The national furor over the proposed mosque at Ground Zero in New York has caused local Muslim leaders to delay their annual Ramadan celebration to avoid holding it on Sept. 11, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks in 2001.

"We wanted to be sensitive to the feelings over that horrible, evil act," said Hakim Ouansafi, president and chairman of the Hawaii Muslim Association.

He said the Eid al Fitr ("the breaking of the fast") festival -- celebrating the end of the month long Ramadan -- would normally fall on Sept. 11, but it will be pushed back to Sept. 24, which coincides with Islam Day in Hawaii. [snip] Last year, the state Legislature established Islam Day each Sept. 24 despite opposition

Why is this important ? Because throughout the pre-Primary campaign season , the voters were told , over & over , that " this was just a one time resolution" Now we can see that it is seen as a permanent and established , State sanctioned , day of recognition for Islam in Hawaii . What's more , EVERY Hawaii Republican State House member voted for it and many of them now want us to vote for them [ in some capacity or another] FYI : No Hawaii State Senators voted for the Bill , much to their credit , but here we have it ,and we can see this is how Islam gets itself on the map: through trusting , gullible , do-gooders , whom they enlist to become their unwitting 5th Column

Knowing where they are is the first step. Doing something about it is the next!

There doesn’t have to be another 9/11. The bleeding heart liberals have set out a welcome mat for the jihadis.

Give the sumbitches some time - they'll eventually try to get it moved to the 11th one of these days, otherwise they're missing the full effect of rubbing our noses in their little victory dance.

Great post. I had read it was only supposed to be for that one time, too.

Rick...I upload designs/pics to a site like photobucket, then you use the code that they supply you with...right under the uploaded pic...to cut and paste here. It’s real simple actually.

[rickb308]

Most welcome my friend!

I have a buddy who lives in Houston that owns a sign/graphics shop. I’ll forward it to him when I get home in about an hour and ask him how much. I think he might just be missing an untapped market.

TYpe a less than sign, an I, then a greater than sign. To close it, type a less than, a forward slash, and I, then a greater than sign.
