Ramadan 5th: You Are Native To Where You Live, Work, Build and Belong

This year, London decks its version of Times Square (Picadilly Circus) with #Ramadan decor, for the first time ever. This is significant.

For years and decades, Muslims who are, and have been a considerable part of British - particularly, London - life were accustomed to passing by Christmas and Hanukkah public displays while their high holidays, including Ramadan, which is a globally MASSIVE event, were swept under the carpet as a private and foreign affair.

No longer. Slowly but surely Western Muslims are staking their natural space as a native culture to the lands they call home. You can see signs of this emerging from mainstream TV ads to kids cartoons to shopping platforms to public squares to professional sports platforms.

Wishes for blessed Ramadan to our British Muslim family and our epic human family all over the world.
