NZ: Muslims call for transfer of religious holidays

Islamic replacement theology at work:

Ashura, Eid al Adha: slaughter-orgies to replace Christmas, Easter, Passover and Chanukah?

Muslims in New Zealand are to petition the Government to have Christmas and Easter public holidays transferred to days on which they celebrate their own religious festivals.

The Federation of Islamic Associations plans to discuss religious holidays as part of the Government’s constitutional review.

Association president Anwar Ghani says at present, Muslims have to take up to four days’ annual leave to celebrate religious holidays such as Eid-al-Fitr which marks the end of the month of Ramadan.

“It would be really a lot nicer if we had the provision to substitute one or two days of the other holidays so that we can, without sacrificing the annual leave, enjoy the festivities and feel that we have been included in the provisions of leave.”

Dr Ghani says the Muslim community does not want to complicate the system, but it would like to discuss whether allowances could be made.

But a humanist group believes non-Christians should not be allowed to transfer Christmas and Easter holidays to their own festivals – as most people do not treat the days as religious holidays.

In the 2006 census, 34.7% of New Zealanders stated they have no religion.

John Murphy, president of the Association of Rationalists and Humanists, says for many people celebrating Christmas it is now about tradition and family time.

“It’s more of a New Zealand cultural and society thing nowadays. The religious reasons are becoming a bit of an anachronism, given that a large portion of New Zealanders don’t go to church and don’t observe religious holidays.

“So the ‘me too’ argument doesn’t wash, I think.”

During the review period, the public will be consulted on a range of questions – from the size of Parliament to the role of the Treaty of Waitangi and whether New Zealand should have a written constitution.

The review panel will make its recommendations by September 2013.

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Oz: muslims want taxpayer funded trips home, & help purchasing homes in enclaves, among other things …

Pay for our trips home – Islamic group

[NEW migrants should get taxpayer subsidies to visit overseas relatives, an Islamic group says.

The Islamic Women's Welfare Association also says Muslims prefer to live close to their own people and Australia should consider how to "facilitate the purchase of homes for new migrants".]
