Like Atifsajid and Sledlude have been saying. You are on a roll sir, watch where you end up. You are making ridiculous claims based on the actions shown by one of the most American institution's there is, a Labor Union, democracy in the work place. So what if they want to celebrate Eid instead of Labor Day? The Tyson workers elected boad-members of the Union and now they are doing what they feel is right and moral within their power. You are telling me American ways are being lost because of this? You're crazy. While I agree it is BS that Labor Day isn't being celebrated, does it really matter? No one does sh.it for Labor Day anyways, the amount of money that moves in this country during Eid, you'd be surprised.

Islam is just like every other religion, would you not be mad if you had to work on Christmas or your respective major religious holiday? What you say is completely uncalled for and childish. While I agree Labor Day should not have been replaced but merely Eid should have been added on, perhaps they should have cut out some other holiday instead..like Columbus Day, who the hell celebrates that BS anyhow?

Motivation: Please tell me you honestly believe "Winter Holiday" didn't start out because Christmas happened to be on Dec. 25 and I will have the laughing fit of my life. Look at this list of National Holidays:

Check the one under Dec. 25. Damn Christian's taken over America. "Where is my passport?"
