It’s an important question to ask because doing just that is on California's legislative agenda.
Should California codify Islamic religious observances into state-recognized holidays in the United States?
As a nation, the essence of who we are as a People is rooted in our Judeo-Christian values and principles, dating back to the Magna Carta. This shared moral vocabulary has shaped Western thinking since America’s founding. Why, then, would any State in the Union formally endorse or incorporate into our educational and other public institutions a religious doctrine with practices antithetical to the belief system?
AB 2017, introduced by Progressive Democrats Assemblyman Matt Haney and Senator Aisha Wahab, proposes adding Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) to California’s recognized holidays. If enacted, the bill would do the following:
-Authorize public schools and community colleges to close in observance of these holidays
- Expand the list of excused absences statewide
- Establish formal recognition of Islamic religious practices within taxpayer-funded institutions
What must be noted regarding this legislative proposal is the historical foundation in American law and government. What America’s Founding-era figures openly and in writing acknowledged is that our Judeo-Christian moral beliefs, not Islam, influenced the foundation of our system of government and legal system.
The Jews introduced monotheism into the earth realm and gave us the Holy Scriptures, including the Ten Commandments, which, since the Birth of our Nation, have been displayed on numerous public buildings as a “foundational” historical document. In truth, such documents were once taught in our finest schools and universities alongside Scripture and the Hebrew language.
These Judeo-Christian beliefs include deeply held concepts such as the inherent dignity of man, God-given Natural Rights, and the Rule of Law—all grounded in ethical and moral accountability.

Sharia law will be next.
Holidays you mean? Make Ramadan and stuff holidays? Yeah that’s around the corner. Where I work a lot of muslims go through all that stuff. The fasting makes them weak/dehydrated. And it seems to go on forever. So you have to help them with their work.
What happens when you try to observe Christian holidays in Muslim countries?
1 then 2 then three. Then, Christian holidays will be considered expensive to keep, so they’ll be gone.
Then you’ll be killing cattle in the street and skinning them alive during Eid.
Just like Juneteenth and Indeginous People Day... a joke that I scratch out on my frig calendar every year.
islam is using our freedoms against us.
And anyone who objects is labeled an Islamophobe.
Amazing how docile White Americans get when threatened with being accused of bias of any kind.
I never woulda thought there were so many weak minded people in this country until covid......that showed me what absolute sheeple we have in this country now.....and it may very well may be our undoing one day.
What happens when you try to observe Christian holidays in Massachusetts? We have a "Winter break" around Dec 25 and we have a "Spring break" in April. But MA does not recognize any Christian holidays. But I bet we adopt Muslim holidays real soon.
Yet, capitulation is surrender.
It CANNOT happen if we are going to survive.
To see what our future would be, just look at any all muslim run country.
“...Senator Aisha Wahab...”
I see the problem. /spit
Don’t forget Cinco de Mayo. Another sham “holiday.”
don’t need guns a rockets to conquer a country, just open the doors & vote in the insurrection
If half the children in a district won’t attend school on a scheduled day due to religious observation, perhaps the school should be closed that day.
Numbers make the rule.
Blue Laws and Church Bells because lots of Christians.
Folks walking on Saturdays, fur hats, little symbols on food packaging because of Jews.
7 year old brides, public flogging, and C4 waistbands because of Mooselimbia
Some things are just interesting alternatives.
Somec shiiite is just bad
We can still choose the way forward.
HISTORY - 1400 years / over 700 MILLION innocent people murdered by Muslims!
“Muslims” A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet....... And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government.
Can American voters be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves, our kids and grand-kids AND our future???
Where are all the liberals that cry about separation of Church and State?
“Sharia law will be next.”
And then the subjugation of all non muslims.
“Muslim Holidays”
Not a classic oxymoron but does get an Honorable Mention.
Yet, capitulation is surrender.
Look no further than our Congress.
Not sure for whom Congress works, but it isn’t for We the People.
3 holidays only!
Independence Day
Veterans Day
Memorial Day
Scrap the other mercantile rubbish.
If you want a religious or thankfulness day off... use vacation time.
You cut the throat of your own culture.
Next question.
