#2 "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions"

Ima thinkin' that's gonna be one short day. Now if you had Fatwas and Corpses Day, you could party on that all week.

#5 Ok, there must be something objectionable in the content. Here it is in three parts, let's see which one won't post.

How about Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, and Cthulhu cult days?

#7 I've got it, the software excludes anything that might link to dirty pictures.

Parts 1 and 3 would not post. Part 1 included the word ***nograp*ers:

"Haven't the rest of these dolts heard of the First Amendment? Or do they think that it is only for the benefit of por***r*phers and liberal journalists?"

Part 3 was

"Fact is, the average legislator would cheerfully endorse cannibalism, in**st, or human sacrifice if they thought it might be helpful in advancing their careers."

#8 The bill seeks to recognize "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made.

SPFFfffff!

Somebody hand me a paper towel, please.

#9 recognize "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made.

So what will you do with the other 23 hours and 59 minutes?

Most of their 'contributions' have either been stolen from conquered cultures or developed by non-muslim Dhimmi.

#10 What prompted this resolution?

Why a special day for Islam?

Is there a day for Buddhism? Or Shinto?

#13 "We are a state of tolerance.

Which has now endorsed a faith of total intolerance. My congratulations.

#15 Next time you visit Hawaii Rabid, get off the beaten path, get away from Hilo Hatties and the tourist areas. It won't take you long to find out. A word of caution. Don't stay long enough that you'll need to enroll your children in the public school systems.

#16 Seems to me it'd be kinda tough to dance the hula in a burqa.

#18 All those girls in bikinis on the beach at Waikiki would be considered unIslamic, you know. (And yet, they are truly wonderful to behold.) So would okolehao. And how about Tiny Bubbles or Lovely Hula Hands? You could sit around all day long thinking about the various aspects of Hawaiian culture that would be banned under penalty of death if Muslims had their way. But, hey, it's just donk politicians doing what donk politicians do...living in a fantasy world and attempting to impose their frivolous little whims on real people who are trying to live in the real world. Kinda pisses me off.

#19 Mo-man don't surf.

#26 Grass burqas are unIslamic because you might get a peek of something...well...something unIslamic if there happened to be a parting in the blades of grass. You could go to hell for that so they'd have to cut your head off.

#30 How a about a "State Shintou Day" each December 7th?

Japan turned from a medieval backwater country into a world class industrialized, military power within 5 decades, while under the rule of State Shintou. That's what I would call a "rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contribution" to the the world.

A few decades later, on December 7th 1941 the Japanese demonstrated their contributions right within what is now the State of Hawaii...

#31 It's simple, Islam Day is in honor of Hawaii's own: Barack Hussein Obama II
