Hawaii lawmakers vote to celebrate 'Islam Day'
Associated Press - 5/7/2009 7:35:00 AM

Associated Press - Hawaii's state Senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill to celebrate "Islam Day," despite the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn't think the state should honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.



The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote Wednesday. The bill was previously passed by Hawaii's House of Representatives.


The bill recognizes what it calls "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made.


But the Senate's two Republicans argued that radical Islamists cheered the 2001 attacks. They also noted that other religions didn't have a special day honored.

4. I once did a psych eval of a mugger who blamed his victim.
"What was she doin' walkin' around alone in that part of town? What did she think was gonna happen? Is it MY fault if I'm the one who saw her first?"
