Xi'an, as the primary city on China's silk road, is full of Muslim influence that is reflected in the very unique style of local cuisine. Below is one of the numerous streets that are full of food vendors. It would take days to walk through them all.

Side and back lighting, edited in Luminar. This coffee pot was made in San Ambrogio, Sicily, in the summer of 1971. It is a beautiful reminder that many of today's items giving quality to life were originally introduced to Europe by the Muslim world.
She was holding a sign that invited "Meet a Muslim" with some friends in downtown Chicago and handing out flowers and hand written letters downtown. I expressed my gratitude that she is a part of America.
I hope everyone is kind to her. There is room in this world, in this country, and in my neighborhood for people of all faiths. Hate has no home here.
In which Muslim place can you see such a forest of crosses, church domes and belfries?..
(Edit: because of no guesses, I added the geolocation as a give-away ;)

Balsams make really nice, and fragrant, Christmas trees... string together some of those berries from the mountain ash to get a head start on decorations!
I may be preaching to the choir here as I point out that Joyce and I are always quite busy this time of year. I’ll be scrambling around today for last minute ingredients for meals I’m preparing for a Christmas gathering of international students from Duke University with International Students, Inc tomorrow evening at our church’s fellowship hall. The meal is potluck-style, with many members of our church pitching in, as we may be feeding 150+ people. We must be concerned about dietary restrictions of some the students, Muslims for instance, so I’m making a huge pot of gluten-free rotini pasta with Bolognese sauce and southern-style chicken and dumplings… comfort food. Others will be making vegan dishes and desserts. I will be there early to coordinate the kitchen and the food… Joyce will be there to help with finishing touches on holiday decorations.... after she returns from Boydton, Virginia, where she's also setting up decorations at the historic Boyd Tavern along with the mayor's wife... she knows how to hobnob.
At this gathering last year, I sat at a table with a few first-year engineering students from China. Engineering is something I understand, so we had a pretty good conversation going on. That conversation led to issues of regionalism and colloquialism that we found quite funny. "Regionalism" eventually reached across the world when they asked me what I thought of them. I'm sitting there with science-minded young adults brilliant enough to attend one of the most elite schools in the world from a country that insists communism is their only God... and yet, I was able to explain God to them and why we celebrate His birth at Christmas. In doing so, I explained how God tells me that I can't say that I love Him without also loving them... that's much of the theme of the Book of James. They sat silent for a bit after that, though I could see something was whirling around in their heads. As I gathered my stuff to leave that evening, they were lined up at the door to thank me and hug me for talking to them... and one of them now attends church with us. Time spent with God never returns void.
After church this Sunday, we're both headed back to Boydton, a little over an hour away on the far side of Kerr Lake, to participate in the open house Christmas activities there. I will be taking photos of kids with Santa Claus... which should up my ante on the naughty or nice quotient. Time will tell.

Ramadan Crescent Moon & Venus Almost Like Pakistan Flag Symbols Above Saint Petersburg & Tampa Bay Florida At Breathtaking Early Spring Dusk - IMRAN™
To get this stunning capture I took 4 separate iPhone 14 Pro Max photos to maximize the colors and detail. I merged them as a panorama even though it is just a square view.
If you know the Pakistani flag, it has a crescent moon next to a solo star. Obviously, that is not to scale compared to what we see in the sky. But on this night the new moon of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and I believe Venus in the early night sky above it, combined in the right order to remind me of my motherland.
The molten gold and orange lava clouds flying across the horizon are typical magic of Tampa Bay sunsets silhouetting Saint Petersburg across from my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida. The deep-blue waters of not-that-deep Tampa Bay complete the contrasting effects of both words and colors. A moment of pure blessings and absolute bliss, of complete gratitude, and amazing grace.

Hagia Sophia is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.
From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture." It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
