Happy Eid ul Adha

This Muslim holiday celebrates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son (Ishmael). I've been in the Middle East for this holiday several times -- fun family time, but it can be tough to be around if you happen to be out and about at butchering time (sorry to be an ethnocentric cultural relativist).

What an interesting contradiction -- an ethnocentrist cultural relativist.

And, as I've learned to say -- kulu am wa anti bikhair.

That's me, an interesting contradiction.
