So apparently this INSANE politician in Germany proposed to replace the christian holiday of Easter Monday with a muslim holiday. Yes, REPLACE.
Seriously, I have no problems with muslims as long as they at least try to conform to the society in which they live or move into. I have a couple of muslim friends in Canada that respect christian beliefs and don't try to push their beliefs on me...
But what I hate about them is that if you tried to practice christianity in a country like Saudi Arabia you could get arrested or executed, while they have the freedom to travel to christian countries and build mosques and try to convert christian holidays to muslim ones.Am I alone in thinking that this is all VERY f*cked up???

Is this the Muslims losing their hair thread?

don't worry, there is a huge christian coalition crusade working on it in the middle east as we speak
I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think a radical propsal like that would get approved, especially not now, what with all the paranoia and all. Enjoy your easter monday. Me, I am going to get shitfaced as usual.

Couldn't there be like two holidays on the same day. Aren't we all happy then?
I thought that germany was giving up holidays because of their financial state. It's either that or loosing jobs.
And all this looks like another "Let's point out the differences between cultures instead of looking what they have in common" point of view.

Im sorry, but I believe religion in general is already fucked up.
Think about it, if it wasn't for religion, there will be no war.
Relgion is there to tell you what to do and how to do it right, to put you down for not doing it right and to critcize the "ridicuolous beliefs" that other religions follows.
and this is is coming from an EX catholic, went to catolic school when I was a kid (if you did too, you will understand why I gave up on religion).
peace

Its far too early to be having this conversation....

I agree with the statement that religion is a cause of war, but I also agree that war would exist anyways even without religion.
Religion, I believe, does NOT exist for the purposes of criticizing the beliefs of other religions. Or at least not in the case of Christianity, as I am not as familiar with Judaism or Islam. Religion *should* give us something positive to believe in, and should guide us to resolve our differences rather than criticize and start wars.
Anyways I just think the muslim religion is ridiculously hypocritical, being that if you were a christian in a muslim country you will be punished, and if you're a muslim in a christian country you can do whatever you want.
Of course, nobody has the balls to say anything about it anymore because they're all afraid of being labelled a "Nazi." But before you go and call me a racist, look at what the radicals in the middle east are doing: capturing reporters, tourists, and working persons and slicing their heads off because they are on muslim ground. If we cut the heads of muslims that are in "non-muslim" countries, it would be considered barbaric but these "crusaders" are heros in their countries.
Once again, how f*cked up is that???

not all muslims are cutting heads off.....most of them are actually nice people......
chill out....its nearly christmas...
