Pamela Geller is reporting that Washington state has become the first state to recognize Islamic Holidays as official State holidays.
Geller quoting The Daily Wire notes, “The state of Washington, which does not officially recognize Easter or Yom Kippur as state holidays, became the first state in the nation to recognize the two Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as unpaid state-recognized holidays when Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson signed the legislation into law this month.”
No other state currently accepts these as official holidays. This is an example of diversity upending the traditions of the founders, who believed in Biblical values and worshipped accordingly.
The move to add these holidays was made by Sen. Yasmin Trudeau (D-Tacoma). Rep. Osman Salahuddin (D-Redmond) sponsored the companion bill. The Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson was bragging about this latest innovation. “This bill is historic. Washington is now the first state to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays.”
This is significant in that, as Pamela Geller put it, “You see not such reciprocity in Muslim countries. On the contrary, religious minorities are persecuted, oppressed or slaughtered.”
Yet again, foreign values are infiltrating the West as a result of mass Muslim migration. We have already seen the consequences of this throughout Europe.
One can hope that America will not continue to go down the route of Europe. Mass Muslim migration has consequences. Fortunately, President Trump is doing his part to reverse this.
Mass immigration and open borders have consequences. We must continue to press our politicians and encourage them to support deportations and end chain migration and the visa lottery.
President Trump is ending the failed open border policies of the Dems but local reps and governors must be encouraged to do the same.
Now Islamic holidays will be going alongside Columbus Day. The citizenry must remain vigilant and push back against change to the core values of America.
