CAIR-MD Demands Eid Holidays Become Official School Holidays In Public Schools

Even though Muslim students are excused and tests are not given on Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan) and Eid al Adha (Hajj), CAIR-MD is trying to make those two Islamic holy days official school holidays for Montgomery, Maryland public schools. And, no doubt, other chapters of the Council on Islamic-American Relations will push for it to happen nationwide. They don't think it's fair that Christians and Jews get Christmas, Easter, Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur off from school, even though this country is based on Judeo-Christian principles. Nope, they want theirs officially recognized as well.  

Zainab Chaudry, VP of CAIR-MD and chair of the Eid Equality Coalition claims this is not about a community demanding special privileges, but about "equal rights.".  So what about Buddhists and Hindus, and Baha'is and the myriad of other religious faiths, do they get their holidays off as well, in the name of equal rights?  This is all about special privileges.

I wonder if Christian and Jewish school kids get their holidays celebrated in Muslim-majority countries? Oh right, they're not even allowed to worship in many of those countries, if there are even any left there after being killed or forced to flee.

Muslim Jailbirds To Get Eid Treats In The UK

Over 400 Muslim criminals across England are getting Eid al-Fitr treats to celebrate the end of Ramadan, thanks to the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC). In their care-package they'll be getting:

 ..halal sweets, organic tooth chews, pocket-sized prayer books and Eid cards that prisoners can send to their loved ones.

What the heck are organic tooth chews?

Abid Choudhry decided last year that even jail inmates deserved something special to help them feel less "isolated from the community" and the "religious calender as it were,"  never mind they're in prison for a reason and not at some holiday camp. Maybe those 400 or so prisoners- of an estimated 11,000 plus inmates in British jails- aren't hard core murderers or rapists, but they still committed some kind of criminal act that landed them in jail, so how religious can they be?

They didn't cost much- $3.00 or so per package- and they're not funded by the British taxpayer, since they were paid through donations made to the IHRC, but still.  We need to stop pandering to religious jailbirds of all faiths.
