IIRC, "Eid Mubarak" is not a holiday but a greeting Muslims give one another at Eid al-Fitr (the breaking of the fast of Ramadan).
So Eid Mubarak to all the MGoMuslims on the board! And those same MGoMuslims should correct me here if I'm wrong (not Islamic, and don't play a Muslim on TV!).
FWIW, mubarak literally means "blessed."
So a blessed holiday to our Muslim brothers and sisters. Enjoy the feasting!
Thanks! Eid Kareem!

Disney has been a major influence on Middle Eastern architecture for centuries.

Aladdin was basically their mid century modern movement.
The name of the holiday today is Eid ul-Fitr.
Easter is the critical, or holiest holiday, for Christians, but your sentiment stands, none the less.
EDIT: This morning, while I was dropping my son off at school, I noticed several high school boys in full traditional Muslim dress (grey gowns). I suspect it has something to do with the holiday.
What about Wife Day or the Friday Posbang? These days are spiritual.
Well, Kate Upton sexybits gifs can be spiritual when you get right down to it.
Ayuh. I was thinking that Brie and Upton are regular posts on the posbang.
I really fail to see why so many people seem to want to force this OP into the dreaded "religion" category, and can't instead just look the other way about posts like this if they think it's offensive. Just like the recent post about the Juno probe, I find the education process here on MGoBlog very enjoyable - even though I'm not Muslim and don't celebrate the holiday. Tolerance, man, tolerance.
I read nothing religious into this at all. This is not a governmnt site where we have to be anal as to what we post in fear of offending someone. It's not difficult to read this blog one time and not realize the education level here is far greater than that found on most like sites.
It's only natural it would be made up of curious minds and those always great to learn a little about other cultures. I find the many things about the Latino culture simply fascinating and in some cases, amazing, in that they've been able to keep them intact for 500 years. I learn new thing new every year and sometime in November I'll be making my 6th straight trip south of the border.
I found this post worthy just from the tolerance aspect.
Excellent post--Eid Mubarak!
I'll be honest, when I saw the title, I was thinking Big Eid might be an offensive line prospect. YMRMFSPA Big Ed Muransky.
also vaguely thought it might have been an NBA free agent signing discussion
to all of the MGoMuslims out there!
Enjoy being able to eat and drink fluids during daylight once again!
And congrats to all who embarked on a difficult journey to understand the plight of those less fortunate.
both of them.
given the size of MGoBlog community and the demographics of both the UM system and the state. So starting today, should be noticeably fewer hungry folks snapping at bad posts in the late afternoons. Not that we ever have those here. But if we did, just sayin'.
I learn something new everyday. I hope everyone has a happy Eid Ul Fitr day.

Well, this lasted longer than the Easter thread.
