California May Add 2 Muslim State Holidays While Christians Have Only One

Islamization is always disguised as tolerance, but the agenda quickly shows through the facade of tolerance.

A California Democratic lawmaker introduced legislation last week that would recognize two Muslim holidays as official state holidays.

AB 2017 would designate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays, a move that Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco) said would guarantee Muslims in California are “seen, valued and treated with the same dignity as every other community in our state,” according to FOX 11.

The lawmaker said the California Muslim community is one largest in the country, yet they do not have major holidays recognized by the state in the way other religions do — like Christmas or Easter.

California only lists the following as state holidays.

Thursday, January 1 New Year’s Day
Monday, January 19 Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Monday, February 16 Presidents’ Day
Tuesday, March 31 Cesar Chavez Day
Monday, May 25 Memorial Day
Saturday, July 4 Independence Day
Monday, September 7 Labor Day
Wednesday, November 11 Veterans Day
Thursday, November 26 Thanksgiving Day
Friday, November 27 Day after Thanksgiving
Friday, December 25 Christmas Day

The only Christian holiday on the list is Christmas. Easter isn’t on there. Nor is any other religion’s holiday.

Adding two Muslim holidays would mean more Muslim holidays on the California state calendar than Christian holidays and would make Islam superior to Christianity in law.

And that is the goal.

It’s not about tolerance, it’s about superiority.
