References to Christmas, Easter, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanahhave been stricken from next year’s school calendar in Montgomery County, MD. This was in response to Muslim demands that the school district give equal treatment to the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Adha
This stripping of all religious holidays off the calendar wasn’t exactly what Saqib Ali, former Maryland state delegate and member of the Equality for Eid Coalition, had hoped for.
“By stripping the names Christmas, Easter, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they have alienated other communities now, and we are no closer to equality,” stated Ali. “It’s a pretty drastic step, and they did it without any public notification.”
The Maryland school district appears to have been battling the Muslims in their efforts by taking this action.

You can not remove these holidays because they are National Holidays. And Easter is a religious holiday Nationally.
I don’t understand all the “Damn Muslim” comments in this article. It’s as if some of you people don’t understand English. “Freedom of Religion” means that Muslims are free to practice their religion. And according to this article, the only thing that the Muslims in question had requested is that their holiday also be added to the calendar — nothing more and nothing less. They never requested for the other holidays to be removed. It was the school board who removed all of the holidays. Some Muslims are real pricks, but most Muslims that I have met throughout my life have been, by far, some of the nicest people. I think it’s terrible that the only ones that seem to be reported in the news are the ones who are assholes. I have friends in the military who are Muslims and who serve honorably. My mother has a Muslim cardiologist who is amazing and is one of the nicest people. And all of these people are moderately religious, though not zealots. But you people on here seem to have this hell-bent, illogical & xenophobic rage about you that comes out even when the basic story itself clearly states that “the Muslims” were NOT trying to get rid of the holidays. You guys should try clicking those last few remaining neurons together. 😉
