#1 Does he have any idea how MANY holidays they have?

Last time I was in a Muslim country there was some kind of holiday or festival or somethingorother almost every week.

#2 Islamic population within the US has been estimated at 0.6%. This is simply another way the left who holds power in certain locations use their power to push against conservative America.

#5 They won't admit it, but this is likely for safety reasons. Don't want to give them a soft target on Bathe in the Blood of Infidels Day.

#6 Close the schools all the time. Home school your kids. Better education but probably won't save money, since the unions would require the teachers still be paid.

#7 More off time for unionized teachers. Supporter rewards. (I can't increase their pay substantially, but I can give them more time off since they're non-hourly employees)

#8 The claim is that Muslim students comprise 10% of the district population. And it's only two days, each one Eid al something, supposedly the most important days on the Muslim religious calendar.

#9 He is just another scumbag politician that sold his Country out for his political party.

#10 Other than Christmas (which these days isn't really a religious holiday ) which Christian holidays does the school system observe? And Thanksgiving isn't really a religious holiday either.

When I went to a Catholic school, we got off for all the Catholic holy days, but that was different.

#12 Rob Crawford,
Bathe in the Blood of Infidels Day

Every day is Bathe in the Blood of Infidels Day for Muslims.

#13 While treading the peaceable path,
Clean soles will avoid Allah's wrath.
Since infidels bleed it,
Although you don't need it,
Each Friday, please take a warm bath!

#14 Couple of archangels crossed paths at the gates of Heaven one day...

Jibril wasn't no kind of coward,
But with ear and first finger devoured,
His one eye was cryin':
"Izra'il, I is dyin'...
I just tried to hoodwink Moe Howard."
