I hear that there is to be a "Ramadan offensive" against the US, and they want the US to "recognize" Ramadan officially? I think that is just TWISTED!!

[Maceman]

WOnder how many COngressional reps will support this.

Congress Urged to Recognize the Beginning of Ramadan

By practicing "Duck & Cover"

[Maceman]

It is the month in which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures

Does "sensual pleasures" include wife beating?

[cripplecreek]

I suggest that we all write to our congressmen and "dare" them to support this crap.

[Brilliant]

What about the separation of church and state?

[BigFinn]

Ramadan is expected to begin on October 4 or 5 this year, depending on the sighting of the new moon. It is the month in which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from dawn to sunset for the sake of spiritual jihad renewal.

[GRANGER]

For full disclosure, Congress critters need to go here:

I wonder if they would be willing to propose a resolution among their religious leaders recognizing the Christian celebration of Christmas. Their recognition and acknowledgment of the birth of Christ, the Son of God, would go a long way in patching the divide in the mutual understanding of the two religions.

[sheik yerbouty]

We should salute Ramadan with B 52s and air mail gifts! Allahu fubar!

[Rummyfan]

No, No, and Hell No!

Will a 21-bomb salute on terrorist safe houses in Iraq suffice as an appropriate recognition?

Congress Urged to Recognize the Beginning of Ramadan

If it results in Hillary having to wear a Burka from head to toe, I am all for it.

[silverleaf]

Will Congress also pass equally worded resolutions recognizing "Rosh Hashanah" and "Yom Kippur" ... ?

[silverleaf]

CAIR said it is asking mosques and Islamic centers nationwide to host a "Sharing Ramadan" Iftar, or fast-breaking meal, to enhance understanding of Islam and to encourage Americans of all faiths meet their Muslims neighbors.

It's Happy Hour at the neigborhood mosque, folks! Sheep's eyes for everyone! Come on out and sign up your teenage son for an enlightening cross-cultural Camp Jihadi experience "somewhere in Pakistan".....

[tacticalogic]

Sounds good. Call it "National Range Day". Everyone gets the day off for target practice.

[Republicus2001]

heh, at California State University Northridge, officials long ago banned Hillel, the Newman Club and other religious groups from meeting as a conflict between church and state. But every fall the bleating of the goats horn can be heard from campus as thousands celebrate Ramadan on the main quad in front of the Oviatt Library.

[Gator113]

October 4 or 5 this year........!!!!! No way!! I think I might cook a pig on those days.

To hell with those freaks......Pig Fat RULES!!

[Designer]

Well, heck, why don't we just go on ahead and recognize the END of it too? (And I think you know what I mean.)
