These two holidays shouldn't be cause for concern. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and those holidays will fall on any given day of the year given enough time.

We are currently in the Islamic year 1425 AH. These two items refer to the dates on the Western calendar for those holidays in the Islamic years 1416AH and 1415AH, which would be 9 and 10 years ago.

June 9 - Holiday Moslem : Ashura (Muharram 10, 1416 AH)
June 10 - Holiday Islam : New Year's Day (Muharram 1, 1415 AH)

Interesting, although I havent historically verified it.....

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS......  it worked once in our History...

Once in U.S.  history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped.  It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen.  John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison.  There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.

Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style.  The U.S.  soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat.  Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood.  This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.

All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies.  The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others.  This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.

Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make them flinch.

They welcome the chance to die for Allah.  Like Gen.  Pershing, we must show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs of the devil.
