Why don't they just buy a calendar with the Muslim Holidays on it. Or write them in themselves. Or, horrors, publish their own!
As an aside, I've seen very few, as in no, calendars that list Jewish holidays other than those published for that purpose.

Maybe we'll do this when calenders in Islamic countries start including Jewish and Christian holidays.

It's not hard to remember September 11. I don't think it has to be printed on the calendar.

Isn't every day a holy day for them? If so, then there'd be no room left to scribble in "soccer practice 4 - 6 pm".

Where the hell does this woman get this 8 million person figure? I thought at last count it was 4 million one year ago, a 100% increase in one year? Don't think so.

I have a better idea.
Let's include the North American Graded Stakes events on all calendars, and say we forced the calendar makers to include something that they otherwise never would have included.

When we start observing and respecting Christian holidays, only then will I support such an idea.
BTW, I expect this to happen about the same time as the sun begins to rise in the south.

Maybe we'll do this when calenders in Islamic countries start including Jewish and Christian holidays.Indonesia, the largest Islamic county in terms of population, observes holidays of Islam, Christian, Buddhism, and Hinduism. All are recognized as national holiday. But, then, these people were part of the nation since its conception.

Good idea, and maybe that can happen just after the First Babtist/Methodist, etc. Church of Saudi Arabia opens.

No one knows, we don't track religion here. Most of the 4 to 7 million estimates come from groups like CAIR. They count all Arabs as Muslim, despite the fact that most are Christian. I've read estimates of 2 million or so, which is probably closer to the truth.

When Muslims start putting Israel on their maps, I'll entertain the idea of putting their holidays on my calendar.

Chanukah, Purim, Passover,Yom Kippur are listed on many secular calenders to name a few. We have several secular calenders around the house from different places and have these holidays listed.
