Yes, Prax, but the basis for and history of these Holidays are clearly religious in nature. Look, I don't like it any more than the rest, but with the way our country is, things like that are almost ineveitable.

A group of Somali clerics want a Muslim prayer room to be built at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Airport officials say they will consider setting aside a private area for prayer and meditation since other airports have “meditation rooms” used for prayers or by passengers who simply need quiet time. (Breitbart)
If this is a meditation room for any people of any and all religions, I have no problem with it. However, if the airport builds a prayer room for Muslims ONLY, this is a step in the wrong direction. No religion should have preference over another. (emphasis mine) http://www.nowpublic.com/somali_cler...tional_airport
Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport is to construct an Islamic prayer room for the first time as part of efforts to improve relations with Muslim travellers.
For years, Muslim travellers, including Israeli Arabs, have complained that Israel's main airport, with its stringent security checks and lack of Arabic signs, has treated them poorly, and sometimes even in a humiliating fashion.
Israeli Arabs make up about 20 percent of the Jewish state's population of some 7 million people. http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1166736092.html

Re: Tyson Foods Drops Labor Day Adds Muslim Holida
The prayer rooms are already available to Islamic employees. Would a company be so accommodating if a Christian requested a prayer room??? We are told to "pray always"...I think every time the Islamic folks ask for a prayer room, the Christians should too....Or maybe they will pray in the same room. Any thoughts on this?
More comments about Tyson giving the Muslims their own holiday...If you scroll down and read the comments, you can see how upset people in the Nashville area are.
I guess they must have a lot of Muslims working for them?

Exactly.
Also don't forget that Islam is being pushed in a huge way by Saudi Arabian oil money.
Ironically much of the money we spend at the gas pump is coming back to America both in the form of Arab ownership of much of our major commercial real estate but also in the form of Islamic "evangelism".
I read in some major credible publication sometime in the last year that Saudi Arabis is spending millions upon millions of dollars to promote their version of Islam (which coindently is one of the most conservative and radical) in America.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

What's wrong Prax? Why so snippety?
Where do you get the idea that Christmas is NOT commonly "considered a Christian Holiday" among US churches? Wherever you got it, you might want to share it with them because they don't know it!
You must live farther away than Japan....

If Christians were to use the same prayer as these Muslims room, I'm sure some Muslims would protest... saying we're "defiling" their prayer room.
But indeed, if Christians were the ones who had demanded, and received a Christian prayer, I'm sure groups like the ACLU would have something to say about it.

Big time Saudi money and I would not be surprised if Iranian money is making it in somehow.
Wahabi is the most conservative and the one that supports Sharia
How about this?
NEW YORK — A Muslim group, in collaboration with a Brooklyn imam once investigated as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, paid $48,000 to run Islamic advertisements on the city's subway cars this September.
But the effort to plaster 1,000 subway cars with pro-Islamic messages has given new life to the controversy that has surrounded the radical imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who is promoting the campaign.
"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj was quoted as saying in one of his sermons. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,387701,00.html
