Pacific Army Combats Geography, Personnel Issues

Pacific Army Combats Geography, Personnel Issues | Regional Geography | Scoop.it

"One look at a globe could define the vastness of the Asia-Pacific region, but the U.S. Army command responsible for it can apply that same description to the challenges it faces. These range from cultural issues among dozens of diverse countries to technological issues of network centricity and interoperability."

Ramadan 2012 begins

Ramadan 2012 begins | Regional Geography | Scoop.it
All over the world Muslims have begun their holiest month of the year by fasting from dawn until dusk each day, broken each evening by large, communal meals.

 

This photoessay is a visual and cultural delight.  Pictured above is a Pakistani boy who prays next to plates of fruits donated to worshippers to break their fast (Karachi, July 21, 2012).  On the first day of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, we see the communal ethos of Ramadan.

this shows how much dedication muslims have to their religion. they fast for an entire month which is amazing. I've always thought learning about different types of people was interesting.

The fact that over 1 billion Muslims take part in Ramadan is incredible. My dad is apart of Ramadan and was telling me all about it. Its amazing how dedicated they are to their religion.

It's amazing that so many people can be so dedicated to their religion, even if it means fasting for such a long period of time.
