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.

Yes they should have, not everyone is a Christian. People need to read the facts of this action and not the sensationalized sound bites designed to illicit anger before one even knows the story. There was no demand and this was an action under consideration for a few years BEFORE a request to have a Muslim holiday listed on the school calendar along with Christian and Jewish school holidays. It wasn’t a request for an additional day off either. It was a request to have a Muslim holiday listed on the calendar for a previously scheduled holiday. The school district made this decision and not because of any :”demand”.
Go to Sand Country home of the Muslims and demand to have a Christian holiday added to their calender and see what happens !!!!!!!!!!
Hell no !!
They are infringing on everyone else’s rights !!! PERIOD !!!!
