Because, after all, we certainly can’t be perceived to offend the persons who, in the name of Islam, killed 3,000 Americans and turned them into burning jelly by running aircraft into two large buildings on September 11th of 2001 — can we?

Suburban DC school district takes Christmas off calender after Muslims complain
by Kyle Olson
ROCKVILLE, Md. – Christmas is now just December 25th in the Montgomery County school district.
The suburban DC district stripped Christmas and Jewish holy holidays from its official calendar after Muslim parents complained.
But that’s not good enough as they say the move does “nothing to gain parity and a day off for the Muslim holiday of Eid,” according to WTOP.
“Equality is really what we’re looking for,” Saqib Ali, co-chair of Equality for Eid, says. “Simply saying we’re not going to call this Christmas, and we’re not going to call this Yom Kippur, and still closing the schools, that’s not equality.”
Equality is what they — Muslims — are looking for. Just a little equality. What’s wrong with that? Take it away, GOWPs:
But school board member Michael Durso says unless the Muslim’s complaints aren’t addressed, “it comes off as insensitive, and I just think we cannot afford to be in that light.”
Except: removing Christmas isn’t enough. The Muslims want more. They want Eid recognized. And Christmas removed.
The Washington Post reports the board 7-1 to stop recognizing the Christian and Jewish holidays.
“This seems the most equitable option,” said board member Rebecca Smondrowski, who proposed the idea, according to the paper.
Coming soon to a school district near you.
Buh-bye Christmas. I knew ya when. . .

this makes me furious but it’s important to note the muslims are angry now, too, because the school board “makes us look like the Grinch who stole Christmas…we didn’t want to take Christmas off, just let the Muslim holiday be respected.”
Which is HOOEY…, of course, but I at least think SOME of them mean what they said there.
I say we’re on a VERY VERY steep slope with the One True God while we honor islam and kick the Judeo Christian God in His teeth. Thank GOD he knows what’s happening and is sovereign
The decision by the school board is just the opposite of what it should have been. They should have told the Muslim parents to cram it.
In today’s America, absent a suicide fanatic exploding inside a mall in the name of Allah, that’s the way it’s going to be.

Time to arrange one way tickets to the sand box for all muslims in this country. They are after all our enemy.
They may be the Grinch who stole Christmas in this case, but it didn’t start with them. Christmas (and all aspects of Christianity) has been under attack for a long time. It is bad enough to read that for the first time muslim prayer services are to be held in the National Cathedral. A ‘religion’, no, a cult which even now is brutally murdering and torturing Christians and ‘non believers’ is allowed, nay, encouraged, to bring its intolerant moon god beliefs into what many feel is the spiritual home of the country.
It is past time for the millions who love Christmas and what it represents to stop being doormats. At some point someone has to say ‘NO’. But I honestly do not see that as happening. In the name of equality our country will wind up being taken over by the most unequal intolerant ‘religion’ on earth.
Un-F’n believable. Don’t know if I can handle much more of this shitte. Sickening that the board even considers it. Never mind the fact that it was brought up
I don’t know about you all, but, I’m sick and tired of Muslims making demands in our nation concerning Christianity. If Chtistians where living in a dominate Islamic nation do you think they would have the same liberty to make complaints…NO they would not!
I have nothing against Muslims, but enough is enough.
Stop trying to change America and make it Islamic, it’s the reason that many of you left your country. Leave our country alone or get out!
