Muslim moms and dads in Dearborn, Mich. are upset after students received flyers promoting an Easter Egg hunt at a local Presbyterian church.
The parents say the egg hunt "violates the U.S. Constitution".
The Muslims told the Detroit Free-Press that they were concerned about the religious implications of Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church’s “Eggstravaganza!”
They were also "troubled" by images of a bunny rabbit.

I think even the word Easter has nothing to do with Christianity, though we use it. I believe it’s some ancient pagan god of fertility, so some such.
Bunnies and coloured eggs and chocolate....harmless and non-religious.
America and Canada should be brave and call it what it is - Resurrection Day. But that wouldn’t be possible, seeing as we’ve collectively lost our roots and don’t stand up for ourselves and our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Maybe they should have back then.
It was probably already too late.
LOL!
They would much rather have a good ol head lopping or stoning on the front lawn, women only please!
As a Christian, I do NOT know what the significance of the Easter Bunny is. IOW, as far as I know, THERE IS NOTHING RELIGIOUS about the Easter Bunny!
Even if there is some religious significance, Their complaint is laughable, and only further demonstrates their intolerance and ignorance of our laws.
Can someone please tell me how the Easter Bunny is religious?
Dearborn, Michigan.
Wonder how much muslim promotion is going on there. Are they interrupting the school day with prayers?
Nothing for nothing, my kids get scared when they see a muslim woman dressed in all black peering out of two little eye slits.
I’d be be mighty upset if they still call it Ramadan in the schools. We can’t call Dec 25 Christmas anymore.
“Ask for a #3 machine screw, and one for all your friends.”
Obamacare suppositories? How will that help?
The sad part of all this is the rest of us TOLERATE the muzzies and THEIR “concerns”. To hell with what THEY want, this is OUR country, Why are we or in particular, the media even listening to or responding to them? Ignore them and they just may find that they are NOT WELCOME here. Keep responding to their demands and they will only want more and more and more.......Muzzies OFFEND ME!
The flyers were distributed at a public elementary school.
Easter Bunny origin goes back to pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon history. The Pagans celebrated the goddess Eastre, the goddess of fertility of springtime. Her earthly symbol was a rabbit.
When the Ango-Saxons converted to Christianity the pagan holiday was combined in with the Christian celebration of Jesus’ resurrection, and was called Easter.
Qur'an (33:36) - "It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision."Sedition is also unconstitutional.Qur'an (45:21) - "What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds,- that equal will be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make." [Unbelievers are not equal to Muslims.]
Qur'an (39:9) - "Are those who know equal to those who know not?"
Qur'an (4:141) - "...And never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way (to triumphs) over the believers." [This is at odds with democracy, which allows anyone to serve in a position of power over others regardless of religious belief.]
Qur'an (63:8) - "...might (power) belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers;" [ie. not to anyone else.]
Qur'an (5:49) - "So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires, but beware of them lest they seduce thee from some part of that which Allah hath revealed unto thee" [Allah's Qur'an takes priority over the desires of the people. A democratic nation is by nature one that is not governed by Islamic law, meaning that a Muslim citizen would have divided loyalty. It's clear from this verse which side he must choose.]
Qur'an (4:59) - "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you..." [Obedience is strictly limited to a government drawn from believers, not from the broader community. This verse has also been used to justify submission to autocratic rule, however oppressive it may by. As an Arab tradition put is: "tyranny is better than anarchy."]
Qur'an (9:3) - "...Allah and his messenger are free from obligation to the unbelievers..." [Muhammad used this "revelation" to dissolve a standing treaty and chase non-Muslims from their homes if they wouldn't accept Islam.]
From the Hadith:
Muslim (19:4294) - "When you meet your enemies who are polytheists [Christians...], invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them ... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them"
Bukhari (88:219) - "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler."
Bukhari (89:251) - Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me."

They got an invitation to an Easter Egg Hunt...
Uh...geee....don’t have the guts to explain to you kid they CAN’T GO, because it violates YOUR religion?
It is not YOUR religious/secularist practice, so don’t go! They do not have the right to interfere with the event.
America is crumbling.
I think they were complaining about flyers for a religion-associated event being passed out at public school.
But their principled objections will vanish when it's time to invite people to Eid celebrations, or to visit the local mosque.
