Muslims want Islamic holidays recognised
Sydney-based Muslim community spokesman Keysar Trad said workers of all faiths were entitled to a break and called for the two main Muslim public holidays to be recognised as well.
"It does give the impression that we are a solely Christian nation and it raises the issue of other religions too, whether you are Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim," he told AAP on Saturday
Gimmi a break!

Any test should include local customs, treatment of women, freedom of speech, freedom of religion (and its responsibilities), how women and children are treated, food and clothing, how our democracy works, attitudes to money (leave the corruption and bribery behind) etc, etc.
Asking who was the first PM is a useless and easily parroted question which has no influence on current behaviour or lifestyles..
Spot on Pardelope
But these Islamic holidays will not happen here.
There is not enough muslims in Aussie for that to carry any weight to make it happen.
Therefore it is a non-event.

At the moment you are probably right fwed but the day may come when larger numbers of these people demonstrate in public for their demands ............we will be hard put to stop them if this happens .........clay
