If the 4th of July was on a Saturday in Israel they wouldn’t celebrate it that day?

[Ann Archy]

IDIOCY!!!

[The Great RJ]

It’s our holiday so WE celebrate on July 4th. If the Muslims have a problem with that too damn bad. Muslims only fast during the day during Ramadan so they can bring their own dates and watch the fireworks after sunset.

[a fool in paradise]

“What difference does it make at this particular time anyhoo?”

Standard Obama State Department talking points.

The muslims won't see this as a sign of respect, they'll see it for what it is...a sign of weakness.

If there is a security threat, a US embassy does not celebrate the 4th of July on the 4th of July.

I have been to three US embassies for the 4th of July party and the party never took place on the 4th of July.

ramadan RAMADAN

ding dong DING DONG

well I’ve got a girl name of rama-rama-ramadana ding dong.

Imdependance day.....could be celebrated...in December....

July 4th... however does not translate at all well to other Months..of the year!

This democrack regime seems capable of screwing up ANYTHING whatsover

will thier MASCOT Day...APRIL FOOLS DAY end up being “celebrated” due to its conflicting with Who Knows What Month in Pakistan???

[Terry L Smith]

Oh cheesenrice!!!

Kiss mo mo’s behind, is it????

[Gene Eric]

>> June 4 was one done out of respect for the upcoming Ramadhan month

Asinine. What does it take to properly recognize July 4th on July 4th?

Capitulating Administrations suck.

[AU72]

Will the Muslims suspend Ramadan in the US on July 4 out of respect?

[knarf]

I never paid much attention to foreign affairs/protocol until the last five or so years, but it seems I NEVER heard of anyone EVER being "offended" by an American celebration on American soil (the embassy in any land is American soil, just as another embassy in America is French or German or whatever .... soil)

I've pretty much had it with offending people ... let's just get them all home

It's not like they're processing a couple of hundred VISA's a day or something

Besides a listening post (which .. a lot of good THAT does) ... I see no purpose for an embassy in a muzzie land

[RginTN]

How will they submit next...execute a muslim who decides to become a Christian???

[Chuckster]

I never celebrate the 4th of July and people who do annoy me. it just a date on a calendar.

I celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Dammit!

Try asking young people what they are celebrating on the 4th of July. You may be surprised at the answers you get.

Don’t let the left turn INDEPENDENCE DAY into just another meaningless long weekend by changing it’s name and removing the significance of this anniversary of our nation’s independence from it’s colonial masters.

[onedoug]

Eff ramadan and its celebrations of terror, rape, mass-murder, thievery and pedophilia.

And the so-called prophet can go to hell too.

[Paulie]

Guess separation of church and state doesn’t apply in this case.

[353FMG]

Sucking up to the muzzies — what else is new?

And we claim to be at war with ISIS. Who knew?

[John W]

Incredible. Why not just sign the surrender papers now?

[caww]

July the 4th 1776 ........has now become so irrelevant we can move it around to wherever it doesn't offend anyone and change it's theme as well....as follows

"Blake explained that 'the theme of the event' leaned toward “green” development, which supported the US’ focus on building and promoting a green economy and more environmentally sustainable development......"

[ought-six]

You’ve got to be f***ing kidding me.
