What did they eat at their Ramadan lunch table? But anyway, they got one, while Catholic students did not get one for Lent. I think both are a bit silly, for different reasons: the Muslims aren't eating lunch at all, and the Catholics, unless they're serious-minded Eastern Catholics, probably aren't observing Lent in a way that sets them off from the rest of the student body. It's all just identity politics, with a tincture of Islamic supremacism. Still, if they're going to grant it to one group, they should grant it to the other. "School accused of favoring Muslim students," from UPI, May 7 (thanks to Twostellas):
TINLEY PARK, Ill., May 7 (UPI) -- A suburban Chicago school district has put cultural diversity on its meeting agenda after a complaint that Muslim students received preferential treatment.The principal at Prairie View Middle School allowed a group of Muslim students to have a separate lunch table to accommodate religious observances during the month of Ramadan, but rejected a similar request by Catholic students for Lent, The Chicago Daily Southtown reported Wednesday.
"It's not just about the table," said Jennifer Cimaglia, a Tinley Park mother of three. "It appears that there is preferential treatment for Muslim students."...

Well, if it's only for Ramadan, then they can serve trays of empty plates, and glasses filled with air. As "good" moslems they are supposed to fast during daylight. Onjly question is: "how much to charge" for such meals.

This has nothing to do with dhimmitude or islam:
I'm wondering in what way (Robert refers to it) "Eastern Catholics" are Catholic at all?
They say "Pope" one time during the Great Entrance? If you feel comfortable answering, Robert, please do.
I don't get it, they disagree with the same changes that Rome has made throughout the years as the Eastern Orthodox do. It confounds me --- and seems entirely political. Why would you want to be part of that? It seems closer to (dare I say) ... islamic. That's not a shot, just a point. What say you guys?

"During Ramadan why would Muslim students be in the lunchroom at all?"
From a posting above
Take that a step further.
From this clueless SouthTown Star editorial:
http://www.southtownstar.com/news/opinion/editorials/938218,050808edit.article
Ramadan, Lenten fasts are two different things
"Martin probably thought he was being considerate when he allowed Muslim students, fasting for Ramadan, to sit at a table separate from their lunching friends. Anyone who's undertaken a fast knows going without food for 11 or 12 hours is not an easy feat, and to do it for many consecutive days is even tougher. Now try doing so in a room full of people tossing down ham sandwiches and Doritos and cookies."
Given that such unclean sandwiches are consumed in the cafeteria by 'the unbelievers', and that such sinful behavior would certainly be seen by Muslim children--a subset of 'the best of peoples'--shouldn't they be eating, or fasting, in their own cafeteria all year long?
Better safe than sorry, you know.
And, hey, so long as they'd be pretty much out of sight there, perhaps an Imam could lead them in prayer, too.
Creeping. Creeping. Ever so slowly creeping shari'a.

Preferential treatment for Muslim students??
Tell me it ain't so...A private table is not so much, wait till they demand private foot baths, and a special school room to pray in...

I say you don't have to be anti-eastern rite catholic in order to be anti jihadist. Ruthinian, Greek and Maronite Catholics are all under the jurisdiction of the Pope.
About 30 years ago my mother was the church secretary at our local Roman Catholic parish. She got into a fight with the pastor, so our entire family joined a Ruthinian Rite Church. The liturgies of Saints Basil & John Chrysostom swung back and forth between Old Slavonic and English. I loved the chanting of the Prayer of the Heart.
But, (sigh) "heart" is often lacking in this forum.
I often ask myself, "After these people are done expelling Muslims, who's next on their list?"
Thank you for answering my question.

To whom are you referring with "these people?"
This site is dedicated to raising awareness of and stopping the jihad and its goal of imposing sharia law. There is no "list," hidden agenda, etc. That should be obvious.

They are lucky that no Jewish parent or child demanded that bread not to be served during Passover. Ah the memories of taking matzot to school and watching my Christian friends with envy eat their sandwiches. It was cruel.

Sorry, Marisol. I was referring to some of those who post comments here, not to the operators of the site, who are generally fair-minded, if occasionally snarky. I’m also still reeling from Hugh’s suggestion a while back that America establish procedures for Muslim expulsion. To me, that would come all to close to becoming our enemy in order to defeat him. Once we grant the government such power, it would be hard to revoke it.
Trust me I get it. The Jihad is pernicious. With all the better angels of our nature, we must work against it. I just believe that American dreams of expulsion, getting off on a thousand and one insulting puns, and speculating on what Christians most resemble Muslims are all counterproductive actions.
Gotta admit, I and my better angels are saving our best assimilationist arguments for the publication of Reza Aslan’s new book. Currently, I’m reading the meanbadandhorrible Tarek Fatah’s “Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State”. It kinda reads like a strange cross between Robert Fisk and Ibn Wariq. Tarek makes much sense when he isn’t ranting.

Not so cruel, Mystical. I was the kid who traded your Matzoh for my cream cheese and jelly on raisin bread. I was also the local shabbas-goy who was rewarded with heavenly pastries for flicking on the switches in your house on High Holy Days.

Ok. So it's the "rev" WRONG's Chicago now. I wonder at whose table he'll be dining...
Somehow I don't think he'll be sitting with those "garlic-nosed" Italians.
I'd like to ask this "man of G-d" about MY nose.
I'm a German who has an Italian Nonna cara.. WHAt exactly does that make MY nose?
I know for MY nonna's sake I'd love to PUNCH him on his garlic-free naso, stronzo Wright.
As opposed to the new-age fraud Obama I'd never think of throwing my nonna - who always sent me giocattoli and biscotti - and she loved to tweak my young cheeks to the point of torture but it was meant out of her love for me - I KNOW ONE THING HERR Obama.. I would NEVER throw my Nonna under the bus like you threw yours!

I ask you, dear Dhimmiwatch readers.. would you vote for a man who sells out his own grandmother?
I'd rather vote for a used car salesman sight unseen.
Call me a racist if you must but that's the way I see it. And yes, I do get emotional when it comes to grandmothers.
That man should have been finished the very day he did that. And it wasn't even true what he said by all accounts.
Why is he getting away with this stuff?
Well, I predict he can kiss the "I love my granny vote" goodbye.

Don't you think that "expelling" our sworn enemies would be preferable to locking them up in isolated compounds to prevent them from fully practicing their religion by engaging in violent jihad? Apparently you consider the idea of "expulsion" akin to "illegal" wiretapping and intercepting communications between domestic and overseas terrorists; abhorrent violations of the Constitutional rights of islamic terrorists who happen to be American citizens. And of course we all know that if the federal government is permitted to trample all over the constitutional rights of treasonous, terrorist muslims, martial law and tyranny are imminent. No problem; we don't mind getting blown to bits so muslims can perfidiously exploit the First Amendment, which guarantees rights that are anathematized by islam.
Nothing like islam has ever threatened America before; the closest comparison might be Japanese Americans during WWII. The threat posed by islam and muslims is unique, unprecedented, and grossly understated. But don't despair; we both know that the expulsion of jihadist muslims is a very remote, albeit tantalizing, prospect. It is quite obvious that the mendacious, malevolent, perfidious imams and apologist, pseudo-scholars of islam have our government's ear and the American people are being fed to the wolves so muslims can feel good about themselves, not that they have ever had any low self-esteem issues. Problem is, they don't just want to feel good about themselves, they intend to dictate how non-muslims will perceive islam and if that ploy fails, they will manipulate and exploit the same First Amendment that allows them to practice their vile religion to dictate what we can say about it. And you're worried about Big Brother taking away your rights?!
Not only would I applaud the expulsion of every muslim with questionable loyalty to America or with overt jihadist ambitions, nothing would thrill me more than to see bulldozers razing mosques across America as their sullen, evil Wahabbi imams were being escorted to airports with one-way tickets to the dysfunctional kingdom of sadistic savages, aka Saudi Arabia. This scenario is one of my favorite daydreams but I have no illusions that a rational and salutary approach to our deadly dilemma will ever occur, at least not until they succeed in annihilating millions of us. In the interim, the stealth jihad marches on and scores a new victory every day.
I loathe islam with all my heart and soul and I could never trust a muslim but I wish muslims no harm; I just wish they would go away. They are not worth the anxiety, fear, and unrelenting threat they pose by virtue of their malevolent, insidious religion. Who needs it?

Wouldnt it be more meaningful a display of their faith and willpower and devotion to sit with those eating and NOT eat?
A fast made easy is hardly serious.
Let the Mohammedans suck it up and not bother others with their own silly daytime 'fasting' nightime gorging superstition.
If they don't want to eat, not one is forcing them to eat.
Show some strength of character and shut up and read a schoolbook.

Ramadan is a fast made easy - they fast during the daylight and gorge themselves during the nighttime. Which is why they gain weight.

One question: at what age is a Moslem expected to begin observing the daylight fast during Ramadan? I'm pretty sure that small children are exempt. But this involves a middle school, which means 12- to 14-year-olds -- is that old enough?

Dear Mr. Spencer: You know I wish to tell Palamas and Skevin, as a Roman Catholic who at 52 remembers a REAL lenten fast and abstinence regimen, I can understand your comment vis a vis Latin Rite Catholics no longer observing much if any discipline and denial during Lent. My best pal is a devout Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic and I know the Eastern rites were spared much of the Post Vatican II silliness and experimentation that gutted the Western Catholics' rituals and observances. Once again I urge you as a Melkite or Maronite to watch and pray for this current Pope. Dear Pope Benny 16 is steering that barque of Peter and bringing it about. The young people are enthusiastic about regaining their heritage in the Mass, the chants, the Rosary and other rituals the Father Flakes and Sister Sunshine-Moonbeams threw overboard during the 60's and 70's.
As to Tinley Park, Illinois I am not surprised its principal would go for these demands for a separate lunch table. Most of my Catholic friends are absolutely clueless as to Islamic teachings and history.
In fairness, the fasting students of any religion could easily be accomodated with a study hall during their lunch period where multiplication tables, spelling drills and reading assignments can profit their minds while their self-imposed discipline profits their souls.

bevc,
What did you wish to say? I'm fully aware that the [catholic] traditions of old have gone away. I'm as sorrowful for that as you are --- and that's my point --- "Wisdom is justified by her children."
Isn't that what this site is about (or foolishness/wickedness is justified by its children)???
skevin,
I'm not sure what you're reading into or getting at, I was asking a question that may have been challenging but was nowhere near violent/angry/or with mal-intent. It's been curious to me why for so long people maintain they are catholic when they are more likely the product of a political refuge of eastern christianity. Make no mistake about it, the proof is in the pudding --- much has changed in the west (in politics and christianity) and like the above, the sorrowful nature of it has corroborated my curiosity.
You acted like I was coming after someone. I was really asking a tough question, the one we both know the answer too. But you have to recognize first, in order to change. Isn't that what the site is all about?
at May 9, 2008 5:02 PM
"I’m also still reeling from Hugh’s suggestion a while back that America establish procedures for Muslim expulsion."
-- from a posting by "skevin" above
Could you kindly produce the evidence on which this assertion rests -- that I suggest certain "procedures" be established "for Muslim expulsion"? You have misunderstood, or misconstrued, what I wrote, possibly innocently, possibly deliberately. In any case, one needs to have the textual evidence for such an assertion presented. Please do so, on this very thread.
