Since the arabic names of their months are meaningless to English speakers, I added the number of the month in the lineup. 1408 and 1417 are the muslim years, as measured starting when mohammad got kicked out of Mecca, and took his marbles (the few he had left) and founded the first all muslim community.
In other words, the Iranian airliner was shot down in their equivalent of November, and TWA 800 was taken out in their equivalent of March, no way near an anniversary event in their calendar.
“1408 and 1417 are the muslim years, as measured starting when mohammad got kicked out of Mecca, and took his marbles (the few he had left) and founded the first all muslim community.“
LOL! In Arabic they call their years since Mohammed’s “EMIGRATION” from Mecca to Medina. They ain’t using your ‘vulgar’ language! 😂😂
Now, here’s a new calendar to celebrate and count immigration in bidet time:
This year is the year 01 in the bidet calendar! No confusion here, it’s the 1 st immigration year in the bidet calendar.
At last we resolved everything in three languages, English, Arabic and Chinese! 😤😤
