HONOLULU – Hawaii's state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate "Islam Day" — over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn't want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.

The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks.

...

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House and now goes to Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.

[GRRRRR]

This country is DOOMED. I have no words left...

[jtal]

But EVERY day is Islam Day!

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day

Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't make it Sept. 11th.

[nickcarraway]

Christian Day would be unconstitutional.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Can you imagine if they passed a law proclaiming “Jewish day” or “Christian day” or “Mormon Day” ????

If such as the above were passed, wouldn’t the ACLU be out there in a hurry filing lawsuits, on “separation of church and state”???????

[svcw]

WTF! The governor will sign the bill, thats a given. Why not she is hiding the birth certificate.
Good bye America.

[UCANSEE2]

Islam Day.

Well.... we still have National Day of Prayer.

Or.... at least we did have it. Not that the White House celebrated or honored it.

[freedumb2003]

Next up:

NAZI day! I mean why hold all Nazi Germans responsible for the actions of just some of them?

[UCANSEE2]

Islam Day.

Well.... we still have National Day of Prayer.

[rawhide]

When are they going to make it a paid legal holiday?

What is it with these democrats? Why are they so eager to cave in to the muslims? What is in it for them? They all cannot be so stupid! We are a Judeo-Christian nation.

[P-Marlowe]

Christian Day would be unconstitutional.

Islam is a political movement and not a religion. In effect they might as well have declared it NAZI day.

[max americana]

Welcome to Amerika...where “Gay day”, “Abortion Day”, “Peace Day”, are in the planning stages.

[randog]

I guess the question hanging out there like a fart in church is: What does one do on “Islam Day”?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Liberalism is a mental disorder, characterized by unwarranted feelings of guilt, extreme naivete, massive stupidity, and suicidal tendencies.

[SandRat]

[P-Marlowe]

We should all celebrate by blowing up copies of the Koran.

[Travis McGee]

Exactly.

[NormsRevenge]

Close all the libraries and churches and synagogues?

[coloradan]

Behead people? Blow up schools and vegetable stands? Run planes into buildings? Emplace IEDs?

[MrLee]

Did we have a “Nazi Day” in the 1940’s??

[NormsRevenge]

Hawaii was high on my list of where I once could have retired before Obama popped up. :-)

If you want to see them back off of this in a hurry, tell them they have to give up Spam.

[steelyourfaith]

Dhimmi alert

[randog]

Whatever it is you can bet it’s a sausage fest.

[TheConservativeParty]

Well hell’s bells! Why not just go ahead and make it on Sept. 11th you idiots!

What is wrong with democrats? They are insane. Liberalism is a disease and a religion.

What will be left by Jan.20, 2013?

God help us.

[massmike]

Funny...the dems vote for an Islam day in one state and for gay “marriage” in others.I’m seeing a clash in the very near future.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Only if they have a "Take Your Son To Suicide Bomber School" day that runs concurrently.

It's definitely time for the U.S. to dump Hawaii. That joint has gone back to the Stone Age anyway.

[Finalapproach29er]

Isn’t the Governor Jewish?

This is surreal.

[FrdmLvr]

What happened to Separation of Church and State? Guess it doesn’t apply to Mosque and State?

[SkyDancer]

Pu-leeese don’t blow us up ....

[Recovering_Democrat]

2 republicans in the state of hawaii’s senate? pathetic.

“The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House.
The bill seeks to recognize “the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions” that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.”

Yes, that culture created our numerals and the ZERO. Zero has become the likelihood of our doing an Autumn visit.

That is fine with Me; I had been lobbying for an Autumn trip to the Ozarks, and not winning.

Now, I get to book a Cabin that will fit Us, our grown and married kids & the household pooch from each household.

I don’t have to do a dog less vacation!

[rdl6989]

That’s it. The world has officially gone completely crazy.

[massmike]

Meanwhile,on the mainland,the war against Christmas trees,mangers,and the Easter bunny continues.

You nailed it. If 911 had never occurred, this vote would have never occurred. Essentially, they are rewarding the people who attacked us. If that is not the definition of insanity, I don't know what is.

[M Kehoe]

I'm sure the Hawaiian legislature won't have a problem passing Sharia law either. That is until their women are subjected to "honor killings."

[Frank_2001]

How many mohammedans even LIVE in Hawaii??
On the other hand, major stopover for transpacific flights, BIG jets, baggage handlers, etc. etc.-wouldn’t want to tick anyone off now, would we? just another craven cave-in by political scumbags.

[SgtBob]

I’m gonna grill up some baby back pork ribs with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce, maybe some ‘tater salad, and some ice cold Bud Ice.

[Nowhere Man]

There are days I feel like that we woke up to a world run by the nuts let out by the insane asylum. I wish I could just say, “Scotty, beam me up.”

[kamikaze2000]

So the official celebrations includes rape, pillage, beheading, or all of the above?

[Blado]

The only solace in all this insanity is that the liberals will be the first to be decapitated.

[ReneeLynn]

WHAT exactly is Islam Day? It doesn’t make any sense in terms of a celebratory day.

It’s like making Festivus a real day. On second thought, I’ll take Festivus over Islam Day. Now get out the pole, I find tinsel distracting.

[RetiredArmy]

And America continues its march to ruination. This country is slowly committing suicide from within. All great nations and empires have crumbled. Now, it is America's time. America has turned its back on God, on its founding under God, and on the principals which made this country great. They have abandoned them. The MTV, Vietnam anti-war crowd, homosexuals, liberals, communists, socialists, athethis, are getting their way. Decent America is small. But, by cracky, I will continue the good fight!!!

[bw17]

Words fail me.

[Dinah Lord]

I don't know the Messiah looks pretty comfortable with that big crescent of Islam on his shoulder.

From today's media event with Karzai and Zardari.

[LUV W]

You need to get outta there, Big Guy!

The island has completely gone to the dark side!

[LUV W]

Dear God, I hope you are wrong!

[eleni121]

Oh goody! We can all commemorate the brutal slaughters of our ancestors at the hands of the cultist Muslims.

Scratch Hawaii off on my list of vacation spots.

For that matter - scratch this stupid country’s leaders in their descent into secular perversity.
