Eid Mubarak
Does the mainstream public in America, Canada, India, Australia or elsewhere relate with Muslim customs and traditions? The following articles are written with the intent of developing that understanding.
1. Traditions of Ramadan

2. Politics of Ramadan
http://worldmuslimcongress.blogspot.com/2009/09/ramadan-poltics.html
3. Spirit of Ramadan

4. Our Mission – http://www.foundationforpluralism.com/WorldMuslimCongress/Articles/Mission-Statement.asp
The language chosen is generic and incidences are relational, so the public can relate with what they are familiar with and extrapolate that to the politics, traditions and the spirit of Ramadan. Of course, we can write a book on each. I have learned over the years that news papers have a reason to limit the length of the articles and I have followed that to the best of my ability.
You are welcome to share, forward, comment and make suggestion to make it better in the comments section of each article. You can publish it as well.
