Tyson drops Labor Day holiday for Eid al-Fitr

I understand that the strict kosher handling of meat is very similar to the strict muslim handling of meat.

 

Then you must logically also acknowledge that radical islamists that don't follow the dicates of Islam aren't really Islamic, either.

My whole point in this thread has been that Christians can't hold other faiths to standards that Christians don't hold for themselves.

 

Tyson food did NOT support the dropping of Labor Day. It just allowed the employees at one plant to vote on which 8 holidays that they choose to be paid holidays. It doesn't stop anyone from celebrating Labor Day, they just have to take leave.

Labor Day is neither a religious holiday nor a patriotic holiday. It is a holiday to celebrate the labor unions in the country. My guess is that you despise labor unions. Why the outrage?

My employer, LSU, does not give us Memorial Day off. We have to take leave for a patriotic holiday. I wish I could vote on my holidays.

 

Double Standard. He is also wacko if he kills in the name of Christianity. See Hitler, Adolf.

If you check, you will see that the Koran also forbids murder. It does not forbid killing in battle, but neither does the Bible.

I think you make a lot of incorrect assumptions about Islam. One of the peculiarities of the Koran is that, unlike the Bible, it does not read in chronological order. Like the Bible it has many authors speaking of issues happening over several millenia. In the bible it is possible to distinguish the older beliefs (animal sacrifices and such) from newer ones (baptism and forgiveness). It is easier for one to make sense of the many contradictions inherent in the bible by putting them into proper context of time and circumstance.

Less so in the Koran which is organized erratically and is written more like poetry (like Psalms or the Song of Solomon) than the history of a religion, as in the Bible. Like the bible, it has many inherent contradictions that are based on time and circumstance but it is harder to truly understand. A muslim can find a Koran passage to justify almost anything and another muslim can find one to refute it. Much like the Bible.

 

It is attributed to Mohammed, much as the Gospels are attributed to Matthew Mark, Luke and John, although actually written much later.

The Koran is almost certainly a collection of the writings of several authors and suffering many edits. As in the Gospels, modern scholars believe that different sources have been incorporated into the modern document.
