Dear Simerg
Mubarak for Hajir Maulas celebration from your cousin Dawoodi Bohra

Tashakur. Who is Aga Khan? He looks very European.
Hello Shabbir Khan:
First Mr. Khan, you asked what is Salgirah Mubarak! Now you ask Who is the Aga Khan and that he looks like a European. Over a billion Muslims look like Chinese, Africans, Iranians, Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Indonesians and Malaysians as well as Europeans! Indeed, Arabs are much fewer in numbers!
If you wish to sincerely learn about the Aga Khan and his work visit the following official websites: http://www.akdn.org, http://www.theismaili.org, and http://www.iis.ac.uk, as well as other initiatives like mine – http://www.simerg.com and http://www.barakah.com.
