In my city Abadan in southern Iran, we called Eid al-Fitr “the Arabs’ Eid.” There were many Arabs in Abadan. Like Iranians, they bought new clothes for the New Year and treated people with nuts and fruits at home, but Iranians did not do this on Eid al-Fitr.
I do not attach any value or importance to the celebrations, mourning, and every important day of religions, which are all backward and have caused wars and human misery.
