[quote=Anonymous]Research a little further.

The modern Pc movement is from the 90s, mostly in universities.

If you want to argue about political correctness, start a different thread and stop derailing this very cordial and informative thread about Ramadan.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Ramadan is in the summer, and its purpose is atonement, and Eid is the celebration at the end of the fast, also in the summer, then why was the media and the PC folks so strongly pushing "Happy Ramadan" during the Hannukah and Christmas holiday season?

probably for the same reason that I get wished "happy hannukkah" in mid to late december, even when Hanukkah has already occured (it can come as early as late November) the people you describe as PC (which I take it means "polite") are still not necessarily aware of the calendars and cultures of others.

Still they should be thanked and appreciated - it sure as hell beats being intolerant. [/quote]

No, by PC I mean the actual PC movement.

It was in its heyday when I was in college.  It is a real name for a real movement.

PC as in politically correct, was a term used by the Communist Party in discussing the validity of certain cultural products.  You are either very old (as in you went to college in the 1930s) or you have swallowed the right wing usage, which used the term PC as a weapon to link feminists and others to the Communists.

It is not in fact a name for a "movement"  A google search will show that to you pretty quickly.
