CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Commissioners over one county in North Carolina have approved
a resolution recognizing June as the “Month of Ramadan.”
The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners adopted the resolution on Tuesday, with six in favor and three against.
“Ramadan is a sacred time that commemorates the revelation of the
Quran to the prophet Mohammad, and encourages fasting, prayer,
reflection, God consciousness and gratitude,” the resolution reads.
“[E]ach day of fasting teaches the soul to struggle with the self,
persevere, be patient and to forgive and love.”
It asserts that Islam is a part of America’s history and that Muslims should be recognized for their contributions.
“Ramadan reminds us that Islam has always been a part of America and
Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country, including
those made by the famous Muslim scholar Omar Ibn Said, who was enslaved
and brought to the Carolinas in 1807,” the resolution states.

Democrats George Dunlap and Dumont Clarke were the sponsors of
the proposal, and during the commission meeting last week, those in
favor of the resolution spoke to those gathered about the traditions
that are observed during the Islamic holiday.
Following the vote, the Board posted a notice to social media, writing, “#MeckBOCC adopts a proclamation that declares May 26 – June 24 as the Month of Ramadan.”
All of the comments under the post were in opposition to the
resolution, with one follower remarking, “You do not do that for any
other religion. I get it. You’re scared, both of Muslims and of being
called Islamophobic. You are pathetic.”
Commissioners Jim Pickett, Matthew Ridenhour and Bill James were the only board members to reject the idea.
“To the best of my knowledge we have never (and I don’t think it
would be proper) adopted a resolution in support of Lent … Easter,
Christmas, Hanukkah, Passover, Yom Kippur, Pioneer Day for Mormons, or
Diwali,” Puckett said in an email, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) has also
expressed objection, writing a letter to the board to assert that the
resolution violates the U.S. Constitution because it entangles the
government with religion.
“Several statements from the Mecklenburg County proclamation go
beyond mere recognition of Ramadan as a cultural phenomenon,” the group
wrote in a press release. “The resolution includes statements about
drawing closer to ‘God,’ the revelations of the ‘Prophet Muhammad,’ and
even the existence of a ‘soul,’ all without the qualification that these
are mere beliefs of those who celebrate the holiday.”
“The government must scrupulously avoid making declarations as to the
veracity of religious beliefs,” it said. “In order to avoid the
appearance of religious endorsement, the Board of County Commissioners
must take steps to disassociate the county from promotion of religious
beliefs, whether espoused by Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus,
Satanists or others.”

Hundreds
of Jewish worshipers ascended the Temple Mount today, (Tisha b’Av –
August 14, 2016), to quietly and solemnly mark the 1946th anniversary of
the destruction of the Holy Temple at the hands of the Romans, in the
year 70 CE.
Jewish presence on the Temple Mount and undeniable
testimony to the eternal connection between the nation of Israel and the
Temple Mount, where G-d chose for His presence to dwell, in the place
of the Holy Temple, is apparently too much of an affront to the web of
lies and deceit that the modern-day purveyors of Islam have woven
concerning the Temple Mount, both denying any Jewish connection to the
Temple Mount, and claiming exclusive Muslim rights to the Mount.
When
confronted with massive, living, breathing evidence of Israel’s ties to
the Temple Mount, in the form of 100’s of Jews on the Mount, the
Muslims on the Temple Mount can always be counted on to revert to a last
line of defense: violence.
This footage was taken by Muslims.
On
the morning of June 25, 2014, some forty Jews ascended the Temple Mount
to be seen by G-d and pray on behalf of the three Jewish teenagers who
were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists two weeks ago. Hundreds of Muslim men
and women and a Hamas organized summer camp for Muslim children greeted
the Jews with thunderous jeers and curses, waving their shoes and
holding up their newly minted obscenity: a three-finger “victory” sign,
signifying their gloating pride in the kidnapping of the three Jewish
boys. For more than one hour the Muslim mob followed and lunged at the
Jewish worshipers. This video shows a few brief examples of the twisted
Muslim culture of hatred in which Muslim children are indoctrinated, and
which passes for the “status quo” on the Temple Mount.
