To all our muslim members: Happy New year!

I second that, although Nowrūz <goog_1407859701> (
<goog_1407859701>نوروز‎<goog_1407859701>"New
Day")<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowruz>is not an all-Muslim
holiday. It appears to have originated in the
Persian-speaking world, probably within early Zoroastrianism, and has been
spread to Persian-influenced (mostly Turkic-speaking) cultures in Central
and Southern Asia as well as to some cultures in Western Asia and
Southeastern Europe. For instance, it is celebrated also among
Zoroastrians, Kurds, Bahá'ís, and Christians (e.g. Aramaians/Assyrians,
Armenians, Georgians and both Christian and Muslim Albanians).
