School system to get Muslim holiday (MA)
boston.com ^ | Oct. 10, 2010 | Brock Parker

Posted on 10/10/2010 1:15:03 PM PDT by PROCON

Cambridge to start observance in 2011-12 As a Muslim and a high school senior at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, 17-year-old Dunia Kassay faces a tough choice every year on Islamic holy days: go to school or stay home to be with family and friends.

BINGO! Chistians and Jews and not allowed to have "religious" holidays anymore, but "muslims" get one.

A simple check of the Cambridge school calendar show this to be false.

Found the school system's calendar. For Christian holidays (Christmas Eve, Good Friday, etc.), they mention them, but the actual time off is either "Winter Vacation" or "April Vacation".

No mention of Yom Kippur.

There is an insidious disease infecting leftists and the government institutions and other institutions they control. It is a death wish - a sick love of Islam. (Actually there are many other sicknesses they have but this is the topic of the thread!) The only reason I can think of for their sickly infatuation is that since Moslems are have a strong wish to destroy every other religion and indeed control the whole world, and so do leftists, they have an uncontrollable affinity for all things Moslem. Of course, they don't realize, that Moslems will behead them as soon as they gain control. It's a sickness.

Actually it's a long lived disease that has affected mankind since the beginning of time, it's called godlessness!

I wonder when they found the time to decide this?I would think this time of year their schedule would be full teaching students that Columbus was an “evil,white,genocidal,land-stealer”...

No mention of Yom Kippur.

Probably because Yom Kippur came out on a Saturday this year.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Nothing surprises me any more, sad to say, especially when it concerns islam.

Yup - still works.


I think that means there were enough threads already. I looked and there were 5 at last count.

Don Morris writes at Doc's Talk (thanks to Janet Levy): ...As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States -- Muslim 1.0%

Australia -- Muslim 1.5%

Canada -- Muslim 1.9%

China -- Muslim 1%-2%

Italy -- Muslim 1.5%

Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%

Germany -- Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom -- Muslim 2. 7%

Spain -- Muslim 4%

Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France -- Muslim 8%

Philippines -- Muslim 5%

Sweden -- Muslim 5%

Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam -- Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana -- Muslim 10%

India -- Muslim 13.4%

Israel -- Muslim 16%

Kenya -- Muslim 10%

Russia -- Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%

Chad -- Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania -- Muslim 70%

Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%

Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%

Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%

Egypt -- Muslim 90%

Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%

Iran -- Muslim 98%

Iraq -- Muslim 97%

Jordan -- Muslim 92%

Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan -- Muslim 97%

Palestine -- Muslim 99%

Syria -- Muslim 90%

Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%

Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%

Somalia -- Muslim 100%

Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

"Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj"...

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

Add to this the fact that the Islamic calendar is not synced to the solar calendar. It’s holidays migrate through the year.

If she stays home, Kassay says, she will be forced to play catch-up and make up her school assignments. But if she goes to school, she will be neglecting what she feels is her religious obligation on holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

Oh WAAAH!!!

I grew up knowing full well that when I went to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, that I'd have to make up the work I missed.

Why? Because I didn't live in an area with a large Jewish population. I didn't expect the day off, either.

And you know what? My teachers didn't have a problem with it. If there was a test, I simply had to either test the day prior, or the day after.

Now, I'd kinda expect that in areas with a large Jewish population, the local school district would be accomodating, like in New York, Washington, or Miami. And by the same token, I'd kinda expect that in places with a large Islamic population, such as Dearborn, Michigan... you'd find school holidays for Islamic events.

But to expect it when there isn't any sort of population to justify it is complete bulls@#t.
