Do you not take Christmas and Thanksgiving off from work just like all the christians? If the issue is being paid for the holiday, then whether it's religious or not in nature is kind of a moot point no?

*ducks incoming*

Well, I try and work them because they are worth more money. But I am kind of a greedy fug. 

Pretty perturbed about not getting anything but ST for today. But, this contract has already lasted longer than I expected.

Eid Mubarak! 

Strangely, between the time this thread was made and now, I said the Shahada and converted to Islam (in June). Very excited for my first Eid, although I have so much to learn.

 

Congratulations and welcome to Islam. Send me a DM if you have any questions or I can help in any way.  Salaam (Peace)

Eid Al Adha Mubarak

Oy vay.  

The Islamic folks I've known in life have been extremely pleasant and delightful to engage.

I also find this thread to be clear trolling, hoping to fire up some redneck racist.  Looks like it's failing, thankfully.  Get a life.

I think you’re projecting your own insecurities. As a Muslim, I don’t need to think twice about wishing happy Eid to other Muslim Americans and Panthers fans.  I actually expected people who don’t celebrate Eid to simply ignore and move on, or wish their neighbors of Islamic faith a happy Eid.  :)

Strangest bump ever?

Sesame Street Idk GIF

July 30th - 31st was Eid al-Adha

Considering this thread title is Happy Eid (which is the equivalent of "Happy holiday/festival/celebration!!" as there is also Eid al-Fitr), there is nothing strange about it.

I'd love to believe that is true, but I think it's more than likely bullsh*t, considering everyone on this forum spends their days trying to start political war, and this just has the feel of it.

I sincerely hope all people enjoy all of their holidays, but this whole post has a "keep Christ in Christmas" type of feel.

I have good news: No one is trying to troll you here; NAS was just trying to spread knowledge. One says "Happy Eid" or "Eid Mubarak" (or a variation based on which Eid it is) to a Muslim just as one says "Merry Christmas" to a Christian. Heck, when I lived in a heavily Jewish town back when, I said "Shanah Tovah". It's just respect. Of course, if your beliefs prohibit you from saying it (because it glorifies another religion etc.), sure, fine, but otherwise it's just decency and neighborliness. In a world where people mass-murder each other in houses of worship, small gestures of respect and kindness are a meaningful thing.

In my very short life so far as a convert, I've already met fellow believers who are Panthers fans - some casual and a few hardcore. There are plenty of people out there whose day could be brightened a little bit by your acknowledgement and respect.

This thread was also started during the absolute height of trolling and jackassery on this board so, unfortunately, something normally so benign seems suspicious on here. Had that happened in real life(and it has to me in the Middle East), I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

This forum was/is just a sewer of trolls of varying species.
