No, you didn't answer it. You claim America is a nation of Christian beliefs, hence why you don't want people getting off from school for Islamic holidays. Why don't you bitch and moan and complain while people have been getting off for Jewish holidays for years now?lowing wrote:

You said we are a nation of Christian beliefs and ideals, which is why you don't like this. Where's your outrage?
For someone who accuses people of not answering your questions all the time, you certainly love to do it yourself.
The second the Jews attack America in the name of Judism, I will disapprove. Fair enough?
It doesn't matter that Jews didn't attack America in the name of Judaism. That's not what you said.
You posted it, you answer it.

It DOESN'T MATTER. YOU said that you don't want people getting off from school for Islamic holidays because we're a nation of Christian beliefs. IF you weren't a hypocrite, you would apply that to ALL non-christian religions. But you don't, because you're a hypocrite.
And your kids probably aren't off from school for Islamic holidays either, so why the fuck do you even care?
You are too late, I already said my opinion is hypocritical to the constitution. I however, hold Islam in contempt almost as much as Islam holds western society in contemptPoseidon wrote:

I post my opinions on this forum, to great criticism and personal attacks, and the vast majority of them I take and do not retaliate. I also respect the opposing view points to my own and although I will attackthe opinions I do not attack the people posting them.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

If you think that America has not developed its own culture over the past 240 years, then you are in some sort of deep denial.DoctaStrangelove wrote:

As if America ever had its pwn culture, and even they, what could be gained from "protecting" it.

Although this "Holiday" is complete bullshit imo, this is America. We are a nation of all races and beliefs. However, we are also supposed to separate church from state. Which makes no fucking sense that we get Christian holidays off work and school at all. We can't be hypocrites ffs. They need to stop making any religious holidays which affect public schools and or businesses. I can't even think of a holiday that's worth a shit besides Memorial day.
If you guys want to agree or disagree, do it without flaming. Everyone here has the right to express their opinions and beliefs.
Lowing, you're a stronger person than most here.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
Thing is, there is no denying the intent of the founding fathers and their words and actions. They set up our nation with Christianity in mind and its morality. Islam was not a consideration, and since Islam goes against those beliefs, it is no stretch to reason or justify its resistance by society. Even oin the face of hypocrisy.King_County_Downy wrote:

THey also did not include all men are created equal to mean black people. It was the time they lived in. I am glad that has been resolved. However, since Islam does not reflect our society and morality as it is today, I see no way or reason to accept it and adopt it as part of our mainstream society, since doing so, is a step backwards.usmarine wrote:

The only sides to Islam that get huge publicity and have serious financial backing are the two major extremist sects, originating in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Visit Indonesia. Largest Muslim country on Earth. They'd have a hugely booming economy right now too if it wasn't for Australian and American interference.

Shawn Larsen is the proud Mormon Mayor of Rexburg, Idaho, home to that bastion of higher learning, Brigham Young University – Idaho. Mayor Larsen, who leads a town largely populated with fellow Mormons, had to apologize after a group of the town’s 2nd and 3rd grade students began chanting, “assassinate Obama” while riding on their school bus.lowing wrote:

Why don't you move, clearly you haven't got the least clue what your country is about and what it represents. All of your views on the US are pretty much totally wrong. I don't think there is someone out there with a more misguided view of his own country, you make it sound like the USA is the Christian equivalent of Saudi Arabia
