ISLAM DAY IN HAWAII

In Hawaii the State Senate passed a bill on Wednesday to celebrate Islam Day over the objections of a few lawmakers who said that they did not want to honor a religion connected with September 11. The resolution proclaiming September 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate 22-3 vote. the bill seeks to recognize the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions the Islam and the Islamic world have made. There is no Christianity Day in Hawaii though the state does designate "Good Friday" as a government holiday, which courts have ruled was primarily proposed to increase the frequency of legal holidays. Finally, where is the ACLU and Barry Lynn talking about the separation of Church and State. I forgot they only hate Christians.
