Probably they didn't want to congratulate believers in the religion they believe to be the greater threat.
Michelle Malkin has the details in a message from Rep. Steve King, who supplies the names:
Nine Democrats voted No – Ackerman, Clarke, DeGette, Hastings (FL), Lee, McDermott, Scott (VA), Stark and Woolsey. Nine Democrats voted Present – Conyers, Frank (MA), Holt, Payne, Schakowsky, Schwartz, Wasserman Schultz, Welch (VT) and YarmuthThis is interesting because of this group 17 of the 18 Ds above voted FOR a resolution honoring Ramadan (Lee missed the vote).
Greetings:
"All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal."
WTF should we be suprized?

Of course these resolutions mean nothing and are usually done to "draw people out" on issues, but I do find meaning in this since these baboons voted to commemorate Ramadan.
I say King should introduce another resolution commemorating the Islamic Ashoura Day and see who votes for it.
If you don't what this is, google it (after dinner).
One of these folks will be on the O'Reilly Factor this evening.
P.S. Yes, they probably would vote for Aoushura Day.
Aoushura Day (lite can view at dinner table)

No surpriseat such hypocrisy, far & away in excess of what their lunatic lackeys accuse the other side of the aisle of doing...
they're called the purveyors of political correctness over their enemy-common sense, the 5th column,

the enemy within who are as big a threat to real America as obl...because they hate their political enemies more than they love our country, and will do anything to destroy their enemies, even at the expense of our Nation.
'nuf sed.
Unfortunately, McDermott from my home state (Washington State) is on the list. McDermott's allegiance to Ramadan over Christmas is a disgrace for all Washingtonians and Americans alike.
I can not believe it. Are they doing it just for votes? Is this because of self loathing? Or is this just to show that they are above all those 'fear mongers'? Or they were afraid of being blown up when Ramadan issue came up?
Ashoura Day! Yeah, I remember seeing something about that someplace, with full color images. The one I'll never forget is a picture of a smiling fat cow of a mother, cutting her crying little boy's head with a knife. It was a huge knife. The bitch was so puckered up and smiling at the same time, her very face made me ill.
Disgusting. Revolting. Repulsive. Vile. Islam.
"...Nine Democrats voted No ..."
...Nine more just voted "present" and nineteen more just did not care enough to even vote....
...were they afraid of "Muslims?"
...Were they afraid of their committment to the people they supposedly represent?
...Were they confused about the difference between Islam and Christianity?
...Were they afraid of being outed as either a Christian Islamophobe, a religious zealot, someone who would be voted out if he did not vote as his voting base would like, or were they afraid of being labeled a "dhimmicrat" who cowers in the face of the Islamic theat?.....
....like an animal of prey...Muslims can smell fear...and so can we...just look at the votes...
....and now to play the devils advocate...21 republicans did not care enough to vote....
....as these votes on the various issues concerning anything regarding Islam or Muslims go...we become more aware of just who the leaders are and just who are really nothing more the "dhimmis"...
...A new sweatshirt design comes to mind. "Dhimmis are Dangerous"......
...quit cowering in the face of Islam...Ban Muslim Immigration.

I have been wanting to ask if the Rockefeller Christmas/Holiday tree is green for eco-friendly as they said or green for Islam?
A little town near Atlanta called Dallas has a lighted manger scene on private property and some jerk got the Washington DC group that handles these anti-dhimmi acts to threaten a lawsuit.
The city council is ignoring the letter from the lawyers and a spokesman said with a big grin that the city council would handle it during their next meeting....in January!
Rep. Steve King (R) Iowa's 5th Dist., has never let me down. I am proud to call him my State Rep. I have contacted him many, many times about issues of concern to me, and he has never failed to reply, nor has he ever disappointed me in his responses. A true conservative with his finger unwaiveringly on the pulse of his constituency, he will get my full support as long as he seeks to serve the public.
I was glad to see that both my Reps which I can say have not been supportive of many of my issues in the past actually vote in favor of the resolution.
There maybe hope for them after all.
Rep. Steve King should be on the short list for American anti-dhimmi of the year.
With representatives like these, who needs enemies. I believe it was Lenin that coined the term for people like these 18 "legislators": Usefull Idiots!
These resolutions are all a waste of time. Are any Muslim or Christian not going to celebrate their respective holidays because of a vote in these vapid resolutions?
