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.
"I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue -- same-sex civil unions.
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.
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.

Idiots. Why not just proclaim Sept. 11 as Islam Day.
Oh.. the bitter freakin’ irony!
Let’s see what Gov. Lingle does before crying out for a boycott of a beautiful, yet politically misguided, state. But I am biased, it is my home, so I’ll always go back despite its demons.
Boy now that is a short list.
“It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.”
Camel’s nose under the edge of the tent actually. Should never have been voted for period.
Jewish Day?
Mormon Day?
Wicca Day?
CHRISTIAN DAY?
This bill is racist!!
I was born and raised in the islands. Hawaii has been taken over by a bunch of Communists. My heart breaks.
ARTICLE I
Section 4. No law shall be enacted respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Ok, I'm in. What does this mean. No pineapple?
If it means I can't get leid, I'm out!
No Law, but this is a resolution. Has no binding effect and stops short of a law.
Is that why we can't get a birth certificate? Even the Republican Governor is in with the Communists?
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.

Make it a national day of islamic prayer, so the O can participate.
Super post!
Who the hell is pushing this crap?
How many silver dollars have gone through the hands of Saudi oil magnates to corrupt western politicians to effectuate this garbage?
Its time for patriotic Americans to stop being nice and polite and condescnding to these religious fanatics and intolerant killers, and the prostitutes among us who pander to them.
Ban Spam?! My kala’s on the mokes. Muslims have never met a Hawaiian being denied Spam.
I can't believe they are going to designate a day in September to celebrate the Islamofascists' "great victory" over "the great satan. The slimballs could have at least chosen one of the 11 other months. I guess we should have expected this from BO's home state.
The day doesn't matter. Are you old enough to remember the Black September terrorists? The whole month of September is a holy open season on infidels month.
