Resolution backed by CAIR urges closing schools on Muslim holidays

Will the New York City school system be compelled to commemorate Islam on Sept. 11?
It has been widely reported the New York City Council passed a resolution Tuesday recommending the school system shut down to commemorate two of the most important Muslim holidays, however the reports did not note the holidays fall on Sept. 11 in some years.
The council vote, which was non-binding, is at odds with the opinion of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has said he is opposed to adding any more days off to the school calendar. Bloomberg, however, recently relinquished control of the school system to a newly appointed board of education, which could approve the holiday plan.
The Islamic holidays being considered for commemoration are Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. The former commemorates the Islamic belief Abraham was willing to sacrifice Ishmail. The latter marks the end of the Islamic fast period of Ramadan. Jewish and Christian tradition relates Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, not Ishmail.

Widely reported where? when I do a search of this "news" I get only one result Worldnet Daily. One source, especailly this one, is NOT widely reported.
This is nutts , no way , not , don't happen!
You probably won't find it through the state run media! you sound like one of it's sheeple followers .It's like God you won't find him unless you look !
Look where? I want to find it, just not on an unreliable news source like World Net daily. It would be hard for me to believe anything would be set aside as a holiday on September 11th. By the way, my daughter was there so do not tell me about being a "sheepie" is it? and since you seem to be speaking for god also, tell him to straighten out Mark Sanford, ok? and um think for YOURSELF.
Oh Snap, Anon 3:00!
Joe, why do you keep posting from WND? Did you run out of links to Pravda or the Weekly World News? :)
Because I miss you Chuck. I know if I post these articles you'll come back to Salisbury News and tell everyone how untrue everything is anti democrat. It's working, isn't it?
And I fell for it... hook, line, and sinker.
Bastard!
We hope to see you and your Family in Willards for the 4th. Can't beat FREE HOT DOGS!

I challenge you to find one story from WND that's false in any way !
What a slap in the face!Let the kids stay home from school if its that big a deal but do not expect the rest of us to observe their holidays.
Who's forcing you to observe anyone else's holidays... EVER... Bluto?
9:31,
Every story about Barack Obama being born in Kenya is false, and I've shown you, multiple times the press release from the director of health of the State of Hawai'i affirming the existence of his birth certificate in their files.
hey 3:00 Who is speaking for God ? I think you went off on a tangent twisting words that weren't said trying to make some weak point. So you allege you knew someone who was in the state of Newyork on sept 11th as a way of giving you credibility thats insane and proof you are perverted mentally by the state run media can I get you some straw to eat sheeple ?
Who cares what CAIR backs or wants. They have to many ties to terrorists for us to let them do or have a saying in anything.
This is stupid. And not true.
Love stories like this intended to stir ethnic hatred. Just what this country needs more of -- not!
