If you think a school with muslim holidays is a start, well it is about equal with the Michigan call to prayer speakers.

Take a look at this one, I think it upsets me, who is next?

To me, I think of Spain, and they did not even need to set off the bombs.

I'd be curious to know if they've curtailed Christian holidays (calling them "winter break" or "holiday break). Seems like only Muslims are making in-roads in our country's schools, businesses and airports these days.
