Muslims represent under 2% of the population of Ukraine with a history dating to the 13th century. The majority are Crimean Tatars, the indigenous people of Ukraine, now in effect cut off from Muslims elsewhere in the country.
Eid Mubarak to all celebrating around the world.
May this Eid bring peace to your homes, strength to your hearts, and freedom to your people, from Palestine to Yemen, from Damascus to Diyarbakir.
May your prayers be heard. May justice return.
And may the crescent moon rise over a world reborn.
Eid Mubarak.
