Have you heard about this?

The European Union has published a school calendar that leaves out Christian holidays, like Christmas and Easter, while noting significant Jewish and Muslim celebrations.

3 million copies have already been printed and will be given out freely to students who request it from the union’s 27 member countries.

According to the Catholic News Agency, former French politician and government minister Christine Boutin noted the omission of Christian holidays in a Jan. 11 blog post, saying the calendar slights the religion practiced or recognized as forming the cultural assembly of our ‘old’ continent.

She also wrote that Christianity has fallen into the limbo of collective ignorance.

The European Union, meanwhile, claims that leaving out Christian holidays on this calendar given out to millions of students was simply an error.

Yeah, right.

The calendar was created as an educational tool for students. They can write their homework and activities on each page. Below each calendar page, there are inspirational quotes, information or comments for reflection.

I wonder if any Bible verses are included? Probably not.

There are no Christian holidays on the calendar, but the EU made darn sure that Sikh Baisakhi-Day, Yom Kippur, and the Muslim holiday Aid-el-Kebir remain listed.

The European Union sent out the following explanation:

At the bottom of each page of this ‘class journal’ are small quotes or information devoted to various subjects and perhaps less known to European students. Some of them sometimes refer to cultural events, historical and religious…This approach led, without any deliberate intent, in the absence of references to events and important religious festivals that are very much a part of European heritage, particularly…Christmas and its importance in the Christian religion.

The EU claims that the Christian holidays will be put back on the calendar for future printings.

Only because the public noticed.

On the other hand, per billionbibles.org:

Sharia law entered Europe after WWII when the weakened European nations retracted from their colonies, bringing to Europe their former colonial subjects as both refugees and cheap labor from such Muslim nations as Pakistan (UK), Turkey (Germany) and Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia (France).

Initially, Sharia law was applied discretely within the small Muslim communities of Europe. But after two generations of high birth rate and immigration, those communities have grown to where the Sharia law now challenges the Judeo-Christian foundations of their host European nations.

In Germany, for example, Muslim men have successfully used the Sharia law in court to defend their right to beat their wives and to practice polygamy.

In United Kingdom, where Islamic imams now outnumber Christian pastors and converting empty church buildings into mosques has become a cottage industry, the Archbishop of Canterbury – the leader of the Church of England – recently stated that adopting elements of the Sharia law into the English judicial system was “unavoidable”.

In France, home to an estimated 14 million Muslims, including 9 million illegal immigrants, the government no longer controls the banlieus, the densely-populated, predominantly Muslim ghettos that encircle most major French cities.

It is still legal in France to distribute Bibles and tracts but doing so in the banlieus, where the French police seldom enter, invites mob violence, and even the legality is expected to end by 2040 when France is projected to become a majority-Muslim nation (The Netherlands will become Western Europe’s first majority-Muslim nation by 2015). Sharia is also gaining in North America.

You say you don’t believe that?

From nypost.com, post this morning:

A lawsuit aimed at shutting down the controversial Ground Zero mosque may get tossed on a technicality because opponents failed to properly name the project’s owners.

The American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative advocacy group suing on behalf of retired firefighter and 9/11 responder Timothy Brown, had named mosque financier Sharif El-Gamal’s company, Soho Properties — rather than the legal owner, 45 Park Place Partners LLC — in court papers.

That technicality, argued 45 Park Place Partners attorney Adam Leitman Bailey in papers filed Friday, is one more reason why the suit should be tossed.

The two sides are scheduled to be back in Manhattan Supreme Court tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the beautiful building known at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, sitting in disrepair at the site of the worst Islamic Terrorist attack in the history of America,has yet to be rebuilt.
