Wonkette's Sara K. Smith notes that the state legislature in Hawaii has just passed a resolution, by a vote of 22-3, that will "proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day."
Greater Wingnuttia, you'll be amazed to hear, ignores this:
The resolution does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.
... and immediately wets the collective bed.
Atlas Shrieks begins:
"ISLAM DAY" PASSES IN HAWAII
I can't tell you what those folks are thinking, but why September 24th? Why not September 11th?
She goes on to wonder why there is no "Christian Day," apparently forgetting about, uh, Christmas, for example?
Stop The ACLU decorates their post with the Danish cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb in his turban and begins:
Hawaii Goes Dhimmi, Creates Islam Day
This couldn't have anything to do with the rumors that Barack Obama is a closet Muslim, could it?
And it's not just wingnut bloggers. From Fox News's report:
"I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue -- same-sex civil unions.
[...]
... Republican Sen. Sam Slom argued that the United States has become too sympathetic toward Islamic extremists.
"I don't think there's any country in the history of the world that has been more tolerant than the United States of America, and because of that tolerance, we've looked the other way a lot of times, and many thousands of our citizens have been killed by terrorists," said Slom, a Republican.
One of the RedState Trike Force asks:
Does anyone else think this is scary?
... and:
Why in the world would we bow to them (oh yeah our pres already did that) and cater to their whims?
... and has a sentence of sanity before losing it again:
Now I realize that not every Muslim is a terrorist. But the infiltration is slow and quiet just like they’ve done in other countries.
Greg Hengler at Clownhall apparently has nothing to say -- he just copies and pastes part of the Fox News article -- but maybe he thinks the old "worth a thousand words" idea applies:
Woooo! Scary!
