Eid Al Adha
As you will recall this year seems to match every Jewish holiday with either a Muslim or Christian holiday this year.
It started out with Ramadan starting with Rosh Hashanna. So while the Jews ate and celebrated the new year, the Muslims were refraining from food and fasting. Then came Channukah and Christmas (I find it odd that these matching holidays start with the same letter) - the two major eating holidays for Christians and Jews.
So it's kind of ironic that today when the Muslims are eating and celebrating Eid al Adha, the Jews are fasting and mourning the siege of Jerusalem (The Fast of 10th of Tevet).
To my Muslim friends around the world I wish you all Eid Mubarak!

madman, there's no correlation. I just thought it was odd that the holidays this year are coinciding. And no, I'm not angry with you. If I were, you'd see a counter-post here. :-)
