Muslim holidays urged in Baltimore County schools
The Washington Times ^ | 5-11-05 | Unknown

TOWSON, Md. (AP) -- Muslim parents and community leaders in Baltimore County have been lobbying for more than a year to get schools closed for two of their more important religious holidays. Schools are closed on Jewish and Christian holidays, they have argued repeatedly at school board meetings, so why not on Muslim holidays as well? Despite those efforts, the system's proposed calendar for the 2006-07 academic year does not close schools for Eid al-Fitr, which celebrates the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, which celebrates the Koranic account of God's allowing Abraham to sacrifice a sheep instead of his son.

Folks, this is just the beginning of a slow Muslim takeover of our country. What will be their next demand? I suggest any of you travel to a Muslim country and see how much freedom non-Muslim religions have.

They have done exactly the opposite.

You know, I had been thinking about this as well. You really would think that the Moose-limbs would be keeping a lower profile, but instead, they seem to have treated 9/11 as the first battle of a war. It makes me wonder how much of this is being co-ordinated from their mosques, financed courtesy of the the Wahhabis and the House of Saud.

How many Muslims in the United States and they want to dictate? Jews with about the same numbers in the population have lived in the US for years without this type rhetoric and demands, they prospered. Muslims want all the economic benefits that we offer but in a Johnny come-lately attitude want all we have to offer but none of our culture. One language, one culture, or its all over. Divide and Conquer. Thank the Liberals they have no clue.

The Blacks have no idea of their future if the Hispanics obtain any political control and insert their culture, and the Jews in the US should be aware of the Muslim intent in the US, Muslim attitude about Jews in the United States is no different than in the Mideast, Muslims and Illegal Hispanics in the States are not Americans, they want our goodies but not our culture.

Americans beware, Christmas is a thing of the past. Think about it. One language, one culture, Americans all, nothing hyphenated.

What would be wrong with letting local school boards set school holidays according to what the majority of parents and taxpayers in the local community want?

HUH? Let parents decide stuff?? What?? Are you nuts????

The schools would lose their power over the "ignorant, unwashed masses". They're liberal. Remember?
Abortion training would be out. Homo indoctrination would be sooooo yesterday. Earth worship would be put on that back burner. Parents would demand ......gasp!....academics be taught in the schools!!!!!!

Oh, the horror. The horror. The horror of it all.
Please, tell me you jest!!!!

And the non-Muslims have missing heads.

Anyone tell these farkin morons that not only is the date of these holidays not the same every year ( moves back about two weeks every year compared to our calendar ) and can only be estimated ahead of time to a few day window? They both can even hit during the Summer.

We really need some more human intelligence from inside those mosques.

"I have a better idea. Let's close down the public schools for 365 days each year."

EXCELLANT idea!

After 9/11 you'd think these people would keep a low profile.

These people have the same goal and agenda they have had since Mohammed humped his first camel in the seventh century.

A world dominated by Islam.

Their goal hasn't changed one bit and it will not change.

Like sharks to blood in the water or when a boxer sees an open cut on his opponent, they are moving in for the kill.

Pretty much my point. The goal has always been the same. They are more visible now because they seem themselves attaining it.

These murderous, overbearing bastards. They are trying to see how far they can push us. What unmitigated gall. I have a better idea: Why don't they all go back to where they came from and leave us the hell alone. If they don't like the way we do things in this country, there's no one holding a gun to their towel-wrapped heads making them stay. Let them return to the wonderful, prosperous, free Islamic societies where the school schedule follows their traditions.
