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.

This is EXTREMELY OLD NEWS

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009

Out here , we patriots have fought against this tooth and nail ever since . Give us some credit . We have basically shut it down and challenged every aspect of how any Repub could have voted for it in the first place . ALL HI State House R Reps voted yes , and ALL ( 2) HI State Senate Sens voted no . We really lit a fire under the asses of all those Repub Reps and have kept it burning and on the front burner ever since . We exposed all the Urdu language only YouTube clips that were put out to promote the effort . NOT ONE new media type would help us get the Urdu translated and I contacted them ALL ( so much for the much vaunted ‘new media’ heroes ) So yea, this happened , and we kicked it’s ass . next time they try this sh!t we will again kick their asses with another counter assault . Never think that there are no patriots in Hawaii , there are , and we have sharp teeth!

How does Hawaii have all these Leftists? The Leftists I know are all angry and bitter creeps. What do the people of Hawaii have to be angry and bitter about? I thought Hawaiians were all easy-going, good-natured, happy people.

well , it was a natural Lib flow to the West Coast from the East Coast and they didn’t stop . We think of them as ‘flotsum’ . The nice weather , the fruit , the pot , all had it’s pull . Once landed they formed enclaves and that got added to by the families they have produced . Like attracts like . Know that there are A LOT of good folks too . Lots of retired and retired military , lots of proud ,patriotic locals . Things changed as the far Leftwing socialist/commies hijacked the old style Democrat Party , which had become very successfully in control over here by virtue of the Americans of Japanese ancestry who were returning WW2 vets , entering politics and the labor movement. Having prior to WW2 being under the heel of a very patrician class of mostly white Repub landed and wealthy . So the haole Leftists found an in place Dem machine ready made and waiting for them to move right in to and co-opt and that old machine here still doesn’t fully realize that it has been hijacked and subverted . Old dogs don’t see nothing new

It already passed in 2009. This is a May 6, 2009 story.

But observe how it saved Hawaii from 3 years of Terror!

I wonder how many Petrodollars were used to buy these whores?

This is DISGUSTING. If ANYTHING, we need an Islam Education Day to recognize the horror of this filthy cult. Americans should boycott Hawaii and refuse to visit there or buy any of their products.

Well what they did was wrong and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Period..

Maybe you would quote the part or parts of the Constitution that you feel they violated? (I'm not talking about what some fifth grade teacher told you; I'm talking about the Constitution itself and/or its ratified Amendments.)

"What happened to the dems yelling separation of church and state?"

In Islam there is no separation of mosque and state.
