is the recent Muslim demand (and institution) of Muslim holidays in the NY public schools what you would call 'assimilation'......?
i think not....the Muslim population in NY is growing but not large enough to justify this...maybe
Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, etc. should consider flying planes into a couple of New York skyscrapers; then they’ll get their holidays off, too.....
Muslims expect us to conform to them......not the other way around....
Muslim Holidays in New York Public Schools: Why Not?
Kids in NY have Jewish holidays off from school, too. Does that mean that Jews haven't "assimilated" either?
Muslims form only 10% of the student body in New York City’s public schools. By contrast, when Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur won recognition in 1960, Jewish students made up 33% of school enrollment. Not only that, but a staggering 45% of the teachers were Jewish!
In other words, there was a really, really strong case for the Jews.....not for the Muslims or the others.....but Muslims are very pushy.....this is a form of their jihad...
2 more days off from school is "a form of jihad"?
I don't even know how to respond to that.
you simply don't get it.......why should they get those two days off when the other small minorities don't......? like i said....they are loud and demanding and they also knocked off the trade towers....
Muslims make up the third largest religious group within school-age children (10%) - compared to less than 1% each for Sikhs, Jainists, and all the other tiny religions you mentioned before.
How does having those days off as holidays hurt anyone at all?
i suppose you would be amenable to muslim prayer rooms as well....?
