“You killed us
You imprisoned us
You destroyed our homes
You expect us being submissive
Kashmir will resist till freedom.”
–Tweeted by Kashmir Freedom yesterday with this photo of protest after executions in Tral & murder of another protester.
Feliz (happy in Spanish) Ramadan to my Muslim friends around the world. The Rio Grande Valley, on the US border with Mexico, has many Muslims & mosques. They are Syrians, Palestinians, Pakistanis, Egyptians, Mexicans, Americans of Mexican ancestry.
They have held frequent rallies & participated in forums in solidarity with the Egyptian uprising, with Syria, with Palestinians. They hold cultural events to introduce others to Islam. They have held fund-raising events for Syrian refugees.
This meme is from my bookclub friend & amiga Elena Ledesma Rashid who journeyed with her husband to Florida to express solidarity after the Orlando nightclub bombing.
May your Ramadan be blessed.
