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.

This is great!! We can celebrate it just like the English celebrate Guy Fawkes Day!!

Burn effigies of the false Prophet. Throw Korans down the toilet. Lead parades to remember all the millions of people murdered by Muslims, including 9/11.

Make people remember yearly just how evil the Religion of Peace is.

Excellent, just excellent!!

Did we have a “Nazi Day” in the 1940’s? ......................... None that I can recall, but the MSM seems to be stuck on April 20th as a special day every year since Columbine.

That's the logical choice for a Nazi Day -- Hitler's birthday!

To add to the insanity, there are actually TWO bills for TWO different days, according to that link you provided. (Search for “Islam Day”) I forgot to check on the status of HR 100 which calls for November 29, 2009 to be proclaimed Islam Day. What’s also interesting is that HR 100 adds to its list of reasons for the proclamation the claim that the US Congress in 1979 “officially recognized the noble qualities of Islam. . .honoring the religion’s 14th centennial”.

Both both bills claim their dates as the founding of Islam.
