Islam isn't just a religion. If they are a practicing Muslim, then they are radical. Some just don't let us see behind the curtain.
Is your friend a practicing Muslim? If so, ask him what would happen if his family found out he was converting to Christianity.
They would be upset, they are pretty americanized.
But i feel a disowning coming up since he got a tongue ring
I think the ring was a dumb idea too.. lol
Converting to Christianity, apostay, the penalty for that is death. Actually, the penalty for lots of things in Islam is death. Is apostay a stoning crime, a beheading crime, or some other brutal form of death crime. Sometimes I don't get this religion of peace and love.
Maybe we all need to see an interview with a suicide bomber before judging though:

+2. I don't think that they should have dropped Labor day for the whole plant. I think they should have at a minimum made it a floating holiday for those that want/don't want to celebrate it. I mean hell, do the majority of people who take off for memorial, veterans and labor day really celebrate it the way it was written? Nope...lol
What? No they aren't. That is like saying Christianity isn't just a religion. If you are a practicing Christian, then you are a zealot.
Christmas, Easter, Mardi Gras, Thanksgiving...
And I agree with that 10000000%. I think it should have been offered as a floating holiday. That's my whole point.
Easter is on a Sunday . Off anyway .
Mardi Gras ? You'r kidding , right ? Care to provide a Biblical reference ?
Thanksgiving ? Sorry , no .
Let's face it . We all know what has happened to Christmas .
My Dad retired from the state . He used to joke about them giving holidays in lieu of pay raises .

My final comment on this thread is simply that I agree with LACamper on post #77. Tyson made a dumb move with the swap of hollidays and I will not buy their products because of it.
That being said I still have my opinions about comments made here and the great thing is that we can all say them even if we each think the other guy is an idiot (he he he)!!!
Ya'll keep having fun here I am out.

I bet Palestine has room for you you need a ticket?
My company and alot of others have a day off right around easter for it.
You're kidding, right? MG is a Catholic holiday. If you need someone to point that out, you're not from here.
Thanksgiving, yes. In the United States, Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day legal holiday to express gratitude for the things one has at the end of the harvest season, usually directed to God. Although it can be construed as not holding reverence to one religion, thanks are given to a God for the harvest. So yes, it is religous. I'll ask you one thing: Do you pray to God and give him thanks for the bounty you have when you are at the table? That should answer your question.
And it's still a religous holiday. I didn't list Good Friday, Ash Wednesday or All Saints Day. However, down here you can get them off.
Mardi Gras is NOT a legitimate religous holiday . If it were , Catholics would be celebrating it worldwide . ( Still waiting on that Biblical reference )
When was the last time you heard of a Catholic Church having a Mardi Gras Mass ? I was raised a Catholic AND was born and raised here . Forget about that one pal .
Thanksgiving ? Nope . You'r twisting that one as well . Since you quoted WIKIPEDIA almost word for word ( busted ) , you should have quoted the part about it being a secular holiday . It's origins pre date the Pilgrims at Plymouth . It wasn't a religous holiday for them either . Forget about that grade school stuff .
Oh yeah , Ash Wednesday and All Saints Day ? Who gets those day off ? Hell , the Catholic Diocese probably even works those days .

You would support the people who teach their children this?

Really, it's not a legitimate religious holiday?
Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival, the three day period preceding the beginning of Lent, the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday immediately before Ash Wednesday (some traditions count Carnival as the entire period of time between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday). So there goes that theory.
They do, just not the partying which has come to overshadow the holiday. As far as you're biblical reference, just open a bible. I think you're not as well versed as you think you are. http://www.crivoice.org/cylent.html
When? How about every ASH WEDNESDAY! Mardi Gras is the last day of feasting before the fast. You then go to mass on Ash Wednesday. Odd, if you were raised Catholic (and here, nonetheless) you would have known that is what you do.
OMG, I quoted wiki!! How dare I! I guess all the facts that are in there, with the specific cites for where that information came from, is without merit. Your argument doesn't work.
It is a registered secular holiday. So you're saying you don't pray on Thanksgiving? You don't give any worship the Sunday before? Ok, I'll buy that. I guess it isn't considered a religious holiday at all. I think you're now twisting it. To say it is a purely secular holiday is wrong. If it isn't, how about you DON'T pray to your God giving thanks for a bountiful harvest. Lincoln is the one who started Turkey day. Here is his proclamation:
"It has seemed to me fit and proper that they ['gracious gifts from God'] should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and voice by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens." — October 3, 1863 - Thanksgiving Proclamation
Wow, you're right. That doesn't sound religious at all
According to you, no holidays are religious. However, if we were to take Christ out of them (praying on Thanksgiving, going to mass on Ash Wednesday, etc) you'd bitch about the liberals interfering with your God given right to worship on those holy days. You can't have it both way (unless it's in your posts...). Not alot of people get those days off. But all they asked was what religious holidays are out there. Those are religious holidays.
