Happy Thanksgiving - Except if you are Muslim

Ask The Imam ^

[isthisnickcool]

We have studied the background of Thanksgiving day- to express gratitude to the favours of the natives of the 16th century. IN principal to express gratefulness and gratitude for favours rendered is encouraged. However, Thanksgiving being a national holiday express its salient position in the American culture, which has many unislamic values and principles. Celebrating Thanksgiving purposefully or subordinately is an expression of accepting the general American Culture. It is not celebrated independent of the American Culture. In view of the above it is not permissible to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

Mufti Ebrahim Desai FATWA DEPT.

From our "friendly" Moslem cleric at "ask the Imam". What is "Ask the Imam" you say? Well, if you really want to learn how the real Islam works go here.

It's like going to the local mosque and talking to one of the Islamic clerics. Actually better, because Mufti Ebrahim Desai is one of their mucket-d-mucks. Who apparently just saw fit to issue a Fataawa agaist Thankgiving in the United States.

Screw 'em, who wants goat with all the trimmings anyway.

[ovrtaxt]

Good. Yet another reason to enjoy Thanksgiving.

[Kolokotronis]

Oh, this is just great! What jerks!

[jocon307]

That's it, throw them all out. If you don't want to be American, don't live in America. I'm sure the Saudis will be glad to have you, to serve as underpaid serfs.

"Well Mufti, ya kin stick that in yer turban and smoke it!"

[Pete'sWife]

I'll bet they took the day off, anyway.

[Gingersnap]

Check your facts, Abdul. Thanksgiving is a holiday for the purpose of giving thanks to GOD, not human beings.

Since you guys don't believe in my God, I've got no problem with you sitting home writing fatwas.

[JudyinCanada]

Why don't they all just go home? Back to their land? What is so wrong with wanting them all to live in their Muslim countries? We won't bother them and they needn't bother us.

Pass the ham.

Hey Imam:

Why are all your people backward, violent, and unprogressive? Why do people like you remain in power while the great number of Muslims are oppressed, silenced, and downtrodden? Why does Yassir Arafat steal billions from the mouths of his people, and yet people like you say it's Jews oppressing the Palistinians? Why do you send your children and poor out to blow themselves up, but the people in power seem to stay safe in their palaces and mosques? Why is the greatness of Islam unable to develop a society beyond the twelfth century? Isn't Islam really about keeping the powerful powerful and the weak weak?

Just thought I'd ask.

Well then, if loving your family, thanking God for all the blessings we've been given, and having a lovely meal to celebrate is FATWA-worthy, then he can just go FATWA himself.

AND, I'll be sure to mention this to the two Marines from our local base, who will be sharing our Thanksgiving table, because they would have been dining alone otherwise.

The GALL.

Gee, this is a bit more permissive than their instructions for Christmas.

If I recall from last year, "Ask The Imam" said that muslims should do everything possible to avoid interacting with non-muslims, because they might have to deal with someone saying "Merry Christmas."

Islam = the religion of mental illness.

The wind blew and the feces flew.

[gaspar]

In the American melting pot, Muslims don't melt. Send this article to your congressman. (Forget the Senators; they are almost uniformally a worthless pack.)

Who gives a rat's rearend what muslims think about anything, anyway?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

[John Thornton]

I would be even more thankful if these anti-American Moslems would just GO HOME!

[JimRed]

...who wants goat with all the trimmings anyway.

Not too bad if slow-cooked with curry.

[expatguy]

Makes it kinda hard to assimilate does it not?
