Muslim leaders in the US fear people will think they are celebrating 9/11 after it emerged a major festival has the potential to fall on September 11 this year.
According to the lunar calendar that Muslims follow for religious holidays, Eid al-Adha looks set to fall around the 15th anniversary of the 2001 Al Qaeda atrocity which claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.
And as they prepare to mark the 'feast of sacrifice' there are concerns among the Muslim community that people will misinterpret the festivities as a celebration of the attacks, which saw terrorists flying hijacked jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Then you Muslims should do the commonsense, and right thing, which is to change the date of your celebration, or else you will be celebrating 9/11.

What makes them think this is what will “push us over the edge”?
They kill us on a weekly basis and we do nothing.

Holiday stolen from the Jewish scriptures; supposedly honoring Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac. On top that hundreds of millions of animals are ritually slaughtered. The Arabs use a pure lunar calendar not adjusted for the solar year so these Muslims holidays are all over the place during the solar year. Not a great calendar to rely on if you have to plant crops and the like.

Muslim leaders in the US fear people will think they are celebrating 9/11 ...Won't they be?
To: PROCON
Can someone actually do the research. It is supposed to begin in the evening of 9/12 and culminate on 9/13. Close, but not actually on 9/11.

We should move 9/11 out of respect. It wasn’t like any religion had anything to do with these attacks. These guys just needed jobs or it was some kind of workplace violence or something. Where’s the picture of Marie Harf scratching her head when I need it?

After every moslem atrocity they “fear a backlash”. Now they “fear a backlash” before anything has even happened. These people need to come out of their deranged cult.

There won’t be a backlash — there will be an act of muslim terrorism on that day.

The New York Times points out that some Muslims in the US are afraid of the festival falling on September 11 amid fears over hate crimes.What gall and audacity!

I’m with you. An American retaliation is in order. But Obama won’t do it.

Well, when you live in a hellish desert, you don’t really need to worry about stuff like that.

Islam has been at wat with the rest of humanity since 622 A.D.
9/11 was a small atrocity in the grand scheme of Islam.
