I wish I were making this up. I guess separation of Church and State doesnt apply to Islam.

HONOLULU – Hawaii's state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate "Islam Day" — over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn't want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.
The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks.
"I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue — same-sex civil unions.
The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House.
The bill seeks to recognize "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.
"We are a state of tolerance. We understand that people have different beliefs," said Sen. Will Espero, a Democrat. "We may not all agree on every single item and issue out there, but to say and highlight the negativity of the Islamic people is an insult to the majority" of believers "who are good law-abiding citizens of the world."
But Republican Sen. Sam Slom argued that the United States has become too sympathetic toward Islamic extremists.
"I don't think there's any country in the history of the world that has been more tolerant than the United States of America, and because of that tolerance, we've looked the other way a lot of times, and many thousands of our citizens have been killed by terrorists," said Slom, a Republican.
The lone Democrat voting against the bill opposed it on church-state separation fears.

1984 Is Happening today
Orwell was 25 years ahead of reality. Doublespeak is real. Thoughtcrime exists.
War is Peace, INGSOC, and Big Brother are with us.
Here in CA they are talking about creating a Harvey Milk Bday memorial day, the queer fag mayor of SF who was shot. I protest having a day for such a degenerate. Now they want an Islam day! This is totally mind numbing.
Now I can have many memorial days which I can curse the object of the day. Curse Martin Luther King day, which they forced on many. Curse Harvey Milk day for his gayness. Curse Islam day for the terroristic death cult it is.
Just like 1984 there will be mass Hate days ... But I wont be hating on Goldstien, Ill be hating on MLK, Gays, and Islam.

I read about this on another forum this morning.
And, the thing that I find interesting about this is, that this is coming from a state which is closely connected to our inept President.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm.......

hmmmmmmmmmmm is right ag!

Islam Day in Hawaii? Finally, the island has an opportunity to celebrate the religion that most of its residents didn't even know existed before 9/11, and has no connection to its history.
I didn't think there were any Muslims in Hawaii since Barack Obama left, but I guess a bunch must have converted while doing time.

I never thought any lawmaker would say that.

Abben,
That is a surprising development.
I, also, never thought any of our lawmakers would say something like that, especially in regards to a state with close connections to our inept Commander in Chief.

That's exactly what I thought of as I read this. And it's not just this issue. 1984 is approaching us in many aspects of American life today.

zachor,
You have a good point.
It does have an eerily familiar feel to it.

I think that the public school system no longer allows teachers to teach 1984 as part of the curriculum. I think my Advanced Preparatory English teacher was one of the last to teach us this vital story. Now kids today have no idea what we are talking about when we say 1984.

Welcome to Opposite Land. *rolls eyes*

Hawaii has a large Muslim population. Many Pakistanis live there so this is not surprising.

Islam day will be celebrated but as the last day of Islam.

Shalom!
Even the most beautiful group of islands anywhere in the world are not immune from the darkness of Islam. In the name of multiculturalism we have ruined many great cities and countries around the world. Islam spreads like cancer on tolerant idyllic societies and makes them intolerant and repressive. Most Hawaiians have no clue what this ideology entails. Being remote the way they are, the islands are a world unto themselves. One day the wonderful people who call the isles home are going to wake up and come to terms with the reality that tolerating intolerance is the worst form of collective suicide.
From someone who has spent his happiest days of life on the islands

@ At this rate soon the Hawaian dancer girls may find themselves dancing hoola in Burkha covered from top to bottom. Albeit the tourists may still enjoy it thinking it to be a new dance of ghosts.
