[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep... people have done horrible things through the ages.. we have had the crusades but the basic tenants of Christianity support good morals.  The Navy shooter was Buddist but no one thinks Buddism was the problem. I don't know too much about Islam. One person's rights end where another person's begin.  If there were a substantial number of Muslims in MCPS, I would feel differently but I do take offense by a very small minority trying to convince the majority they should not go to school in solidarity.  If I lived in an area where only 1 percent was Christian, I wouldn't expect Christmas off and I think it would be arrogant to make such a request.[/quote]

How is the request "arrogant"? It's a request, not a demand. If you don't think there is a need for Muslims to speak up and request a day off for their holiday, chances are you are not the one being directly affected by it. Those of us who are not Christians don't complain about Christmas season and the onslaught of Christmas related things being shoved in our faces starting in October, but as soon as other religions try to gain some equality, the whining from the conservative Christians starts...whine whine whine. You got yours, now you are getting offended when others ask for theirs. I would call THAT arrogant.[/quote]
