It's Time to Put Muslim Holidays in US Calendars
Al Jazeeran ^ | February 25, 2006 | Jane Jewell

Al-Jazeerah, February 25, 2006

Dear Muslims in America,

May I suggest that it is time you got yourselves established as part of the American Way of Life, and not people of a religion that belongs to ‘them’ and not to ‘us’.

I have been sending the following email to various calendar makers. You may like to do the same and get your holidays included in the 2007 calendars.

I have noticed that many calendars in the USA list the Christian and the Jewish holidays, but not the Muslim ones.

As there are now 8 million Muslims in the USA, exceeding the 6 million Jews, Islam is now the second most popular religion in the USA, after Christianity.

I feel that their holidays should also be included in the yearly calendars.

 Here is the list of Muslim Holidays that could be included on 2007 calendars.

BTW, if you are wondering why the dates of the Muslim Holidays are 10 or 11 days earlier each year, it is because they follow the lunar year, which is about 355 days.

So the dates for 2007 will not work for 2008! 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Jane Jewell,

‘14 friends of Palestine, Marin’, founder.

OUCH! Good one. Who in America cares about their 100 holidays or their 100000 "holy" sites? Geez, they need to be a little less obvious when invading a culture...

Virtually all of my secular calendars also have Muslim holidays listed, including the calendar on my Palm PDA, etc. But since Muslims are more equal than others, I guess they want them listed in giant letters, or, in fact, maybe we should remove a few Jewish and Christian ones to make more room for the Islamic ones.

It's time to take Muslim holidays off of Middle Eastern calendars and replace them with Christian ones.

It not only is not time to put these "Holidays" in our calenders, but it's past time to deport the Muzzies from the U.S.

What a crock of sh**!

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.

A looked at a couple, and they weren't, though I know may do. But that's a long way from listing the Jewish Holidays.

MAJOR BARF ALERT!!!!


December 07, 2004

How can we help? Here are 14 ways:

Jane and Chris Jewell sponsored a concert to help build Palestinian homes. Last Saturday their friends met at their home in Marin County, CA, to discuss how they can help Palestinians. Here is what they they came up with:

Our group has grown from around 6, to 12, to 13, a Baker’s dozen - Now we are Fourteen Plus! We plan to meet once a month to organize projects selected from any of the ideas below – these are just my ideas, you are welcome to add to the list if you feel this is not enough.

Here are 14 ways:

1. Support any of the big organizations that are working for the Palestinian cause in whatever way we can. . Organise a fundraiser . Give a house party, concert, or dinner for 6/8/10/12….

2. Educate ourselves. Obtain information about the atrocities being committed against the Palestinians, from any of the following websites. Join their mailing lists.

- Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions:www.icahd.org (Jeff Halper)
- Rebuilding Alliance www.rebuildingalliance.org
- International Solidarity Movement http://palsolidarity.org
- Jewish Voice For Peace www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org
- If Americans Knew www.ifamericansknew.org (American journalist, Alison Weir)
- Sustain www.sustaincampaign.org
- Rachel Corrie www.rachelcorrie.org (read Rachel’s letters)
- Middle East Childrens’ Alliance www.mecaforpeace.org
- Israeli Refusniks http://oznik.com
- US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation www.endtheoccupation.org
- Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign http://www.pengon.org, http://www.stopthewall.org

3. Support the Rachel Corrie Resolution. Our Representative, Lynn Woolsey, has already cosponsored the Resolution H Con Res 111. However, many USA Reps have not. Ask friends and relatives from out-of-state, or outside Marin, to contact their Rep. 77 cosponsors so far, out of 435 Representatives. Pathetic!
http://capwiz.com/adc/issues/alert/?alertid=1795771
http://congress.nw.dc.us/arab/issues/bills/?bill=1891931

4. Petition KQED to show John Pilger’s film, “Palestine is still the Issue.”
If you would like this award-winning documentary aired on KQED, please contact:
Jeff Clarke, President, at jclarke@kqed.org or phone 415 553 2301
The PBS in Buffalo, New York has already aired it, and San Francisco should do the same. If enough of us petition KQED in San Francisco, it will persuade those sitting on the fence to agree to show the film.
Host a gathering to show them this film, and ask them to do the same, so it snowballs.

5. Display a ‘free Palestine’ sticker on the back of your car. Plenty for sale on the Internet!
http://www.palestineonlinestore.com/flags.htm
http://www.palestineonlinestore.com/wholesale.htm
Now you have to always drive courteously.

6. TALK: Tell your friends about what the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinian people, funded by our tax dollars. (USA sends more military aid to Israel than to the whole continent of Africa.) It is our money that is causing their suffering, and therefore our responsibility to stop it. Increase public awareness. Pass on information about Palestine to your friends. Go to lectures about Palestine.

7. Deliver flyers, forward emails, and so on. If Americans Knew need people to pass out flyers. Go round Safeway’s parking lot and leave 50 on car windscreens. Or Costcos, or Whole Foods, or anywhere. How about the traffic jam on Richmond Bridge?

8. Write to the newspaper. Ask SF Chronicle editor Phil Bronstein when he is going to meet with the members of If Americans Knew, as he declared he would at a public meeting 3 months ago – but has not yet done so. (415) 777 7100

9. Join in public demonstrations, whenever they are organized, such as by Women In Black, the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Jewish Voice for Peace.

10. Write letters of protest to the US government, since they are the ones who fund the Israeli atrocities in the first place. Without our tax dollars, the ethnic cleansing that is going on at the moment would stop. feinstein.senate.gov Diane Feinstein: San Francisco
One Post Street,
Suite 2450
San Francisco CA 94104
(415) 393-0707

11. Sign petition to Michael Moore to make a film on Palestine. see www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org

12. Support the Refuseniks. Email a Refusenik’s Mom to tell her what a great son she has. Express your admiration to them. They are ostracised by their own communities, and badly need our moral support. These kids are jailed for 2 years, when others of the same age are out partying and going to movies.

13. Take action against Caterpillar bulldozers. www.CATdestroysHomes.org.
Tell Caterpillar Dealers: Stop Sales To Israel

14. Finally, NEVER feel that there is nothing we small folk can do. As Fred Scholmka of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions once said, we can make a difference if ‘we all do our little bit to help’. Lots of little bits add up to a powerful total.

Thank you for your support. No matter how small, please pledge that you will spend a minimum of 10 minutes to do at least one thing to help the Palestinians this month.

Jane Jewell

Too bad for you the Constitution is still in effect. We're not living in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany where a class of people can be eliminated because you don't like them.
