Alhamdulillah, McDonald’s has introduced a green shake to celebrate Ramadan. They even named is a shamrock shake, a play on the Arabic shams (light) and raq (elegant, pretty) — an elegant light. A truly wonderful thing.
@b_nishanov You sure that's not for St. Patrick's Day?
@b_nishanov "Hi, this is Robby over at marketing. Listen, I was spending some time on Google translator, and we think that we have a new angle for you this March...."
@b_nishanov @annakhachiyan Syncretism brings the people together, thank you Ronald McDonald
@b_nishanov @ZaidJilani Nothing from McDonalds is wonderful. Boycott this scourge on society. For your health, & for moral consistency. Support an official sponsor of genocide? Never while looking through my green eyes. But, you do you.
@b_nishanov Ramadan Mubarak! I'm pretty sure the "rock" is rukh (الرُخّ), which is of course associated with the Sun. Mcdonald's is paying homage to the pious Sinbad, and all the Arab legends, for the holy month.
