This, my friends, is troubling – and not because of the fact that it honoring the faith of those responsible for 9/11, but because it is setting aside a day to honor any faith.
Hawaii’s state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate “Islam Day” _ over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn’t want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001. …The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House. The bill seeks to recognize “the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions” that Islam and the Islamic world have made.
Now hold on – will there be a Judaism Day? How about a Christianity Day? Buddhism Day? Scientology Day? Jedi Knight Day (hey – the British recognize Jedi Knights as a religion for census purposes)? And where are the usual crew of secularists raising a red flag over this state recognition of religion?

Comments on Islam Day?
Haha I am muslim which means,(those who submit to the will of God). Now don't forget the K.K.K called themselves,"Good white christians". Now aren't they terrorist? You know most religions have their extreemist that goes directly against the book they claim, which are called "hipocrites"! That is simple ignorance that we simply can't ignore. People kill me when they pass judgement on something they have no knowledge on. God said in the quran that the more they try to distinquish his light the bright his light get! So 9/11 blaimed on islam caused islam to grow. So the more you talk about islam good or bad the more people revert cool huh? The question is why?
