Islamic groups in the US fear an overlap between the end of Ramadan and the anniversary of 9/11 will lead to criticisms that Muslims are celebrating the 2001 terrorist attacks. (guardian.co.uk)

It should fall on September 10 for most places so hopefully things are fine.
On a side note. Yes, this is a stupid tradition. Yes, it is a stupid religion. Yes, it was a tragic event. Does that mean that they need to adjust their stupid ideas around the tragic event? Example, I get up every morning and read the newspaper. It's a stupid tradition. There is nothing useful in a newspaper. It's not even entertaining. It is something I do as a personal tradition. If someone was brutally murdered by an early morning newspaper reader or for whatever reason early morning newspaper reading became associated with something bad, would you expect me to give up my habit? Would you be angry with me if I kept up my habit. It is my ritual and there is no reason you can expect me to give it up for some newborn taboo. Example 2, in mandarin there is a word that is very similar to the n word. Would you be unhappy with chinese people continuing to use that word despite all the shit that is associated with that word?
tldr: stupid rituals are a right. If their intention is not to insult, it is not an insult.

Americans Against Hate must be an ironic title.

Let Muslims celebrate their holiday in peace. Let people still grieving from the events of 9-11 mourn in peace.
For the trouble makers on either side. Hit em' with trouble right back.

The easiest and best solution is for the Muslims to simply move the date of Ramadan.
Yes they have a legal and Constitutional right to celebrate Ramadan whenever they want, but just like Ground Zero mosque issue, it wouldn't hurt them to show some sensitivity about 9/11.

Muslims are retards, news at 11. Next time, they should coordinate their attacks better with their silly calendar.

I don't know what part of this stupid post to correct first...
[–]NuclearWookie -4 points-3 points-2 points 1 year ago
You could start with details about how worshiping a rock five times a day jives with abhorring idolatry. Or how an uncorrected lunar calendar has any merit whatsoever.
