It's that time of year again. Oddly enough, this "year" Chinese New Year coincided with the Muslim New Year and the beginning of the first ten days of the month of Muharram. It is definitely a time when religious sensibilities will be heightened among Muslims (I wonder how much that affected the response to the Danish cartoons).
I shared some thoughts on the subject of Ashurah last year (wow, Planet Grenada is approaching its first birthday soon) so this year I think I'll mostly just point to a sampling of what some other members of the Muslim blogosphere are saying. The comments range from...
The Informative:
Sister Scorpion: Judaism, Sunni Islam, and Shi'i Islam and Ashura
Sunni Sister: The Hijrah and Muharram
Zam Zam: Muharram 2006/1427
The Festive:
Dervish: Happy New Year
Colloquy: Tonight We're going to Party Like it's 1427
And the Personal:
Brown Rab Fish Girl: This is a weeping song; a song with which to weep (Nick Cave)
Truth & Beauty: Reclaiming Ashura
And from Grenada last year
day after day after day...
