Happy Holidays


Fact: Hanukkah ends Dec 19. Kwanzaa starts the 26th, Bodhi Day was on Dec 6th. Hijra was on the 18. Yule will be on the 21st.
This is why I usually say "Happy holidays" as a standard personal salutation this time of year. Its an expression of my desire for the person receiving my greeting...I want you to have a happy holiday season.
 



No matter what holiday your celebrating or if no holiday is celebrated, I genuinely want you to have a happy time this season. Really. I do.

In our culture it has become a season where people of all beliefs and unbelief’s take a break from work and school, spend a bit more time with the family and friends, exchange gifts to express love for one another, and it’s just a joyous time for people no matter the religion or non-religion. I like that.
 So Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas or Joyous Yule or Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa or Happy Rohatsu.

We are all Infidels

"Opinions are like assholes and everybody's got one". Love how the lyrics of Salt and Pepper test the stand of time.

My opinion is the Muslim religion and culture is just like any another religion.It has its good points and it has its bad points. It has instructions on what one should or should not do. Among the practicing their are people who justify all that they do good and bad on said religion.

From the Christian holy wars to 9/11 many horrible human atrocities have been done all in the name of religion. For any who ask questions or make observations that may upset the normal order of things are prosecuted.

I do wonder if any who scream injustices and death have bothered to read her books. Though it seems to be much easier to scream in ignorance then in education.
