Muslim cleric Mohd Qayyoom

Muslim cleric Mohd Qayyoom of the Jackson Heights area of Queens, NY is calling for the birth date of Islam's founder to be declared a National Holiday.

The Times-Ledger of Queens, NY has quoted the leader of the Muhammadi Community Center as stating:

"We’ll give the message of peace, we’ll give the message of interfaith harmony."

Qayyom went on to say:

"We want one day, an annual holiday like Christmas."

The imam has spoken out against terrorism and radicalism, much to the disconcertion of many of his fellow Muslims.

Ping!

I'm always good for another holiday.
Good day to barbecue some pork ribs over an open fire of burning korans...

Just joking, although I'm always good with barbecuing some pork ribs over an open fire of burning korans -- you never grant holidays or days of recognition to murderous, satanically inspired, pedophiles. Particularly one whose teachings have led to such misery in many parts of the world.

“Allah-Akbar!!!”

[BibChr]

Yeah, because of the prominent role Mohammed has played in... er... getting innocent American citizens murdered.

If this suggestion were a Tweet, the hashtags would be #ToneDeaf and #Clueless.

[SnakeDoctor]

Heh. I’d take the day off work ... but, it’d be “Infidel Day” in my house.

I’ll go to a Bible study, eat bacon all day, and watch a 24 marathon. I’ll have to buy a Club Gitmo shirt, though. Nothing says “Merry Infidel Day” like a little waterboarding.

OK, what day is it?

[pgkdan]

I would advocate armed rebellion against any government in this country that would attempt to make such a move!

[Cyber Liberty]

I actually agree with this . We could enjoy a day to burn Korans and pee on cartoons of Mo. I pick 9/11.

[silverleaf]

hell yeah, make it another 3 day weekend so we can go to the beaches and wear bikinis and cook sausage on the grill and charge a bunch of stuff made in China on our VISA cards

Imagine the decorations - green lights, dates, camels, palm trees, swords

Uh Oh, that dude over there just bought a made-in-China card with Muhammed’s picture ... they KEEL HEEM

[pgkdan]

OK, what day is it?

February 31.

Not THIS Nation!

We Christians will not sit by and watch Easter vacation become “Spring Break” and Christmas become “holiday break”, and then have the 2 percent that really hate this culture, handed their own “national holiday”!!

[G Larry]

You already CELEBRATE 9/11!!!!

What ELSE do you want!??!?!?!

[reg45]

The unions should be all for this: They would celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday if it meant a day off with pay.

[fish hawk]

I agree, but only in Islamic countries, (like England, France, Sweden, Iran, Iraq, you know, Muslim countries)

[manc]

really , so they have no idea what he looked like, all they know is that he married and had sex with a little girl, sex with her at age 9 and married her at age 6.
He lived in a cave, was a caravan leader and went on a winged horse to heaven and flew back on one after speaking with God.

His birthday, LOL they have no clue to be exact when that was and I certainly do not think we should be celebrating a child molester and I don’t expect the MSM to point that fact about mohammed out, hell they can’t even mention holy Bible but they can say holy koran.

[Yankee]

Fluke you, Imam.

[IYAS9YAS]

OK, what day is it?

I'll go for either February 30, or April 31.
