No word on when we'll have Christian Appreciation Month, Hebrew Appreciation Month, Buddhist Appreciation Month, etc.

Maybe they are hoping if they appreciate them a little more the Muslim community won't blow them up.

I think it's so when the muslims get frisky, they will kill the assembly members last.

Wicca
Baha'i
Hindu
Aladura
Cao Dai
Gnosticism
Jainism
Jehovah's Witnesses
Maya
Rastafarianism
Sikhism
Taoism
Zoroastrianism


There are many more. In the true spirit of both ecumenism and non-discrimination, we should honor all equally. Which means we don't have enough months, so maybe (just maybe) we could give each one a week.

I wonder if this violates the Establishment Clause. (1st Amendment)

I wonder what portions of the Islamic faith California appreciates the most; The tolerance towards homosexuals and trans folks, the notoriously equal treatment of women in both work and social settings, the faith's clear, strong Pro-Choice leanings, Islam's open tolerance and accommodations for other faiths living in Islamic countries?  I mean the list goes on and on.  So many things that American Liberals should appreciate about mainstream Islam.......

Just use the ones recognized by the VA for headstones. We are gonna need a lot of months.

I want to know how the Muslim 5 Pointed Star got copyrighted. Do you have to cover the headstone if you use it?

Maybe you pay royalties to Allah.
