Schools Celebrate Muslim Holidays

Muslims seem to get more religious rights than Christians in our government schools lately. Would Obama have anything to do with that? Not sure but something is going on here that seems strange, if not unconstitutional!
“In Dearborn, Mich., where schools are closed on both the day before and the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the predominantly-Muslim football team has switched its two-a-day summer practice schedule to 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. during Ramadan, so that Muslim players — who fast while the sun is up – won’t be forced to practice in the heat without drinking water.”
“The move received little backlash in Dearborn, because most of the football players are Muslims. But syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor Cal Thomas says he doesn’t see Christian students getting similar accommodations around the country.”
“It is instructive to me that schools are going out of their way to discriminate against Christians by denying them the right to voluntarily pray with coaches and other players before games, but those same schools bend over backwards to accommodate Muslim student athletes for Ramadan,” Thomas told FoxNews.com.
“This is worse than a double standard. It is singling out one religion and giving it priority over all others. And that is, or ought to be, unconstitutional.”

so, what? They shouldn’t have any holidays for Muslims at all? It should all be Christian holidays huh? cool. right.
We are not a Muslim society. We are basically a Christian nation. I wonder how long any Muslim country would put up with Christians demanding rights like Muslims do here? They simply kill Christians because that’s what their Islamic religion says is proper. Cool, right?
