Muslims Erupt As School Board Refuses To Shut School For Islamic Holiday
Breitbart ^ | 4-24-2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/24/2018 9:59:39 AM PDT by blam

Muslim parents recently erupted when the Jersey City school board announced it would not suddenly cancel classes for all students to mark Islam’s Eid al-Adha holiday, due Sept. 24. The Muslim parents loudly protested even though the board said students “can continue to take days off for religious purposes without penalty,” including Sept. 24. But the parents wanted the state to accept their religious event, and to impose their holiday on other students.

One Muslim woman who attended the September 17 meeting said, “‘We’re no longer the minority, that’s clear from tonight. We’re going to be the majority soon.”

According to Daily Mail, the Jersey City school board had “originally proposed” cancelling classes on the 24 but “voted to keep Jersey City schools open so as not to cause disruptions for non-Muslim families.” Board member Gerald Lyons explained that deciding to close the school “on six days’ notice…[would] cause undue hardship on 5,000 to 10,000 people, who are going to have to scramble to [make arrangements] for…children” being at home instead of school.

When the board announced this decision “several of the Muslim parents and children screamed in rage and openly wept.” Eid al-Adha is one “of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims around the world to mark the end…of Ramadan.”

“several of the Muslim parents and children screamed in rage and openly wept.”

Great. Just what we need - more snowflakes.

Better than giving them their own schools is preventing them from coming here in the first place. Obama went nuts with his welcoming communities EO’s, seeding these civic tumors all over the country.

The floodgates seem to have opened when Bush I got in. That’s when I started noticing all the convenience stores and fast food joints being owned by Muslims.

The invaders are succeeding and were letting them. How many are here illegally and expired visas and not property vetted and chained into the country? Of course, ICE is nowhere to be found and deportation is nothing but a silly waste of time if they're caught and released.

We need to expel Islam from this country or it will never be “great again”.
Islam is not a religion, it is Fascism behind a mask of religion.

So, England doesn't like the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel! Imagine that! How the British have passively succumbed to the Muslim invasion: Mayor of London ... MUSLIM Mayor of Birmingham ... MUSLIM Mayor of Leeds ... MUSLIM Mayor of Blackburn ... MUSLIM Mayor of Sheffield ... MUSLIM Mayor of Oxford .. MUSLIM Mayor of Luton .... MUSLIM Mayor of Oldham ... MUSLIM Mayor of Rochdale .... MUSLIM All the following achieved by just 4 million Muslims out of the 66 million population: Over 3,000 Muslim Mosques Over 130 Muslim Sharia Courts Over 50 Muslim Sharia Councils Muslims Only No-Go Areas Across The UK Muslim Women...78% don't work and are on FREE benefits/housing Muslim Men...63% don't work and are on FREE benefits/housing Muslim Families...6-8 children planning to go on FREE benefits/housing and now all UK schools are ONLY serving HALAL MEAT! …and we (the USA) and (CANADA) can't decide on an immigration policy??? One of the ways to combat this is to keep circulating information such as this e-mail around our United States and Canada to inform the uninformed who mainly only listen and read the left leaning US and Canadian radio/TV and newspapers. I have not seen this in the US or Canadian media…have you?

Except these enraged musselmen may start driving on sidewalks and blowing people up.

I got my results from my ancestry.com DNA test and I am about 24% Puerto Rican.

All the Puerto Ricans and Americans should get together and have a Peurto Rican style pig roast.

Contact Rep. Tom Cotton. He’s proposing a Bill that would halve legal immigration and end ‘chain migration’. Support him and the Bill by e mailing the White House and your other Rep.s.

These nuts illustrate the real motive in keeping the borders open, especially in dying states like NJ: In areas abandoned by most Americans and their employers years ago, this imported riff-raff is the only way to keep the government worker caste employed - at the expense of American taxpayers across all fifty states. When Dems like Nancy Pelosi say a government check is as good as a paycheck, what they really mean is they have a way of injecting taxpayer funds into hopeless sh!tholes to preserve some semblance of commerce - and keep the pay flowing through government workers’ checks to the Democratic Party.

In previous times, ghost towns would be left in the wake of prosperity as people moved on; now that is forbidden, and billions will be spent pretending Detroit, Harlem, and NJ are viable places...

My town (bordering Jersey City, the locale in this news story) now has a charter school in a closed Catholic school. The students are primarily Turks from Jersey City, and since charter schools are public schools MY TOWN’S TAXPAYERS GET TO PAY FOR JERSEY CITY TURKS’ EDUCATION.
