The good folks at Hallmark are aiming for a new market:
Hallmark has created its first greeting cards for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the monthlong fast of Ramadan.
Fasting during Ramadan is one of the pillars, or obligations, of Islam and is one of the most important times of the year for Muslims.
One of the cards includes the traditional Arabic salutation, "Eid Mubarak," which means "Happy Holiday," and also contains the message, "May Allah bless the world with His peace and love."
Another card reads, "Eid brings us all closer together ... brothers and sisters, friends and family, united in faith, joy and thanks on this happy and blessed day. Eid Mubarak to you and yours."
No word on condolence/celebration cards for the family of a suicide bomber: "Congratulations on the addition of 72 virgins to the family!"
