The bill, introduced to the New York State Senate earlier this year by Senator John D. Sabini, makes Eid-al-Adha and Eid-al-Fitr official holidays in New York City public schools.

Bro, a little late - I called this morning and they said session closed yesterday and that the bill did not come up for a vote in either house.
Oh sorry, I just posted it this morning - I just received the email from the CAIR e-mail list serve yesterday.
It’s ok, I forgive you and CAIR
What’s next? They take over America? Oh wait, that’s the plan I forgot.
The fact that CAIR even thinks a muslim holiday should be put into the New York public school system is very disrespectful to the citizens of New York. After what extremeist muslims did to that great city you people have the balls to request a holiday. I hope that being a muslim becomes more and more of a burden everyday. I wish for nothing more than the destruction of your way of life and your bullshi#t that spews from your mouths. May Islam fail and the Koran be used to wipe my a$$.
