HONOLULU – Hawaii's state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate "Islam Day" — over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn't want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.
The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks.

Behead people? Blow up schools and vegetable stands? Run planes into buildings? Emplace IEDs?
Did we have a “Nazi Day” in the 1940’s??
Hawaii was high on my list of where I once could have retired before Obama popped up. :-)
If you want to see them back off of this in a hurry, tell them they have to give up Spam.
Dhimmi alert
Whatever it is you can bet it’s a sausage fest.
Well hell’s bells! Why not just go ahead and make it on Sept. 11th you idiots!
What is wrong with democrats? They are insane. Liberalism is a disease and a religion.
What will be left by Jan.20, 2013?
God help us.
Funny...the dems vote for an Islam day in one state and for gay “marriage” in others.I’m seeing a clash in the very near future.
It's definitely time for the U.S. to dump Hawaii. That joint has gone back to the Stone Age anyway.
Isn’t the Governor Jewish?
This is surreal.
What happened to Separation of Church and State? Guess it doesn’t apply to Mosque and State?
Pu-leeese don’t blow us up ....
2 republicans in the state of hawaii’s senate? pathetic.
“The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House.
The bill seeks to recognize “the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions” that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.”
Yes, that culture created our numerals and the ZERO. Zero has become the likelihood of our doing an Autumn visit.
That is fine with Me; I had been lobbying for an Autumn trip to the Ozarks, and not winning.
Now, I get to book a Cabin that will fit Us, our grown and married kids & the household pooch from each household.
I don’t have to do a dog less vacation!
That’s it. The world has officially gone completely crazy.
Meanwhile,on the mainland,the war against Christmas trees,mangers,and the Easter bunny continues.
You nailed it. If 911 had never occurred, this vote would have never occurred. Essentially, they are rewarding the people who attacked us. If that is not the definition of insanity, I don't know what is.

How many mohammedans even LIVE in Hawaii??
On the other hand, major stopover for transpacific flights, BIG jets, baggage handlers, etc. etc.-wouldn’t want to tick anyone off now, would we? just another craven cave-in by political scumbags.
I’m gonna grill up some baby back pork ribs with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce, maybe some ‘tater salad, and some ice cold Bud Ice.
