One of my friends said: Eid Mubarik, happy cooking and eating. Which is really what Eid is about. Someone or the other will be in kitchen all day. Mothers, wives , sisters or servants. And dressing up. If it were a simple celebration it would be well deserved after a month of discipline and charity. But it's days of gluttony, new fashionable clothes after a month of over- stuffed stomachs with fasting without prayers , many selfies, and artificial capitalist nationalist religiosity. All the time while children in Gaza are dying or starving. And, indeed in Sudan too which has a big Muslim population. So much for Ramzan which when I was a God fearing Muslim, I observed with naivete, fasting and 5 daily prayers. Now as a God fearing atheist, I really wonder what is the point and except to rage and critique on deaf ears.
