I'm certain that the large majority of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims see through the myopia and venality of our media which, by its coverage, abetted the recent freak show in Gainesville, with the "Christian" fundamentalist/sect leader seeking to burn Qur'ans, and will celebrate Eid El-Fitr as joyously and peacefully as they've done for 1400+ years.

On the occasion of Rosh Hashanah I extend my best wishes to Jewish readers. Rosh Hashanah is the holiday commonly referred to as the "Jewish New Year", and is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar.
