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.

...

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House and now goes to Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.

There are days I feel like that we woke up to a world run by the nuts let out by the insane asylum. I wish I could just say, “Scotty, beam me up.”

So the official celebrations includes rape, pillage, beheading, or all of the above?

The only solace in all this insanity is that the liberals will be the first to be decapitated.

WHAT exactly is Islam Day? It doesn’t make any sense in terms of a celebratory day.

It’s like making Festivus a real day. On second thought, I’ll take Festivus over Islam Day. Now get out the pole, I find tinsel distracting.

And America continues its march to ruination. This country is slowly committing suicide from within. All great nations and empires have crumbled. Now, it is America's time. America has turned its back on God, on its founding under God, and on the principals which made this country great. They have abandoned them. The MTV, Vietnam anti-war crowd, homosexuals, liberals, communists, socialists, athethis, are getting their way. Decent America is small. But, by cracky, I will continue the good fight!!!

Obama and the green flag of Islam

I don't know the Messiah looks pretty comfortable with that big crescent of Islam on his shoulder.

From today's media event with Karzai and Zardari.

Oh goody! We can all commemorate the brutal slaughters of our ancestors at the hands of the cultist Muslims.

Scratch Hawaii off on my list of vacation spots.

For that matter - scratch this stupid country’s leaders in their descent into secular perversity.

Why not go for it all?

9/11 becomes an annual Islamic Celebration Day in Hawaii

Since the Hawaii state flag displays The Union Jack they must want to be like the UK as well.

Aloha Luv!

Let's go over a few things about the part time Hawaii congress. The only legislation they write is for increasing revenues or nonsense stuff like this. The current governor (R) will veto most of the bills, which will return for an override. Then the session is over and they all go home.

In the next session, a bill will be tabled declaring 'Work' a four letter word. It'll pass by the same majority.
