Tlaib and Omar Co-sponsor Bill to Recognize Muslim Holidays as Federal Holidays

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...

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib = enemies inside the gates and seated in power.

The Islamification of the USA Government moving along very well it would surely appear. And some said it would never happen.

BTW we will now see why they keep muslim women, like these two, in their homes and out of their politics.

Stated.....”Omar and Tlaib justified their work as making America .....moving us further away from our history as a primarily Christian nation”.

They don’t hide what they’re doing.....This IS the Islamification of the USA ‘from within’...just as Islamic leaders said they would.

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.

We predict that the next thing we can expect from this pair of women will be ‘Sharia Law appearing as a rider’ to their legislation.

Correction to my #80.

I believe the law requires banks to not be closed more than THREE days in a row, instead of the 2 days I stated.

They already said they will sue for religious discrimination if their demands that bill isn’t brought to a vote immediately.

They couldn’t throw their weight around in their own country so they’ve come here to throw it around in ours. And the Islamic nations will fund every suit these ladies want to bring.

President Donald J Trump was asked by a reporter about the bill being put forth by Freshman Representatives Omar and Tlaib.

Mr Trump’s succinct response?... “HELL NO.”

Update bitt:

Trump was asked about this in interview this morning...said “Hell No”

questioned further about his thoughts on the matter, Mr Trump responded, “Mark my words, if that comes to me, I’ll take my best black marker, believe me its great. It works like no other black marker you’ve seen, it’s a yuge black great thing, and I’ll write straight across that bill — V – E – T – O. High Tax, High Crime Nancy Pelosi and Head Clown Chuck Schumer won’t be able to get it passed. Trust me.”

They can say what they will. Congress has its own rules. Courts won’t get involved

“Where are the Tea Party marches, that need to be organized, on the Mall??”

They’re all headed for the range. Emphasis on combat shooting.

Rashida and Omar will discover that this isn’t Cairo or Kabul or Europe. Infidels have the right to self defense here in the Great Satan.

If it happens, I’ll sure to celebrate by making a Ham and wrapping it in Bacon.

Then go around destroying any monuments the goat humpers happen to erect.

Since the Islamic holidays are based upon the loony lunar observational calendar they cannot be predicted in advance.

Huh?

I'm pretty sure that humans have been on top of lunar cycles for thousands of years now.

Make them all holidays - soon, instead of about a 240 day work year, we can be down to maybe 100 work days a year and use minimum pay hikes to make sure everyone has lots to live on....

The ACLU would oppose this Bill only if it sought to add Channuka, Rosh Hashona or Yom Kippur to the list of federal holidays. Then, the ACLU would feel compelled to argue that the inclusion of those holidays would amount to governmental action related to religion contrary to the Establishment Clause. But, since the holidays to be added are Muslim, the ACLU will conclude that the failure to include them would be discriminatory.

Good going, liberals.

I think Trump will carry at least 40 states in 2020.
