#1 A journey of a thousand li starts with one step. I hope when we'll see a day when every State department employee has to take a regular polygraph test on their views on Islam.

#2 A department front man said a Ramadan event was still possible in future.

If I were in charge, we'd more likely have to worry about monkeys shooting bottle rockets flying out of my a$$.

But I'm not. So we're more likely to have to worry about what comes after Trump, and if that ultimately results in a large enough Muslim minority that it becomes a necessity.

#3 So can we hold an Easter celebration, maybe passover, hmm what's that monkey dance thing called?...

Point is, if one is allowed, then all must be allowed?

#4 Lets see if we can help you with that ignorance part of your meme. The Church of England during the British rule of the colonies was a mandatory worship requirement and enforced moral code. The Constitution eliminated the ability of a church to establish laws for the people, which by the way Sharia Law is exactly what the Constitution forbids. Theocracy by Imams (aka preachers).

During the first 200 years the vast majority of people were pious Christians that built this great nation out of the wilderness and were allowed to practice their faith freely outside the walls of government institutions (therefore Ramadan will NOT be officially hosted within the walls of the State Department). Since the original citizens of 200 years were Christian, the halls were vacant so federal holidays were established on days no one would be around.

When the Mohammedans conquer the ignorant not only will mandatory religion be in place, but if you do not adhere your head will be severed from your torso by explicit decree of the Imams.

#5 Exactly Cure.

No religious celebration/events/recognition in government organizations.

Keeps things smooth.

Now if we can just get rid of the diversity departments....

#6 The more I see and hear of T'Rex, the more I admire and respect the man. Of course I've always been partial to men (and wymn) who started at the bottom and worked their way up.
