Islam is at the heart of an emerging global anti-hegemonic culture that combines diasporic and local cultural elements, and blends Arab, Islamic, black and Hispanic factors to generate "a revolutionary black, Asian and Hispanic globalization, with its own dynamic counter-modernity constructed in order to fight global imperialism.

Asalaamu alaikum. Thanks for posting all this. People need to be aware of the reality of Thanksgiving as a holiday. Personally, I do celebrate thanksgiving because I think we should be thankful for all that Allah has blessed us with, every day. But as an American Indian, I also teach my son to view it as thankfulness to Allah but not as the American holiday it started out as, and more importantly, I try to teach him why.
