Alrighty then. Our Dear Miss Kelleigh wanted to post this , but could not today, and asked me to look at it. OK I did , and my head exploded.                           (Warning Rant Coming)

I have no time to mince words. I am angry, no that’s to soft. I am bat shit crazy out of my mind over this , and so should you if you are a Christian, and or an American. They are capitulating to muzzies. I value you dear readers, but friends,, make no mistake about it.  We Have crossed the Rubicon. We on the right play nice. Why? Screw that. No More. From now on I’m going to be chucking firebombs at ya. I need you angry. Not polite comments from your couch. It’s now or never that we get people awake, angry and confront the only body where we may have a chance of stemming some of the dammage. Congress. I’m not calling for violence, just rightous anger. More to come.                        ~Steve~

New York City prepares to close public schools for Muslim holidays, Lunar New Year

By ERIC OWENS

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced plans to implement a policy allowing public schools to close for two major Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year.

However, de Blasio also indicated that the Hindu festival Diwali may not reach a level of ethnic and multicultural importance to suit his vacation-day fancy, reports the Daily News.

The mayor said he is still deciding if Diwali should rate as a public school holiday.

“It is complicated in terms of logistics and school calendar and budget,” de Blasio said of the school closings he has decided to endorse. “But it’s something I want to get done in a reasonable time frame.”

The Muslim holidays when Big Apples schools will be able to shut down are Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and has no set date.

Eid al-Adha occurs in the fall and honors Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son on God’s command. As part of the holiday, Muslims who can afford it are expected to sacrifice their best domestic animal (cow, goat, camel, sheep, etc., depending on the region).

Estimates of the number of Muslims in New York City vary between 200,000 and 1,000,000. A website called A Journey Through NYC Religions guesstimates the number to be 600,000—roughly seven percent of the population.

The Lunar New Year is an important holiday in China and other East Asian nations. The date varies, but it’s in the winter.

According to a press release from Democrat Sheldon Silver, Speaker of the New York State Assembly, one in six New York City public school students is Asian American.
