German Muslims want official Muslim holidays in Germany

[S_O_C_O_M]

there are Christian, Jewish holidays in U.S. but not Muslim.

 

[A.Rafay]

This is their right under religious freedom!

 

[illusion8]

Are they demanding whole of Germany go on an official holiday for Muslim holidays? or just for themselves?

 

[Koovie]

Correct demand..............

In India we have holidays for Diwali, Holi, bakri id, ramazan id, and christmas and good friday, while rest are in names of leaders or country

Infact we have too many holidays as compared to other nations........

You cannot compare it with Germany. India is multi ethnic, multi religious etc.. pretty much multi everything. Germany on the other hand has been shaped by western culture and Christianity for centuries... but in the end its the Germans call.

That is called religious tolerance, sure you would not have heard much about it. I suggest you read up.

sure.. tolerance, which may lead to massacre of Muslims, in exchange of an animal!

bakr means cow!

How can you have bakr id, without sacrificing cow in the name of Allah?

Illusions of religous freedom....

You can kills cows in most Indian states. Just had delicious beef today.

Pakistan is not a secular country ... but holidays are given to non muslims on their holidays..

Neither Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or any other religion.

So??

 

[Safriz]

They are migrants, not local population. So they should accept traditions and laws of country they migrate to.

not really...
most are second or third generation,born and bred in Germany....

No they are citizens of germany and have german nationality...

That does not change the fact that they are migrants and not the indigenous population.

Bakr is pronounced Baa-K-er †. Bakr's origin is English and Arabic, and its use, Arabic. From Arabic roots, its meaning is 'young camel'.

Bakr - Meaning of Bakr, What does Bakr mean?

So sad to see that "Pakistani Arabs" are taught a different meaning of Bakr-id!!

@topic
First demand will come for Muslim holidays, then Muslim laws and in the end a holy struggle for Muslim rule..

Neither is Germany..it is ,what's called an "ambiguous state".

Are jews indigenous to america or germany?yet jewish holidays are observed in most of their host countries... so why not muslim holidays? discrimination or hypocrisy?

Does German Nationality differentiate between the 'rights' & 'obligations' of a native vs an immigrant ?
