Bill de Blasio has added two Muslim holidays to the school calendar, but isn’t on board with adding the Hindu festival of Diwali. As usual, this isn’t about diversity, it’s about Muslim Privilege.
A spokesman for the Indian community appealed to the mayor to recognize the Hindu holiday.
“We are disappointed. We’ve been trying for a long time … It’s very important for the community,” said Dr. Shashi Shah of the Association of Indians in America.
But he said he’d move forward with closing schools for Lunar New Year and for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Muslim holy days.
“It is complicated in terms of logistics and school calendar and budget. But it’s something I want to get done in a reasonable time frame,” he said.
So why two Muslim holidays and no Hindu holidays? Same reason Mayor William Wilhelm Jr. is ready to take apart New York City’s counterterrorism efforts. Here’s a snapshot of the Islamization of New York.
In the above photograph taken on McDonald Avenue in the heart of Brooklyn sits the community often referred to as “Little Bangladesh.”
What is not in photograph? Women, little girls, nor is there an American in sight, male, female, Black, White, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Polish, Jewish, Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, only Muslims.
A few blocks over is Coney Island Avenue where from Church Avenue down to until the middle of the Coney Island Avenue between Avenue J and K is another Muslim neighborhood or an extension of Little Bangladesh, I suppose. This community although Muslim is a Pakistani and I suspect Afghani community.
In the center of Coney Island Avenue between Avenues H and I is a movie theater. Just a few doors past this theater, a transformation of the neighborhood begins almost as if someone drew an imaginary line Coney Island Avenue transforms from a Muslim community to Jewish.
On the Jewish side of town, in addition to the yeshivas, synagogues, delis, bakeries and other Jewish businesses, one can find every ethnicity traveling, working and socializing in the area. However, as with Little Bangladesh, the “Muslim” side of Coney Island Avenue does not appear to be as neighborly. Just saying.
Last Friday, I went to a market to shop for Super Bowl Sunday. It has been several months since I shopped there. During my visit last summer, the owners were Dominican. The new owners are Muslim. Incredibly enough or not, after all this is a sanctuary city, the old management’s consisted of people from the Caribbean, Central and South America. Today, the Caribbean, Central and South American staff with the exception of three or four no longer work at the market. The Muslim owners replaced the staff with Muslims from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Africa all of whom wear these thick off-white gloves when handling food products at the butcher’s section, deli and cash register.
Surprisingly, today the Muslim owned supermarket sold pork chops, ribs and ham as did the butcher and the deli section of the supermarket. Three months from now, there will not be a strip of pork on the premises.
While in the area, I decided to stop by the deli two blocks from the market to pick up a salad on my way home. Imagine my shock when I realized that the deli is also under new management and its owners are two Muslims whom I noticed sell hookah pipes on the premises.
Not able to take much more, I headed home disappointed but not before I made the error of taking a route home that I rarely travel only to find out that seven blocks from my home, what was formerly a grocery store is now a mosque.
What is Bangladeshi immigration bringing to America? Aside from a plot to bomb the Federal Reserve by a Bangladeshi settler in Queens, there is the Bangladeshi emphasis on beating women.
About 87 per cent of Bangladeshi married women are abused by their husbands.
The survey found that domestic violence is present in most Bangladeshi households. Last year, 77 per cent of respondents admitted that they had been abused. Of these, 50 per cent had sustained serious injuries, but one in three women refused to go to hospital for fear of retaliation by the husband.
Christians and Jews have not killed Americans but Islam who has attacked us on 9/11 and Ft. Hood has. Do schools close down for Christmas or Hanukkah?
so, two planes slam into TWTC bringing them down, kill thousands of people and this jerk honors the religion by giving days off?
liberal logic, but God forbid if Christian students want to gather at the flagpole.
Sorry New Yorkers, I’m beginning to have less respect for you as I do Kalifornians.
Well the voters put this anti-American communist in office — let them live with their decision.
RE: Well the voters put this anti-American communist in office — let them live with their decision.
Just to put things in perspective, a less than 22% of eligible voters in NYC went out to vote last November.
That means a mere 15% or so of NYC voters voted for this jerk ( the rest went to his opponent, Joe Lhota ).
The rest of NYC were apathetic.
?”Do schools close down for Christmas or Hanukkah?”
Was that sarcastic?
Ah, diversity.
Yugo had a huge diversity in their engine specs...resulting in the worst car since GM started hiring MBAs instead of engineers.
Microsoft had some great diversity in their Windows quality and security a while back. That was wonderful too, not?
Personally, I’d like to see libtards “celebrate” their diversity fetish by flying only in soviet-era soviet built airliners piloted by quota kids who “earned” their wings just as the Obamadork “earned” his degrees.
(Apologies to all those minorities who are excellent pilots...I’ve trained many of you, and know your talents. Here, we’re talking about folks who love to give token degrees and certificates to folks who come nowhere near earning them.)
This idiot hyprocrite will not participate in St. Patrick’s Day parade “because they do not allow gay signs.”
Yet he pushes Muslim Holidays and attends every major Muslim political event. do they allow gay signs?
RE: He didn’t include Ashura?
I think that’s a peculiarly Shia religious Holiday where they commemorate the martyrdom at Karbala of Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (the Shiites claim he is the TRUE successor of Muhamamd ).
Most New York City Muslims are Sunni.
Why honor a “religion” that killed people on 9/11 and at Ft. Hood. That would be tantamount to having a religion honoring Japanese right after Pearl Harbor. There are no Christian or Jewish holidays honored in any public schools. It’s either called Winter Break or Spring break. And no, I was not being sarcastic.
Why do radical lefties LOVE the middle eastern death cult? Because most cultists are ignorant and stupid, making them perfect democrat voters.
Let’s close the schools on 9/11 so we don’t forget what the Muslims did to us.
Until just a few years ago it was called Christmas break
and in some areas it still is
but I see your point and you are right
The Mayor can do that, all on his own? Who does he think he is, Obastard?
this could be a good thing..... find a few more holidays (Camel Appreciation Day, Blow Up A Church Day, Behead a Jew Day, Polygamy Celebration Day, Bomb an Infidel Kindergarten Day....?) and ... pretty soon the crappy public schools will be shut down for good.

(make lemonade, make lemonade.._)
Since hardcore commies like De Blasio don’t believe in God or religion, you’d think it more likely that he’d remove some Christian and Jewish holidays instead of adding Muslim days.
