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,

On September 11, 2001, the "Religion of Peace", attacked our Holy sites: the Sacred City of Washington named for the Sainted George Washington the Great, and the New York City, home to the Holy Street of Wall, The Holy Trinity Church, Saint Patrick's, and other holy and sacred sites.

No it is not.

In my opinion though, it is time to deport every follower of the pervert that is in the U.S. to the Nation of their choice[preferrably France or England].

[Alouette]

Where the hell does this woman get this 8 million person figure?

Out of CAIR's butt.

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

Sure, the first two cause half the people who take off work wouldn't know if it wasn't on the generic calendar. I wouldn't have known tomorrow was Fat Tuesday if I hadn't gone to see what was on our printed calendars.

If I'm not mistaken one of the oldest Greek Orthodox Churchs in the nation, which survived.

[wardaddy]

btw...lest it need be said....I am against any incorporation of the Death Cult in my culture

anyone doesn't see where Islamisization leads defines a fool

send them home unless they are proven allies and would be sent back to death for helping us....but limit that

THEY MUST NEVER EVER GET A FOOTHOLD HERE.....THEY ARE LIKE BORGS OR INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS....VERY BAD NEWS FOR ANY CULTURE THEY INFECT

It's Time to Put Muslim Holidays in US Calendars

Funny, I thought the Muslims had a US calendar.

[wardaddy]

Muslim holidays, minarets etc are an ill bode

[twntaipan]

How about when Islamic countries let Christians and Jews simply live?

[VOA]

Let's make a deal with our Islamic neighbors.
They don't cram their holidays on my calendar.
Then maybe we MIGHT not draw a cartoon with Mohammed in it...all the time.

[SJackson]

Sorry, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, built in the 1830s, it didn't survive the attack, but is being rebuilt.

[Navy Patriot]

Hey Jane, where is Israel, I can't seem to find it on this Saudi map.

[SJackson]

They have their foothold here, through immigration and particularly conversion, both in prisons and among the malcontent. As well as attempting to export wahabbism to 80% of the existing Muslim population.

[BunnySlippers]

What yeaqr is it in Islam? In fact, which century?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Hey, I agree. It's a good idea.

We all need monthly reminders to go out and buy more ammo and high explosives.

What better reason than celebrating the impending Dhimmification of the United States?

Overwhelming firepower, it's not just for Christmas anymore!

[o_zarkman44]

Would Friday the 13th, 2036 be too soon for a muzzie holiday we can all celebrate?

We can shoot our guns into the air and burn flags just like the traditional celebrations we have seen in the past.

HELL NO. We ain't putting your stinkin holiday on my calendar in my house because I don't wanna know when it is unless they tell me on tv.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

There must be a mistake with the article. I noticed some ommissions -

National Beheading Day - may be many separate days during a year.

Taking off the Burka Day - December 1st -Done once per year for bathing behind locked doors.

Love your Goat! Day - Coincides with first day of spring.

National Week of Martyrs - Always first full week of every month.

Blow up your kids Memorial Day - First Thursday of June.

War against Shiites Day/War against Sunis Day - Always a surprise and can be any day throughout the year.

Family Rock Throwing Day - Ah, this is another daily day kind of thing, never mind...

Again, I'm sure this was not intentional.

best,
ampu

Why hasn't she changed her name to Muslimell?

[mlstier]

Personally, I am a bit shocked by the vitriol in these postings.

The special dates that a calendar manufactures chooses to place on their calendar is there choice, and the choice of Christian and Jewish holidays is probably more historic than anything else.

If someone wants to write calendar manufactures and request that they produce calendars with Muslim holidays on it, I have no problem with it. We are talking about capitalism. Produces making what consumers want.

However, those that do petition for the change have an equal responsibility to accept rejection. If the producer chooses not to include the requested dates, it is no reason to punish them. Simply use your power as a consumer, and purchase the calendar you want, from a manufacture willing to provide the product you want.
