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

Oh, no, Calapernia !!
You've inspired me to song !!!
( You know you're going to hate it...)

All together now : Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

(Child's voice)

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.

Irvington is a black town where most were Baptists and Methodists. Seems Farrakhan has been spending his billions wisely while proselytizing his militant, anti-white form of Islam to the black community.

Wouldn't separation of church and state as defind by the left demand that ALL religious holidays be abandoned by the schools?

The Eid holiday ...

Why are they allowed to call it the "Eid holiday", but have to use "Winter break" and "Spring break" instead of Christmas and Easter?

Why would an Islamic school give anyone a day off for Jewish or Christian holidays? Do Jewish schools give anyone a day off for Islamic or Christian holidays? Do Christian schools give anyone a day off for Jewish or Muslim holidays? The schools in question are not religious schools.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The infiltration continues unabated. Just wait until they are Dim judges.

""Up to now, the major holidays have either been Christian or Jewish," said Frank Belluscio, a spokesman for the New Jersey School Boards Association. "But now we're diversifying, and I'm sure this is something we'll see other districts doing in the future.""

Gee, how swell................you idiot.

Don't take into consideration that we're an overwhelmingly Christian nation with incredibly strong Judeo-Christian roots and beliefs. Don't take into consideration that we're at war with radical Islam around the world..........that those lovely little darlings live in households that probably clapped their filthy hands in glee on 9/11 or whenever GI's are blown up by cowards in Iraq.

Don't let that bother you, you drooling excuse of an educrat.

That's the first thing I thought as well.

will someone tell this idiot that we do not celebrate any religous holidays at all.....we celebrate "winter holiday" ....

I expect people to sue the districts about this....

IF you can't even mention Christmas for the Christmas holidays, then I sure as hell don't think any other religous group should get special recongnition....

Irvington, NJ, is a city primarily consisting of blacks; it borders Newark and it looks like the claws of Calypso Singer Louie Farrakhan grabbed and converted a large portion of the residents to his brand of Islam.

It would be more productive in the long run to just close the schools and leave them closed.

no, but then again, Catholic schools don't take off for Yom Kippur either. and anyway, I am not yet aware of any Islamic schools here in the States.
