You have a good point. Some holidays are celebrated with violence. It might be good for everyone to have a warning.

Doesn't the Islamic calendar run backwards?

Soviet Union or Nazi Germany
Is that the best you can do, play the "Soviets and Nazis" card?

Marked on my calender as the best day to collectively bomb a country.

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.How about if we just change the Constitution to allow it. Is that OK? All it takes is majority vote, right?
What's the difference? Shari'a law or deportation? What's the problem?

Where the hell does this woman get this 8 million person figure? 1.1 million (0.5%) according to this data from 2001. That's less than half the number of Jewish and only slightly larger than Buddhist.

Yes muslims, please segue into the American way of celebrating holidays.
I just can't wait to get down to JC Penney's for the Eid al-Fitr sale! Or the all-you-can eat spare rib buffet at Chili's every night of Ramadan!

This "class of people" that you love would like nothing better than to cut your infidel throat. BTW, before they do cut your throat they're not going to ask you whether or not you love them. They're just going to do it and laugh about it. If thats OK for you and your family, I guess thats your business but its not OK for me and mine.
Can't you see what is going on around the world? I don't think the Constitution was meant to be a Suicide Pact.

According to their calendar, it's the year 1427. The rest of us are in the Year of Our Lord 2006. They've got a heap of catching up to do.

My steenkin' office desk calendar already has them (about 6 a month)I am working on March 2006 now. As soon as I find someone who can host the image for us, you are welcome to use it instead. You'll like it, I promise.

That certainly explains a lot!

No, this particular muslim wouldn't want ashura on a calendar of muslim holidays, ashura is a shia event, the sunni maintain the shia are lower than dogs and do not deserve to live.
Are we to have a sunni and a shia calender, perhaps?

OK, we Christians are a bit backward too compared to our elder brothers in faith.

Yom Kippur and Roshashannah and Passover and occasionally Purim show up on lots of generic calenders
