No way Jose! I don't care how many Muslim's live in the valley. This is opening up a Pandora's box and shouldn't happen. Most of them are here illegally and shouldn't be. What next Cinco De Mayo? Bastille Day? Buddah's birthday? We have enough holidays and don't need to placate the Muslims with a few of theirs. Let them take them off and be excused for them. Those towns are crazy!

This is an Obamanation! He is showing his true colors and encouraging harmony with the enemy. These people hate us and we are going to take their holiday's off? How are we going to hail a cab in NYC? How are we going to survive with no 7-11 open? How am I going to get my Slurpee fix? This is a joke and should be treated as such!

Yes. It is about time. If we want this to stay a free country we must accept all religions and nationalities. Actually most of the muslims are here legally and they are your doctors and high profile people. Dont be upset because their education is much better and they achieve high level positions that you couldnt even imagine obtaining.

Wow AIB you are hilarious! My doctor is not a muslim. Nor is my lawyer. Next we will all have to bow down to Mecca and bow our heads. OHHHHHH How I knew electing Obama was going to be a big mistake.

NO WAY, NO HOW. This is a travesty. They can take the day off if they want but to shut down the entire school system for a very small minority is one hundred percent WRONG.

Slavery is not the issue here, although that's what the muslims would do if they could. How are we ignorant when we know that muslims are honor-bound to kill anyone who is not a muslim? Have you read the Quran? Did you know that anyone who is not a muslim is an infidel and is supposed to be killed or brought into dimmihtude (slavery to muslims?)? I will fight to the death before I will live under Sharia law in this country.

Give the school district personnel a raise! They deserve it!! Are these the same people that the parents go to bat for every year at budget time to ensure that the districts get enough money!! What are they teaching the in classroom?

America has been taken over! We should declare Muslim holidays when they do the same for our people who are in their countries and not until.

Wow...you people are seriously uneducated. Why don't you read up a little on middle eatern culture, it is not all about what you hear and see on television. And besides, why do we have to shut down for christisn holidays...we should shut the schools down for prominent Jewish and Muslim holidays as well. What's fair is fair, correct?

Actually most area school systems now shut down for Yom Kippur. If there are enough Muslim students why not? And for some of the more ignorant posters here most of those kids are natural born US citizens

Lynne B. I am not sure what Quran you are reading but i have read the quran and there are no such teachings that you speak of. All you people should do your own research if you want to speak about it. Dont believe everything you see on tv.

And get your history right, slavery started in the stone age and i am pretty sure it was the europeans that eventually perfected it.

I don't watch TV to learn about the Islamic threat. Ever heard of the website jihadwatch.com ? I also have friends who are very involved in learning about this threat to the American way of life and the goal is to enslave or kill ALL non-believers and to destroy western civilization as it is now and to erect a new Caliphate. Believe me when I tell you, if you appreciate the life you have now in the USA, you should strive to oppose this foe in every way you possibly can. They seek to eradicate all semblance of freedom for those who are not muslim. And if you really HAVE read the Quran, you would find many many quotes about "death to all non-believers". Mohammed may have preached about "peace" but he only wants it for muslims, not the rest of the world. Besides, I don't believe ANYTHING any pedophile has to say about peace. And yes, Mohammed was a pedophile. He married a 6-year-old girl, and consummated the marriage when she was 9 years old. Don't believe me? It's IN THE QURAN. READ it.

You need to get YOUR history straight. It wasn't the Europeans that "perfected" slavery, it was the Middle Eastern nations. They paid top dollar for northern european blonde women, and they also cornered the market on selling slaves to slave traders in the New World. You need to watch "Roots" again.

FYI...'Roots' was fiction.

Daily Horoscope for January 5

Scorpio

Let the past stay in the past for now. Even though you may have fond memories of intense experiences, the Virgo Moon sees to it that you have virtually no desire to go there again just yet. This is your opportunity to show others what you can do in a more civilised environment. Don't try to shout down someone who is rude enough to interrupt. As unlikely as it may seem, the softest voice has the biggest chance of being heard today.
