Eid al-Fitr

Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid al-Fitr, a three-day holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.Observers of Islam in Egypt, Syria and several other Arab countries started marking the holiday Tuesday by crowding into mosques for prayers.

Muslims in several non-Arab countries, including Russia and Turkey, also began Eid celebrations Tuesday.

Religious authorities in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's holiest sites, started the celebrations in their country Monday. They said the new moon had been sighted and proclaimed that Ramadan ended Monday, with the Eid feast to begin the next day.Eid al-Fitr celebrates the purification achieved during Ramadan — a month of sunrise-to-sunset fasting, one of the five pillars of Islam

They are all infidels and should burn in hell

Anon -- this is very close to being over the line. Regardless, Muslims are certainly not infidels; quite the reverse. I do not share their faith but I respect it and gosh, the strength of conviction that is needed to fast through Ramadan! That is a model of willpower for everyone. As for burning in Hell, well, I rather like the current Pope's position (read his recent encyclicals - which I, a non-Catholic, have done and found most rewarding) that more or less abolishes the concept as traditionally understood.

With the cultural Marxist's destroying this very country the French, natives and English built, we will no doubt have Sharia Law in our neighborhoods before the end of the decade.

It would appear as if Anonymous either doesn't read or, as is more likely the case, chooses to ignore good advice. Furthermore, Anonymous, is fortunate that he/she lives in a country that has the "right" to spew hate!

I do hate cultural Marxists and I also hate the One World Government our Marxists are marching us towards.

Do I fear what this country is going to look like in 25 years?

You're damn right I do.

The top anon is different than the others.

I know. I'm the guy.

Cultural Marxism and One World governmnet without the okay of the cattle is not good.

It’s an extremist ideology to try and completely alter the demographic makeup of your own country and to render your compatriots a minority. And it’s extremely undemocratic to make such a decision without first consulting the national populace.

To this day I have not met anyone who agrees with our immigration policy. Not one.

Yet somehow I will be a minority in my own country within my lifetime and that's disgrace.

I guess it depends on how you define minority. I imagine the Cree felt the same way. They were right.

There is only one way to describe it and it's not good.
