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...

The Hindus and Buddhists and Jews don’t have federal holidays.

Who the hell do these people think they are?

When you move to another country you accept the holidays it has in place. Imagine moving to Saudi Arabia (like anyone would want to) and telling them to celebrate Easter and Christmas. This is going to be a real test of backbone, and I fear everyone will cower.

When will it become evident that those who support Shariah Law (Islam), are calling for the destruction of our Republic, and Constitutional form of government. They are sworn to a foreign ideology that calls for the conquest of the entire world by Islam.

This is treason, especially for those who are naturalized citizens. It is a direct violation of their oath of citizenship. These individuals need to have their citizenship taken, and they then need to be deported to their home country of origin.

Five days? There is one Christian holiday on the calendar.

Which is one more day then there are Jewish holidays on the calendar. And the Jewish population in the U.S. is about 3 times the current Muslim population.

Well, at least until Nanzi and her friends on the left blow open the borders.

The self appointed conquerors of the world for Islam, that’s who. The meaning of the word “Islam” is submission, and that’s what they want for the rest of the world. Submission to their demands. Sounds a lot like the Nazis and Emperor Worshipers during WWII.

Some branch banks can be closed while the main branch may be opened for short hours on a Saturday.

uh, Christmas might pass as a Christian Holiday. Tell public school teachers it’s religious and they shouldn’t get the day off. The the fun ensues.

National, NO. National holidays are based
on US history and specific events. If
these people want a holiday to celebrate
a part of their history, they can as for
time off or call in sick. We’re a
Christian nation.

Gee, that didn’t take long. The bill must have been all written up by CAIR and ready to roll.

What about the Shiite holiday where the participants beat and cut themselves? Do Tlaib and Omar want that, too, or are they just a pair of intolerant Sunnis?

No! The US will not submit to being changed into a third world country, even though many residents are trying to do so.

Plus, by law, banks cannot remain closed more than two days in a row.
