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.
