Another triumph for Islamic supremacism, despite the fact the Jews outnumber Muslims in Philly almost to two to one. Astonishing.
Philadelphia’s Mayor Jim Kenney suggested a different standard in announcing the city’s decision to close public schools for Muslim holidays. Rather than focusing on practical need, Kenney explained: “Our city was built on the idea that … the city welcomes all to worship and practice the faiths of our culture or our choosing[.] … We have to take into account how society sometimes ostracizes and eliminates people from the mainstream[.]” In other words, schools should close on minorities’ religious holidays so that their adherents feel accepted.
Philly Schools Add Muslim Holidays by Cutting Jewish One

yah, I heard they are planning a “National Pole Smoker’s Week” next, oh, wait….
I’m waiting for National Pedophile Day!
The Jews vote, and fund the Left (Democrats) so they get what they asked for. I’m sure they approve.
LOL THA WYTS ON HEAH SO BITTER YOU CAN TELL MOST OF EM NEVER GET ANY
THEY BLUE BALLED AF
Get out, schvatz!
LoL! I imagine you sound like Jethroe from the Beverley hillbillies.
Y’all come back Now!
This is ridiculous.
It should work both ways then? Let only MOSLEMS celebrate their OWN holy days. They don’t have to show up for school.
If your school officials don’t agree, then they are committing treason on you.
Philadelphia, city of brotherly love unless you are Jewish.
Philadelphia, city of gross hypocrisy |hiˈpäkrisē|
noun (pl. hypocrisies)
the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.
Philadelphia, Anti Semitic capital of the USA.
Philadelphia, bigotry demonstrated for all to see.
Philadelphia, surrendered to Islam without a shot being fired.
Philadelphia, TRAITOR!
The idiot should try reading the koran and then maybe he’d realise it isn’t quite the sweet minority religion that he thinks it is.
F them..soon have national jihad day..bring your bomb to school for show and tell
Muslims keep chipping away. They are tenacious.
Philadelphia is a lost cause. It’s now 70% black and lots of disenfranchised blacks convert to it. The Mayor is totally nuts!
The Africans of America who convert to Islam are a disgrace to their ancestors (including the Berbers subjugated by the Arabs) and the millions of Africans in Africa today, who suffer every week from Muslim terrorism such as from Boko Haram.
Not necessarily so. The African slavers who captured their countrymen and sold them into slavery were by and large muslims. But the liberals of today do not blame those who captured the people for slavery; they blame those who owned slaves, even though the Koran not only permits slavery, it encourages it. Oh, but those weren’t muslim slave owners, so that is why they can denounce them so loudly.
…and it is very confusing to me when American Blacks convert to Islam…..apparently they don’t know that in Arabic the word “black” converts to “slaves”…..from the frying pan into the fire….
The ignorance and racism of so many black Americans is appalling, but then, if you neglect your education this is what a group gets, hoards of ignorant people who gravitate to trash.
MohaMad called them “Raisin Heads” arab muzrats are classic racists, and I never use that word lightly. (Unlike the lefty’s)
I have to agree with you. It is insanity, but it is what it is.
Abed or Ibed.
When George Patton was in N. Africa fighting the Vichy French he was feted by a Moroccan Berber sultan who owned a harem of sex slaves. When one of the Sultan’s panthers got out and killed a sex slave and interrupted a dinner party in Patton’s honor, the Sultan explained it was of no consequence she was just a slave and the dinner party continued.
WOW!
Muslim have a plan and goal, the dominance of sharia everywhere, while the West has lost its way, largely believes in nothing, doesn’t teach about democracy, doesn’t extol the virtues of Western civilization – oh dear that would be ‘racist’ – and through political correctness is gripped by notions of ‘tolerance’, ‘acceptance’, ‘diversity’, ‘inclusion’ – but doesn’t possess the guts to insist that its beliefs and ways be accepted. Why? Because like most Canadians they don’t believe in ‘anything much anymore’ and thus pretty much everything is acceptable and must be tolerated – no matter how disagreeable. And it it seems disagreeable, for the sake of political correctness tolerance, convince yourself that it is okay. This attitude is to cowardly mush, but then, that is what liberals are all about, empty-headed and cowardly mush.
When did you take your last survey of “most Canadians”?
MANY of the Phila schools are dominated by blacks and MANY have MUSLIM principals and teachers. The majority of schools have the MSA, Muslim Student Association. Try having a Christian or a Jewish after school club. It it’s the same old story. They take over the CITIES first and spread out. Look at London in the UK.
….this is just another example of how Swamp Sissy Sessions is falling down on the job…as he has since the day after he was sworn in…..Fire him, President Trump and put Jay Sekulow in there….it’s time to clean house!
Also fire, the MIA Sec of Education, Becky DeVos….who has done ZERO in cleaning up the schools…..
Most liberals prefer Muslims over Jews.
Most conservatives prefer Jews over Muslims.
The two are as different as day and night…
Because they ARE the difference between the light of good and the dark of terror. Jews do not advocate the killing of muslims as much as the muslims advocate the killing of everyone.
Because Conservatives and Jews share a common religion and heritage….It’s called the Constitution….formed on Judeo/Christian beliefs…..sad that so many Jewish progressives and Globalist have forgotten that….
The Left Libtards identify more with the Fascism and brutality of Islam….as we see so often in the news now….
I am heartened by the once very strong Democrat-Alan Dershowitz -who has stood up against the rabid Libtards and called them out…
there are at least some highly visible Dimms calling out their own.
Agreed, Alan Dershowitz to his credit has been a revelation.
I would say it is hard to believe this crap but the left is capable of anything. Islam is their tool to create chaos and out of chaos comes order the NWO.
Bingo! You got it. And do you remember who is fond of saying that? Barrack Hussein Obama: “In Chaos there is Opportunity.” him and his buddy, Rahm Emanuel.
And another favorite of mine from the Muslim Marxist Obama:”They bring a knife to a fight, you bring a gun.”
Be careful what you wish for, Obummer, you just might get your wish.
Philadelphia is becoming Sharia compliant as it bows to Islam. No longer loyal to America or the Constitution.
There isn’t enough money on the planet to pay me to go anywhere near the North East or the Left Coast….no tourism for me in any of those places….
Good article. Don’t these idiots realize that the Muslim lunar calendar is NOT interpolated by any leap days or months to keep it in line with the solar year, so their gerrymandering of the start and end days of school is NOT a permanent solution? The various Muslim holidays occur a couple of weeks earlier each year, until they go completely around the calendar and start over again. In other words, the feast ending Ramadan can coincide with Memorial Day, and it can also coincide with Christmas, or it could come right in the middle of Finals Week.
The article points out the correct and legal basis on which school holidays should be set. Philly blew it on this one. We had a similar argument in my locality because many (if not a majority) of public school teachers were Jewish and would take off Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur, so those were made official holidays, along with Christmas, when most of the students would be absent (Easter always falls on a Sunday, so, no problem.) Pressure from a growing Muslim population eventually led the school authorities to add a Muslim holiday to the calendar and remove one of the days of Rosh Hashonah. Even though the real reason for the holiday was widely stated during the debate, it was not widely UNDERSTOOD (or accepted) by either the vocal Muslim contingent pushing for a new holiday, or their supporters in the (very liberal) local community.
Most Jewish kids around here whose families actually care about observing the required Jewish holidays of rest are already enrolled in Jewish schools, anyway. Otherwise they would be taking personal days off, and missing class, during Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Simchat Torah, Passover, and Shevuot.
You still have the issue of the teachers. As a matter of practicality, could the schools function on the days of Rosh Hashanah when teachers who are Jewish would take off because of religious observance?
In my area, most of the Jewish teachers are either Reform or unaffiliated, and their synagogues (if they belong to any) only have Rosh Hashonah last one day, anyway. While there may be a few strictly-observant Jewish teachers in the public schools, not enough to make it hard to find sufficient substitute teachers, so not enough to disrupt class by their absence.
Dum-dum-dum Another one bites the dust ooh-ooh, dum-dum-dum..and another one gone, and another one gone..
The outrage should be over eliminating Rosh Hashanah. If that happened in NYC, there would be a riot.
City of brotherly love I guess they forgot who blew up the Twin Towers !
The democrats all seem to be under some kind of mass hypnosis regarding muzums. Europe leaders are the same way. It boggles my mind. Its like Saul who was blinded and could not see till the scales fell from his eyes. Bu the demos brains are infected. I don’t get it. I did not rust them when I was 19m years old when i was in North Africa back in the early 70’s. Those people are creepy.
How many of the muslims are actually citizens of the US? Are we changing our holidays for refugees?
