caving to Muslims yet again

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/after-m...KnV?ocid=SMSDHP

I'm sorry but I cannot agree to this drastic move made by this Maryland school district. I will list my reasons

1) It's completely unfounded and only on the basis of the ever present 'political correctness' machine

2) People are too sensitive. Why do Yom Kippur and Christmas have to marginalize someone because not every one celebrates it?

3) My biggest concern of all is the way we constantly cave into minorities who claim they aren't getting a fair shake. Europe's worse, but even so, we must remember our roots. This country, while having no official national religion was built on principles of the Enlightenment and the Judeo-Christian ethic. Muslims never had nor will they ever be a part of that ethic. They are welcome to immigrate and create their fortunes just like the rest of us and become Americans. However, we have our traditions and we have our culture. The majority of people in this country are either Christian or some form of it and the vast majority celebrate the holiday in either a religious or commercialized way.

The kids getting time off are not on 'winter break'. It's Christmas break whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Muslims, who make not even a fraction of the American population do not deserve the privilege of time off for their holidays because Islam is not widespread here nor is it ingrained like Christianity has. Who the hell knows about any Muslim holiday?

I'm not particularly religious, but I know bullshit when I see it. And this is utter nonsense in the name of placating a minority all because of the names 'Passover' 'Christmas' and 'Easter. Diversity my ass.

You're thoughts?

They probably want us to celebrate 9/11

What about the Chinese New Year why not celebrate that day? An excuse to shoot off fire works is my motto.

Got to tell you though when I see people on Christmas I don't say Merry Christmas I say have a good holiday if I am not sure they are catholic.

Muslems pray 7 times a day do they let them do that in school?

During Ramadan they are suppose to fast. Fasting can be dangerous do teaches watch them for exhaustion during gym class or at sporting events?

Did you hear about this in the news? Radical Islam is incouaging good muslems to run over Jews in their cars in Israel?

Yeah, that'd be the day if they did that to my kids. I'd leave that district in a heartbeat.

I'm so tired of being politically correct. This country was BUILT on Judeo-Christian values, and yes, Judeo-Christian worship. Now these people can't get a holiday to chant to Elijah Barack Abu, or whatever their pseudo-deity's name is, so everyone has to suffer for it.

Islam is a religion steeped in hatred, and I'm tired of holding my tongue about it. If they don't like it here, they should just leave. They hate us anyway. Because to a Middle Eastern born Muslim, all Americans are Jews. And that's fine by me, by the way. I'll stay here and die next to the Jews before I bow down to those animals and their terrorist ways.

You know, when I was a little kid back in the '60s, and the Vietnam war was raging full force, a lot of the hippies were enraged by the older generation for having an "America: Love It or Leave It" attitude. And for most of my life I shared that anger. Today I'm starting to realize that those old timers were probably right. They really were The Greatest Generation.

rockstar45. im outraged by the story, as I am about not saying " merry Christmas" so you wont' offend anyone. whos' country is this? we are not a moslem nation. we are a Christian nation why do we constantly let these people In our country? when are people going to get aroused over these injustices to our American culture, and christan religion?

Many of the Founding Fathers were deists or some form of Christianity. Though not all were profoundly religious, most if not all always spoke of 'divine providence' including Washington, Jefferson, and John Adams. They combined liberty, reason, free thinking, and freedom with certain religious proponents to create the nation we have today.

We abide by the principles in the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. And though we have no official religion as I stated before, we do have culture and we do have tradition.

Christmas and Easter are part of that tradition. So are certain Jewish holidays. Whatever this stupid holiday Muslims want is not. They don't like it, as PB said they can take it back to the Middle East.

Islam, whatever people think it is, is an unstable religion. There is a growing amount of radicals in their communities and homes. There are millions of people of that so called faith that want us dead. No matter how much they're in the minority, it's still large, aggressive and blood thirsty.

As long as I live and when/if I have kids, they will not be exposed to any such inkling of Islamic culture. I don't think any society should be based purely off religion, but if I had to choose one, you bet your ass I'll take Judaism or Christianity.

Our ways should not be compromised to people who have no understanding of it

I have a real problem with Islam because of 9/11. Now I know most of them are not like that, but I lost a person I knew, (not a close friend, but I felt the loss) so it hurt. So I don't want Muslims calling the shots. That being said, I don't want any other religion controlling the government, either. Not even my own. I can't trust them anymore, because of the way they covered for predators. And they want to ban birth control, do you want them telling you how many kids you must have? So I do want the church and state to be separate.

PB, what you say is absolutely spot on.

I get lucky once in a while, Yogi Bear .

Hey Yogi I noticed it says your from the UK. Isn't there a problem with Muslims in Britain too?

Yes they are everywhere..

What's their percentage of the population as a whole compared to native Brits?

There used to be a Norweign hall in Bay Ridge here in Brooklyn. Now it is a masque. I go to a movies sometimes in Bay Ridge it was is called the Alpine. It still called that and it still is a movie. But their is a Mosque next to it. The neighbor hood is all Muslem now.

Hey I get it neighboor hoods change. A lot of 18 ave is mostly Chinese now. But as far as I know the Chinese are not trying to change anyone here.

I know some of you think I am a crazy person. Yes, I can revert to it under the right circumstances.

But I like to mind my own business. Unless someone tries to stick their noses in my business. If they don't I say live and let live.

What is it with that school if a student says Merry Christmas to someone. What will the school do suspend the student? No more free speech?

I'm one of the people guilty of calling you crazy. That's probably because I'm a little nuts myself. But for what it's worth, I agree with EVERY single word you just posted.

I will always say "merry Christmas" I will say even if they lock me up. for Christians not to say it, is caving in to the evil muslim world.

They come in through the Strait if Sicily. And once they get to the Italian mainland, that's all she wrote. They're all over the continent in no time.

Correct me if I'm wrong pizzaman, but don't most Italians hate Arabs and Muslims? Are there not enough resources to defend against illegal immigration?

Italians love everyone. Except for WASPs. They're a pain in the ass .

But seriously, there are just too many of them. They're pulling bodies out of the Sicilian Strait in record number. Both alive and dead. But they're still getting through. And quite a few of them come through Malta, too. I mean, how many boats do you think the Maltese government owns?

Yeah those white anglo saxon protestants, what's with those fuckin people?

But I hear ya. A lot of them come from Libya from what I hear, ever since Gaddafi got his head chopped off the country has been in utter chaos. So much for the Arab Spring...

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH. We are a Judeo-Christian culture that tolerates other religions. Not too many countries are that welcoming. We want to live in peace. Is that such a hard concept to embrace?

I'm mentioning you to Saint Theresa tonight, MC. Be on the lookout for roses tomorrow .

this country was built after back stabbing our motherland

you never hear about muslim pastors fucking children, maybe they ain't evil

you're speaking hate but talking about religion.......SMH

Please get an education before you open your mouth on subjects like this. It doesn't pay to look like a fool.

We were not represented in Parliament, we had no say in our own taxation, our rights were being violated. The Founding Fathers were fearful that the slippery slope of no taxation without representation could lead the British to treating them in a manner similar to Scotland or Ireland. We did not care for the aristocracy, the king, or many parts of English society that they deemed immoral or impractical. Our Revolution enabled us to become the greatest power the world has ever seen.

Muhammad slept with girls younger than 14. People in Muslim countries constantly abuse women and force them to cover up and attack non Muslims. That sound okay to you?

Do not let a beef get in the way of seeing things with a reasonable mind. But then I get the feeling you won't listen to this either. You're line of thinking is completely Neanderthal

"Our" motherland? Please. The only thing you know about your bloodline is that some junkie didn't have enough money for a condom the night he knocked up your toothless mother.

That's uncalled for guys. Let's all just Chill...

I don't get it????

You know, I didn't plan on posting here ever again because frankly, I don't that have that much to contribute to this site. I do still browse here, some of the online discussions are definitely worthwhile.

This subject does strike me in a big way though.

I honestly believe in a 100 years from now people will conclude that Europe's biggest mistake since Hitler was allowing mass Muslim immigration. In my country, the Netherlands, we have big problems with criminal arab youth and a ever growing muslim population that despises christian/jewish culture, harasses our women in the streets for not wearing a fucking burqa, and keeps on building mosques everywhere while complaining about and even demolishing churches.

The worst thing about it is that our politicians are weak, spineless assholes who keep avoiding the growing problems.

As we speak, mass immigration keeps going on every day from Africa and the Middle East to our shores and we are slowly becoming a minority on our own continent.

I love my country and I'm a proud Dutch but when I look at the future of this continent, I would love to take my family and immigrate to the U.S. simply because Europe thinks that having no military to speak of (save for England) and allowing millions and millions of arabs that essentially hate our culture to settle here is the way to go.

That's why I'm surprised by this news article and would just like to say to beware of allowing it to go far. Because Holland and Europe already have.

Here we have national talkshows that ban alcohol for everybody at the table when a muslim guest visits, just because he might get offended . In our parliament the chairman actually has a Koran on her table because her party wants to appease the muslim population. It's fucking sad.

Good post, Chopper. You're a smart kid. And unlike me you can post about a volatile topic without losing your temper .

Thanks PB. And believe me, it's hard for me not to lose my temper on this subject .

the constant appeasing of minorities never works it only empowers them, I remember the 60s the voting rights act, the homes available to blacks through fha, a government program.

the blacks in the 60s burned down neighborhoods from the east coast to the west coast, I was young then I saw it all. the caving in to the muslims, along with obamas executive order to
allow millions of illegals to have citizenship.

is liable to change this country forever, obamas act is not the democratic process. no popular vote. no congressional vote.
I consider this executive order. un-American.

I think Obama policy's has already changed the country forever.
I think the fed is part of this.

Does anyone know exactly what the fed is doing.

There are a lot of smart guys on this site a lot smarter then I am.

What are we doing with the money we are printing with nothing to back it up.

Is the value of the Euro going up or down?

Is the Euro going to collapse? If so why hasn't it collapsed already?

Is the Fed propping up the euro by buying Euro's with US dollars?

To keep the Euro from collapsing in the short term. Will the euro collapse later?

With that collapse what will happen to the US and the dollar.

Should we be afraid? Well I am afraid, but I am a paranoid.

Is any of this true or am I just being paranoid?

the u.s. currency is still the strongest in the world. but. what the fed really does no one knows. it's never been audited.
everytime there is a hint of congress auditing the federal reserve, it never happens. what they really do, they keep from the people. only my opinion.

Another American gets his head cut off by those jerk offs in Syria.

Obama said that was not nice for what the tenth time?

We have a real leader.

don't disturb him or his old lady foots. their on vacation and the pres is playing golf.

Indeed there is with a certain portion of them. Sign of the times I'm afraid.....

Are they a threat to the native British people and its culture? Can you imagine what guys like Churchill and William Pitt would say if they saw the sort of radical Muslim low lives that plague England today?

They would probably turn in their graves, but that is true of a lot of older generation folks over here. Until the first immigrants started to come in from the West Indies and India after WWII we were a solidly "white" country. A recent poll said that by 2050 whites will be in the minority. Has to be said that not all migrants are evil of course. One of my best pals at work is a Kenyan lad who has lived here for 25 years and he hates muslims more than any white person I know. The main problem most people have here is that we are just too small a country to keep filling it up with people who come here just for benefits and free housing that adds onto our tax bills and increases our retirement age. Our system is abused by these folks and it creates an awful lot of tension. But for every freeloader there are a dozen more who legititmately want to work and have a better life. Where do you draw the line??

Sounds a lot like America. Why'd we split from England again?

Beats me

Yogi you seem like a decent guy and it's good you can recognize a hard worker regardless of race, but doesn't it make you a bit uncomfortable that by 2050 the native British people will be outnumbered by people who have no understanding of the British way? America has always been a melting pot, and Hispanics are already assimilating quite well, but Europe is naturally homogenous. I can't grasp more people in England praying at Mosques and observing fuckin Ramadan rather than drinking tea and supporting their favorite football teams. It's just unthinkable to me.

Of course I don't like the idea but the UK is a very politically correct place. Even if our country is going down the toilet it would be "terribly impolite" to actually mention it or blame anybody. The only consolation seems to be that just about every other country is on its way down the crapper as well....

Misery loves company, Yogi. And this is the very motto of our current President. He never intended to spread the wealth, his sole intention was to spread the poverty. He's catering to a demographic that would rather spitefully witness everyone go broke, than go out and get a job so they can catch up themselves. That's not politically correct, but tell me I'm wrong.

It all seemed so different 6 years ago when Obama swept into office. Now he seems to be heading for the most hated President of all time. That has to take some doing surely??

And he made it look so easy .

France and Germany have an even bigger problem with Muslims not assimilating in their respective countries. Sweden has a huge rape problem from Somali immigrants and the Netherlands aren't any better. 50 years from now I wonder where we will be. Because at the moment, the West is slipping further and further into decadence and decay



Often the truth is not politically correct but the difference from then and now is that people weren't afraid to speak out in the name of a fuckin bullshit kumbaya wet dream that will never happen. I can't stand Obama and I very quickly became disillusioned with him after he took office. I'm not sure there's one good thing I can say about him.

I can only hope our next President brings the country together not pull it apart even more than it is

do u know how much money is made from immigrants?

they would close the boarders and fire at will if immigrants were draining america

who else can they pay 3 dollars an hour and pocket 7?

This is rich: A professional welfare scam artist trying to explain economics to a guy who retired at 45 .

And for the record, my grandparents were immigrants. Were yours, or did they come here on the cotton picking exchange program?

The "old" immigrants came here legally, worked hard and assimilated. The "new" immigrants want no part of that. They want everything yesterday. The immigration system today is in ruins because they frown upon European immigrants and cater to Middle Easterners and Islanders who hate us anyway.

Immigration should be ceased until it can be put back under control. And then it should only be open to people who are willing to embrace the American way when they get here, not vice versa.

Kumbaya, Cook. Kumbaya. You nitwit .

PB, you hit the nail on the head again. We are letting in droves of people who hate us and our way of life. This makes no sense at all. There is a big furore over here about the number of "Brits" who have gone to Syria and Iraq to fight with the IS. The government are hoping to bring in plans to stop them coming back to the UK....but the do gooders are screaming that this would be against their human rights so it cant be done!!

Thanks, Yogi. It's happening here, too. And I can assure you that the American men who are converting to Islam are not doing it for religious reasons. They're doing to be anti-government.

These are the same low income, no education scumbags who are looting in Missouri right now. It's just different window dressing to make it look like something else. But I guess it beats getting a job, right?

Work for a living??? What a ridiculous notion.....

I am a glass half full type of chap mostly....but the ways of this modern day world don't half get my goat sometimes...well most times to be honest

Derka Derka Derka!!!

What were you doing that you were able to retire at 45? I wouldn't mind retiring in 15 years.

I live in Belgium, which is home to a substantial Moroccan community. I for one don't get caught up in the European immigration panic hype a lot of other people seem to get. I mean, it's clear that immigrants have become very visible in most of the major cities (that is if you can describe any city in Belgium as "major" lol). But demographics show that the indigenous population still has a large overall majority. And that's not only the case with Belgium. While I have read about some of the -in my opinion absurd- doom predicting scenarios, different studies on the other hand have shown that while the amount of people from a non-European background will of course grow a bit, the indigenous population will still be in the vast majority. It really is nothing THAT alarming and far from as terrifying as some (including some wild articles) make it out to be.

Now I want to make clear that I'm not an immigration lover. You know, it's a shame because there's quite an amount of people over here from an immigrant background (including ones from a Muslim one) that I really do get along with. But a certain portion of them is causing trouble. And while the troublemakers are a minority, it's a minority that has become big enough to be a serious nuissance. And that is something that could've been avoided with better immigration policies or (even better) without any immigration at all.

Just my two cents.

^Well said sir.

I've come up with a way to unite the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.

Pls Send over a million Muslims.

This is hilariously untrue, the British pound has consistently had double the worth of the American dollar for almost five years. Even the Euro is a stronger currency than the American dollar and that's been going on for almost two years.

Teamsters Union for 25 years. Ten as a shop steward and seven as a business agent. I got out as soon as I got my 25 years in (and truth be told I was actually 47 at the time, not 45). Today I manage four apartment buildings here in New York City that I co-own with some family.

And I didn't mean to hijack this thread. But everyone knows that Cook and I bring out the worst in each other .
