hey, thanks! or rather, alhamdolillah 🙂 and Ramadan mubarak to you all as well.Report
Ramadan begins in just a few hours (for Muslims in Los Angeles that is)! I recently saw a beautiful documentary about three of the most famous mosques in the world. It was created by explore.org, a project of the Annenberg Foundation. If you are interested: http://explore.org/explore/middleeast/films/173Report
