Tlaib and Omar Co-sponsor Bill to Recognize Muslim Holidays as Federal Holidays (repost)
So Right It Hurts ^ | January 12, 2019 | Mary Parsons

Posted on 02/20/2019 10:47:24 AM PST by yoe

Freshman Congressmen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have wasted no time in shaking up the US House of Representatives. Early Friday morning, Omar and Tlaib introduced a bill adding Islamic holidays to the Federal calendar which has traditionally only recognized American holidays.

Omar and Tlaib’s bill would add Eid Al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan and the four-day-long celebration of Eid Al-Adha to the list of Federally recognized holidays, potentially granting reasons to banks, schools, and other businesses to remain closed for five additional days per year.

Omar and Tlaib justified their work as making America more inclusive of it’s Muslim-American population and moving us further away from our history as a primarily Christian nation. The women are also considering a last minute addition to their bill that would allow for regular Salah time breaks for school children and workers as well as a designated area in each public business where Muslims could perform Salah, the five daily prayers plus the Friday prayer, unmolested.

We are a Judeo-Christian nation and we don't even recognize Jewish holidays as federal holidays. This rapid introduction of a bill favoring Muslims speaks to the agenda of Muslims in congress. We are NOT a Muslim nation. And remember the first thing Tlaib said after being sworn in was "we are going to impeach that motherf#$^%r". Both are activists for the Muslim brotherhood/Islam.

"The House of Representatives Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer, is reviewing the legislation and determining if he can get the votes to pass the bill. Anonymous sources say Omar and Tlaib are threatening court action if Hoyer should choose not to acquiesce to their demands for immediate vote and consideration on the grounds of religious discrimination." True or false, don't be fooled by the smiles, these are truly dangerous Muslims, dangerous to Freedom and Liberty for Americans....

No Way! Islam is a cult, not a religion. It is enough that we recognize Christian holidays. Stop there. Others don’t like, go home, else use your personal time off, or renounce your cults and religions.

OK, on Holidays I usually load up my truck and go out and do a lot of shooting.

The more opportunity for shooting, the better, right?

These imbeciles have no respect for congress and no love for the USA.

They’re giggly, empty-headed little schoolgirls who think it’s all a big joke.

“Banks cannot be closed for more than 3 consecutive days......................”

If we go this route there will be no banks as we know them, or bacon, or dogs, or anything else good.

Hold on a minute and think about it.

Every day the ‘government’ bureaucrats aren’t at work, is one less day they can create chaos and mischief!

States are not obligated to follow Federal holidays, so schools etc. can remain open.

This might not be such a bad idea!.................

What is with these anti-American moozlums? They can take their sharia and shove it. By the way, did they each have a clitoridectomy? If not...why not???

Two word response - last word is “no.”

However, I could approve National Bacon and Pork Day as a Federal holiday.

Or maybe Israel Independence Day.

Let’s see if they like those instead?

The day of the first bombing at the end of Ramadan should be national holiday. Other holidays:

Acid Tossing festival

Driving Into a Crowd memorial Day

Random Stabbing Weekend

Kill a Cop for no Arrest Day

Islam in any form and any venue, is incompatible with America. Muslims are not our friends, regardless what they say in public. The Koran prohibits it.
