I don't understand what you said. You asked if Islamic schools give students days off for Christian and Jewish holidays. Right?
I'm asking you if we are supposed to do what they do, or if we are trying to be better people than they are?
What do you think?

I didn't ask. It is a rhetorical statement because they do not.
Private Islamic schools do not give off for nonmuslim holidays. Nor do Jewish schools.
I don't support Public schools giving off for non Christian holidays.

You ignore the fact that the stamp was issued before 9/11, and that the calligraphy would have been done many months before the stamp was issued. Yeah, that's his point. It's a big conspiracy. All the Muslims knew this months before and duped the Postal Service into printing a stamp showing the towers burning.
Very clever, they are.

This gives me the creeps. It's like finding out you have cancer. Indeed, our nation does have cancer. ....A cancer that can be cured by mass deporation and sealing of our borders, and the will to do it.

Private Islamic schools do not give off for nonmuslim holidays. Nor do Jewish schools. If half of a Jewish school's students were Christians, they would. It's just not common the way a large percentage of some area's Catholic schools are non-Christian.
I don't support Public schools giving off for non Christian holidays.
Why do you support giving Christian holidays off?
Furthermore, why would you support wasting taxpayer money?

Nonsense, in my opinion. I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy, and this one is way far-fetched.

NJ, the most Dem state in the nation. Dem governor, Dem legislature, 2 Dem senators, Most of the house delegation is Dem. Went for Gore. Lost cause.

Loking on the bright side, it will take these schools off the target list for the Eid celebrations. Prudent thing to do....

The Muslims give pineapples to Christians and Jews. The type that explode. Scary.

Now, why would you want to waste taxpayer money? It's a simple question.

So we are. It's still nonsense, though. But, there's a lot of nonsensical things discussed here on FR.

Honestly though, Irvington has bigger problems than this. If the Jihadi get out of control there, just tell the dealers that they want a piece of their hood and we won't have to worry about them.

Actually, since you are not from NJ, and you don't know the corruption that has run amuck here, that is not a question you can poise to me about ME wanting to waste tax payers money.
Plus, I believe you posted the pretense of most of the children being absent from school that day anyway to change the argument to about me wanting to waste tax payers money.
Why don't you trying supporting that theory first; then I'll engage with you about me wanting to waste tax payers money.

If it doesn't snow
On Eid al-Fitr
How's the Prophet gonna come to slay ?
If it starts to rain
Will a camel train
Come to speed him on his way ??
If it doesn't snow
On Eid al-Fitr
How's Mohammed gonna get to us ??
They won't let him fly
Through American sky
Or ride a train or bus !!

Paterson has been doing this for a good number of years and some Clifton Schools have a Ramadan table in the cafeteria for the kids who can't eat during their holiday about a month.
