Attention world...... O'Reilly is an idiot..... That is all

[lovemetender9]

i beleive billy o'reilly is scared that islam will vastly increase around the world and ramadan should be recognized in public school just like hanukka and christmas and halloween i think it shouldnt be named christmas break but holiday break where all the holidays are recognized ramadan hanukka christmas kwanza and even the hindu and buddhist holidays there should be a cultural get together THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS CALLED THE POT OF GOLd!!

Halloween is not a children's holiday. That's just not true. It's a Pagan holiday that anyone can celebrate. I also like how Bill won't let Ramadan have more than just one corner, but Halloween and Christmas get the whole school.

Church-state seperation. Perhaps all this should be left out of public schools. This is exactly why the founders wanted seperation because idiots like Bill O think that the majority belief always trumps the minority, so in matters of religion the best approach is to keep it private.

Um...no you can say it's religious but every atheist in the united states celebrates christmas, and most people dont think about jesus, maybe it started out religious but honestly....it's not anymore, it's cultural.

Lol... you guys in America cannot get the courage to give up your religion in public institutions so now, based on equal rights, you have to accept Islam.

hahah this is getting worse the reporter i feel he scares that other people will become Muslim if they learned about Islam.... they will show him the weakness they don';t see we live among them and kept our faith idiot educate yourself and give people freedom to celebrate their religion. Allahu Akbar

Ur acting as if thts something wrong. Doesnt the first amendment give the right to practice ur religon FREELY, so i don't c y ppl jst cnt respect that and let everyone live peacfuly or is it tht it bugs u so much tht we're all treated as equals and no one gets the bigger piece of the pie

[Amanb1001]

Not any more though. They've made Christmas into a cultural holiday as well. Also they can't give Ramadan equal footing otherwise, Hindu's, Jews, Buddhists and so on will want their holidays recognized as well.

[MissNooni]

Halloween we'll say is cultural but Christmas is a religous holdiay just like Ramadan and due to freedom of religion jst like Christmas is celebrated we're asking that Ramadan gets its equal share
