New York City is moving to close school for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year — but Mayor de Blasio isn’t so sure about the Hindu festival Diwali.

Appearing on WNYC’s “Brian Lehrer Show” on Monday, the mayor said he hadn’t taken a position on whether Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated in India and other South Asian countries, should be a day off from school.

But he said he’d move forward with closing schools for Lunar New Year and for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Muslim holy days.

“It is complicated in terms of logistics and school calendar and budget. But it’s something I want to get done in a reasonable time frame,” he said.

 

A spokesman for the Indian community appealed to the mayor to recognize the Hindu holiday.

“We are disappointed. We’ve been trying for a long time … It’s very important for the community,” said Dr. Shashi Shah of the Association of Indians in America.

But saying, "Merry Christmas" is deemed offensive and "Christmas plays" are banned in public schools.

as long as you are submitting to the will of Allah, there will not be another 9/11 from Islam....    if Islam was really behind the first one.

This is outrageous...why should Muslim kids get a couple of days off school when we can't even get a single day off for any Christian holidays!

"What difference, at this point, does it make!?"

 

It seems that NY has found itself another god to fear more than YHWH.

 

Evil men need a god to fear, and "hippy" Jesus just isn't the answer for them anymore, with all his forgiveness, and love and compassion nonsense.

 

Evil men and cowards will always bend the knee and bow before powerful men, they believe their fealty will earn them mercy.  Allah is unmerciful and whimsical about who is allowed into his paradise.  Yet, bend the knee they must, even if they know what is promised is a lie. 

 

They will give up eternity for one more breath of air.

I would think they would fear Allah more......   goodness, the Father has his followers pray for you if you disagree with him.....   Allah has his followers cut your head off.   Short term fear......   Allah wins.

They do fear allah and his servants more, that's why it's not PC to criticize or identify terrorists as muslims.

 

That's all cowards and wicked men understand, power and fear, and that they must submit to it. 

 

To secularists and cowards, YHWH is nothing to fear, He witholds judgment until after their life has ended and to them, there's nothing more pressing than living right now.  They will do whatever they can to prolong their lives, and stave off judgment as long as possible and will submit to those that will not hesitate to kill them.

 

Liberty is a perishable commodity to them, and currency to be traded for another day of living, regardless of how miserable and horrible it may become.
