August is just around the corner...

Washington, DC — In a proclamation issued today, President Obama has designated August as ‘International Muslim Awareness Month’.

“The Muslim community around the world deserves our full acceptance, respect, apologies and most importantly, our awareness,” Obama told reporters. “The world has done horrible things to the Muslim people since the beginning of time. Americans have killed millions of Muslims overseas since the September 11th attacks

I think I agree with Paul Horner. Too few public holidays in the States- it's nuts!

I love that there's a link to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In case there are people here who were kidnapped by aliens or in a coma for the last 13 years

The president should only be able to designate national awareness months, not international ones.

I will definitely be feigning outrage over this for a brief period of time.

Food and what is popular among different cultures is very interesting. Going to an international market and watching the different cultures interact, always fascinates me.

ooooh yeah. There's a hmong market close to my work that I want to go to. Seems like it would be fun.

I was saying in another thread. There is one in Atlanta that is about the size of 2 super Walmarts. The produce isle is bigger than most grocery stores. I got fruits in my house right now, that look something from a star trek movie. We bought 160 bucks of groceries yesterday, I got up to make a snack and the only thing I could find to eat were grapes.

Hmong ? You have to remember my culture. In my culture Hmong is an abbreviation used by the S. baptist to describe a man that surrounds himself with loose women.

It's so cool. Most nations have there own aisles, with signs --Hispanic, Vietnamese, Korean,Middle eastern, Philippines, etc etc, I have never seen so many kinds of fish and meats in one place.

Yes I know Hispanic and middle eastern are not nations

[Novembro 1,763]

but they might as well be amirite

No not really. I don't have much experiance with people from the Middle East, but among Hispanics there is a lot of cultural diversity among the different countries. Argetianans and Mexicans cultural is very very different. I dated an Argentinian chick. She looked at me like I was nuts, sometimes when I used Mexican slang. To be honest they thought themselves somewhat superior to them

[Novembro 1,763]

T'was a joke, but you are right.

Now I am hungry for mexican and middle eastern food. Combined.
