ARMONK, N.Y. – When they light the town Christmas tree in Armonk on Sunday, there will be a Jewish menorah right alongside, as usual. There will also be something new this year — an Islamic crescent and star.
And if there are any Buddhists or Hindus in town who want to see their symbols, the town is welcoming applications.
The holiday display, sponsored by the town of North Castle, which includes the village of Armonk, is among a growing number around the country that include the symbol for Islam.

What exactly is it that Allah worshippers are celebrating this December? Ramadan has been over for months.
Maybe next ramadan we can erect a nativity scene and a menorah beside the local mosque?

"Arab-Americans and Muslim Americans are Americans and respect other religions. They know that Christmas is a big holiday and they're glad to be included." The Muzzies celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ? The homosexuals aren't going to be very happy about this.

You nailed it before I could get my reply posted. We are celebrating Christmas to mark the birth of Jesus. What exactly are the Muslims, Hindus or Buddists celebrating that earns them equal time next to our symbols of the season?

pretty disgusting.
another attempt, like Kwaanza, to diminish the importance of Christmas.
Christianity is what made western civilization great. And our world rejecting its principles and teachings accelerates the crumbling thereof.

What’s there to do?
Try to tell everyone that Islam is a crock that was founded by a bloodthirsty pedophile?
Do that and your name will be taken down for a spot at Obama’s reeducation camp that features electro-shock therapy and global warming lectures following a lunch of steaming hot white guilt?

I celebrate Saturnalia, but I don’t live in Armonk. We have a Christmas tree is our (postage stamp size) village green, with a menorah, tree, and Kwanzaa candle-thingy at the Township hall.

I celebrate Saturnalia, but I don't live in Armonk, so won't be petitioning said town (or any other town) to represent me via a sacrifice of wild boar and an orgy. We have a Christmas tree is our (postage stamp size) village green, with a menorah, tree, and Kwanzaa candle-thingy at the Township hall.
