Mosque says to avoid Western holidays
'Thanksgiving Out'

TORONTO - A Toronto mosque is telling Muslims not to say "Happy Thanksgiving" or invite friends into their homes for turkey dinner on the holiday weekend.


The Khalid Bin Al-Walid Mosque says to "avoid participating" in dinners, parties or greetings on Thanksgiving because it is a kuffaar, or non-Muslim, celebration.

A two-part article on the mosque Web site says Muslims should also "stay completely away" from "Halloween trick-and treat nonsense," Christmas, New Year's, anniversaries, birthdays and Earth Day.

How can we bring ourselves to congratulate or wish people well for their disobedience to Allah? Thus expressions such as:Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, etc, are completely out," it says.


In 2003, the Khalid mosque, which mainly serves the Toronto Somali-Canadian community, apologized for a newsletter that compared wishing someone a Merry Christmas to congratulating a murderer.

At the time, a junior employee was blamed for the slight, but the mosque's Web site has since posted similar edicts covering not only Christmas but also virtually every other Western celebration.

Muslims who participate in the holidays are termed ignorant and hypocritical.

While not all are religious holidays, the Internet site says Muslims are required to be different from non-Muslims "in matters which are representative of them or are characteristic of their identity."

Also banned, it says, are: watching sports or soap operas, walking dogs, family photos, wedding bands, Western hats, mingling and shaking hands with the opposite sex.

"Allah and his messenger have warned us against following or imitating non-Muslims in things which are characteristic of their religion or beliefs. This is more emphasized in the case of their eids [festivals] or occasions, which always hold some religious or ideological non-Islamic meanings, and on which the kuffaar indulge in many evil practices."

The Web site also has a question-and-answer section, which advises that Muslims can join political parties only if they are "able to exert some influence on the direction of the party so that it will take an Islamic direction."

Elsewhere in the Q&A section, it says that, "with strong determination and patience, the world will God-willing be under the Muslims' control."

The mosque is run by a federally registered charity. Rival factions within the Somali Muslim community are fighting in court for control of the charity. The mosque president could not be reached yesterday.

They have a right to religious freedom, but why come to a western country if your not going to assimilate or accept and be tolerant of our culture! Seperatism and hatred of western culture is a bad mix in my opinion.

Yes everyone has a right to religious freedom. However, we have to be aware of radical Islam's plan to take over the western world. They start small like this. Next it is demanding that school cannot celebrate Chrsitmas and other holidays-like we have already seen.

Look at England, next to where the Olympics are going to be held, they are building the world's largest mosque. Right next to the Olympic stadium! We have already seen in England where a Muslum men are kidnapping and raping non-Muslum girls because their "fiancees" are good Muslum girls who do not have sex before marriage.

Look at cashiers at Target refusing to scan pork products. Target did not make them do it either-wimps. Look at Minnesota cab drivers refusing to drive passengers with alcohol and dogs. Foot baths are popping up all over in colleges and airports. These circumstances are covered very little by MSM.

What if a devout Catholic refused to scan condoms and birth control-do you think she would keep her job? What about an Orthodox Jew refusing to scan non-kosher foods? An Atheist refusing to scan Bibles?

Why do people move to places that they hate? Why do people work at places that they would have strong moral or religious conflicts with? To meme, this is part of the takeover of the western world by radical Islam. Why do we let them get away with it?

If you move to our country, you are free to practice your religion. That does not mean that we have to change laws, rules and traditions to accomodate you. Assimilate or get out. We have a right to have Halloween parties, jello in our cafeterias. I do not think that Ramadan should be on the school calendar.

I cannot understand why more people do not realize that total control and Sharia Law is their goal. I am not saying all Muslums are like this-but there is clearly a population that want us dead and want to take over our country. Does anyone remember 9-11 and all other terrorist attacks?

So true Nicole. They should not come to a free society if they want to live in a Islamic/facist society.

Agreed. But I think the answer to that question is contained in their own quote "With strong determination and patience, the world will, God willing, be under the Muslim's control".

They plan to take over, plain and simple. And, the frightening part is that they are, more and more, allying themselves with those of the Reconquista mindset.

While that seems like a strange alliance, it's not unheard of for two factions with the same goal, even though they may have other beliefs and practices of polar opposites, to band together. If not, individually they would not have the numbers they need to accomplish what they are trying to do.

Then, of course, once they have achieved their goal, they will begin battling it amongst themselves for total control.

It's been going on for time eternal.
