An American Muslim’s Reflection on Thanksgiving

I moved from Indonesia to California in 2008 and I don’t remember the exact year my family celebrated Thanksgiving. But I do remember that one year, the first time my mom and I decided to roast a big turkey with Japanese and Indonesian marinade. I was happy because I associated a giant golden brown roasted turkey on Thanksgiving Day with me being a true American. That year I just moved to USA for few years and that is one reason why I want to incorporate an American cultural aspect in my life.
