If this country can't have 'Christmas' and 'Easter' holidays anymore because they are religious days and instead have to have 'winter' and 'spring' break, who do these muslims think they are to insist THEIR religious holidays be put into the school year? Oh, that's right, we now have a muslim president, I forgot.

They do not want diversity, they want to live under their rules and traditions..and if you do not, you are considered the enemy, where death in punishment. WAKE UP PEOPLE!! They are using our system to create Sharia, Islamic Law.

First it's school holidays, next they'll hit the workplace and demand federal holidays. Don't you just love these people that want to turn the U.S. into "their" own country (illegal immigrants, muslims, etc) When is the U.S. going to wake up and stop bowing down to every group that comes along?

This country was supposed to have separation of church and state.Yet we have religious holidays ( Good Friday and Christmas )and the schools have Jewish religious holidays.Enough is enough.

Does this stuff ever stop? This country is based on Christianity. Let them go home to their own countries. It's people like them that prevent our nativity displays; next they will demand that we stop displaying Christmas trees! They should be allowed to miss school for their holidays and not be penalized, but THAT IS IT!!! One of the rights you have in this country is the RIGHT TO LEAVE!

Hello bigot, we are NOT a Christian nation (read the constitution we have seperation of church and state). If you are so worried about displaying christian religous symbols in government buildings why don't you LEAVE and move to the Vatican City or maybe you can become a Muslim and go live with the Ayatollahs in Iran, you seem to think the same way!

Don't try to change our country to be like your crappy countries. Go back if you don't like the way things are here. Nobody will miss you. Don't let the door hit you in the a*s.

Kill the Muslims. Name me a good one.

they never spoke out against what was done on Sept 11th. The just kept quiet.

Imagine what the catholic church would say if we killed in the name of jesus christ. The church would speak out against us immediately, but not muslims, they never spoke against those acts. You cannot trust these people.

You mean like all the people the church murdered during the Spanish inquisition? The church has yet to give a full apology yet I know more attack all catholics than I do all muslims for 9/11. This is just another example of bigotry by a proud adherent of the church which demands free speech but opposes it for others!

Listen. The bottom line is we need to kill the muslims. They are no good. Okay so maybe that happened in the Spanish inquisition, and what happened during WW II, but let;s not let it hapenned in today's times, let's kill them first. What good do they serve?

Who's going to miss them?

Give it a rest already. People are tired of your spam. Live in the present and not in past centuries. You are probably a muslim troll anyway.

Isn't that just too bad, The garbage that is spewed by the leadership is little different from that of the moronic mullahs. ANd your bigotry is showing through loud and clear. And BTW I am not a muslim. In this country the catholic church is trying to impose its beliefs on non catholics just like the mullahs do in Iran.
