Hawaii “Islam Day” secretly marks September 11

Muslims have just tricked the Hawaii Legislature into celebrating Islam on September 11.

Hawaii has no Christianity Day, no Judaism Day, and no Buddhism Day--but Hawaii’s Democrat Legislators—with the loud public support of Ron Paul connected Rep Kym Pine (R-Ewa)—passed a resolution to create Islam Day.

By a 22-3 vote the Hawaii Senate May 7 approved House Concurrent Resolution 100 which designates September 24, 2009 as Islam Day. The State House had quietly approved the measure without dissent March 17.

Introduced March 4 as HCR100 by Reps Faye Hanohano (D-Puna), Lyla Berg (D-Hawai`i Ka`i), and Della Au Belatti (D-Makiki) HCR proposed Islam Day to be “November 21, 2009, marks the anniversary of the founding of Islam….” But that was soon amended to HCR100HD1 which intones, “the Prophet Mohammad left his house to migrate to Madinah and reached Quba in the vicinity of Madinah on the 12th day of Rabi ul-Awwal according to the lunar calendar, or September 24th according to the Gregorian calendar, thereby marking the birth of Islam….” (Emphasis added)

This is false. September 24th is the date of Mohammad’s arrival in Medina according to the old Julian calendar—which is 13 days behind the modern Gregorian calendar. The fact that “Gregorian” is mentioned in the resolution implies that somebody was considering the two calendars.

Had the Hawaii legislature intended to mark the Julian date September 24 they would have picked the Gregorian date October 7, 2009 for Islam Day. Had they wished to mark the date celebrated each year by Muslims, that would have been the “12th day of Rabi ul-Awwal”—March 9, 2009.

But instead they picked the modern Gregorian date September 24, 2009. This day corresponds to no holiday in the Islamic calendar. But on the Julian calendar it is September 11, 2009.

Hey, what else can we expect these days? Hawaii, how else are ya gonna screw us? First you claim B0 was born there and now this? Perhaps we would have been better off if the Japanese had taken the island so they could have done to you what they did all over the Pacific and China. Can't wait for New York to follow your lead!!!

We do live in interesting times

[Ben Mugged]

Hawaii has gone to the morons.

[jdfromny]

Sorry, I meant islands...

[metmom]

They think islam is so great? Just wait till they have to live under it.

This world deserves what God is going to give it some day. I never thought I’d get to the point of saying that, but the last 100 days or so have changed my mind.

The way things are going in this country, it won’t be long before 9/11 is a national holiday celebrating the Muslim victory against American imperialism. It will be the most sacred of all holidays (MLK day will be #2), marked by groveling apologies by the POTUS and other dignitaries. The culmination will be a mass bow toward Mecca.

[freekitty]

How can you not what what 9/11 stands for. These people need to go. The case is building regarding Obama being a Muslim.

[Joiseydude]

Hawaii has gone to the morons.

Smoking TOO much Maui wowie.

[CaptRon]

Where is the ACLU yelling about the separation of Church and State?

[Baladas]

Figures Ron Paul is implicated in something this kooky. Bet CAIR is laughing at how they tricked these dhimmi wannabees. Better hope they don’t “celebrate” that day they did last time. Tools.

[Da Coyote]

What passed can later be rejected.

No Hawaii vacations any more from wife and I until they do.

[Jewbacca]

I didn’t follow him, but a looney here (El Paso) who started off as a weird, but nice enough guy, and now constantly makes comments about how “Jews are in control” -— but “you’re OK” etc. is a big Ron Paul supporter.

I'm not vacationing in Hawaii either.

[mrmeangenes]

I know Canada is sometimes differently-abled, but how did September 24th become September 11th ?

By a 22-3 vote the Hawaii Senate May 7 approved House Concurrent Resolution 100 which designates September 24, 2009 as Islam Day.

By the way, JD: nice sentiments !!

[N3WBI3]

Some Hawaii based freepers should contact them.. They will either help or prove they are agenda driven..

[novemberslady]

Introduced March 4 as HCR100 by Reps Faye Hanohano (D-Puna), Lyla Berg (D-Hawai`i Ka`i), and Della Au Belatti (D-Makiki) HCR proposed Islam Day

Introduced by them...aided and abetted in passing it by others.
They knew exactly what they were doing.

And now you will celebrate islam on the equivalent of Sept 11.

You bastards.
Not one dollar of tourism money from me or mine hawaii.

[Don Corleone]

Hey Brudda, OK we suck back annudda Primo and celebrate our loss of Freedom! No worries, we go surf Makapu!

[kalee]

They only scream separation of church and state, this is mosque and state so it’s ok.

[SeattleBruce]

“Where is the ACLU yelling about the separation of Church and State?”

Selective hypocrisy. They can safely attack conservative Christians under the cloak of the law (under the cloak of night). The ACLU doesn’t exist in Muslim nations - gee, I wonder why...

[SeattleBruce]

I’m not vacationing in Hawaii either.

Let’s write and tell the morons in the state senate just that.
