He didn't include Ashura? That's just racist.

RE: He didn’t include Ashura?

I think that’s a peculiarly Shia religious Holiday where they commemorate the martyrdom at Karbala of Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (the Shiites claim he is the TRUE successor of Muhamamd ).

Most New York City Muslims are Sunni.
