Ha.

As opposed to the Ronettes’ Sleigh Ride 🎄🎅🤶

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
(Ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)
Were snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There is no God named Allah and Mohammed was a false prophet! Allahu Fubar!

Muslims are not even one percent of the population yet they are already making demands on government and society.

When they are five percent of the population, they will demand Sharia Law everywhere.

When they are ten percent of the population, homosexuals will be put to death. Yes, that is coming.

Kwanzaa celebrates standard rape.

The pedophiles will have to come up with their own holiday.

If you have Muslim friends, here's an interesting thing to do.

Be alone with one, in a friendly, relaxed situation. Disarm him or her with friendly banter.

Then this or similar:... "[their name], I know you are a Muslim, and I would never think of trying to convert you to anything else. But do you, as a Muslim, believe that other people should be free to believe in their religions too, whatever they may be, Catholic, Jew, Hindu, Presbyterian, Baptist, and so forth? Watch their eyes. Listen to their response.

The first Muslim I asked the question regarding other religions had been a friend for around six months. He was about as "moderate" and a friendly Muslim as you'll ever meet.

He was well educated, a Colonel in the Egyptian army, his wife a surgeon.

When I asked him the question, you should have seen the look of pure chilling hatred that came across his face. He looked me right in the eye. His response: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammed is his messenger".

Then he went right back to normal.

Every non Muslim (infidel) needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran. Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening.

IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.

Yeah, let’s replace Christmas with Eid al-Fitr so we can all celebrate Bomb-a-dan. /s

While Penn did argue for religious freedom, he did so within the context of the Christian religion... The 17th century statutes also required that members of civil government in Pennsylvania be Christians who “profess and declare they believe in Jesus Christ to be the Son of God the Savior of the World.”

That is called "original intent".

Khan added that the official recognition of Eid al-Fitr would be a “testament to the growth of the U.S. as a multi-faith and multicultural country.”

That is called "not original intent".

The founders of Pennsylvania and this nation knew what they were doing. Islam was around in those days. It was universally known then (and now) as a murderous, tyrannical, Satanic religious cult which was (and is) a danger to freedom, liberty and all Christian faiths.

and that’s why Islam cannot coexist with any other religion.

The NYC Bored of Ed school calendar has featured both Eid al fitr and Eid al adha as official days off for several years now. They added Diwali a couple years ago. Virtue signalling, anyone?

Ramadan has got to be the unhealthiest "fast". You can't eat or drink during the day, but then you can pig out at night right before you go to bed.

Every nutritionist will tell you that that's a bad idea.
