No words can express my contempt for the dictator of Turkey. This gif is a weak statement, totally insufficient to express my ineffable hatred.
Who is that turd mouth to bitch about freedom of religion while he is an accursed Muslim who closes churches and persecutes Christians? Jihad Watch has a litany of Turdogan's hypocrisy. Me confidential has an analysis of the quote.
The Department of State does not plan to hold an iftar; why in Hell should it? We have separation of church and state. Our federal government is not allowed to promote Isdamn. If yuou want a damned iftar to celebrate the revelation of Satan's book, host it yourself at your own expense, don't demand that we tax payers subsidize it!!!
freedom of religion
From Reliance Of The Traveller, Book o: your damned law: [Emphasis added.]

You first, AssWhole! For Muslims to celebrate our feasts is haram. [Emphasis added.]947: Ruling on celebrating non-Muslim holidays and congratulating them
Can a muslim celebrate a non muslim holiday like Thanksgiving?
Praise be to Allaah.
Greeting the kuffaar on Christmas and other religious holidays of theirs is haraam, by consensus, as Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah: "Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival,’ and so on. If the one who says this has been saved from kufr, it is still forbidden. It is like congratulating someone for prostrating to the cross, or even worse than that. It is as great a sin as congratulating someone for drinking wine, or murdering someone, or having illicit sexual relations, and so on. Many of those who have no respect for their religion fall into this error; they do not realize the offensiveness of their actions. Whoever congratulates a person for his disobedience or bid’ah or kufr exposes himself to the wrath and anger of Allaah."Congratulating the kuffaar on their religious festivals is haraam to the extent described by Ibn al-Qayyim because it implies that one accepts or approves of their rituals of kufr, even if one would not accept those things for oneself. But the Muslim should not aceept the rituals of kufr or congratulate anyone else for them, because Allaah does not accept any of that at all, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"If
you disbelieve, then verily, Allaah is not in need of you, He likes not
disbelief for His
slaves. And if you are grateful (by being believers), He is pleased
therewith for you. . ."
[al-Zumar 39:7]
". . . This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed
My favour upon you, and
have chosen for you Islaam as your religion . . ."
[al-Maa’idah 5:3]
So congratulating them is forbidden, whether they are one’s
colleagues at work or otherwise.
If they greet us on
the occasion of their festivals, we should not respond, because these
are not
our festivals, and because they are not festivals which are acceptable
to Allaah. These festivals
are innovations in their religions, and even those which may have been
prescribed formerly
have been abrogated by the religion of Islaam, with which Allaah sent
Muhammad
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to the whole of mankind.
Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted
of him, and in the
Hereafter he will be one of the losers." [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]
It
is haraam for a Muslim to accept invitations on such occasions, because
this is worse than
congratulating them as it implies taking part in their celebrations.
Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having
parties on such occasions, or
exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off
work, etc., because the
Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever imitates a
people
is one of them." Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book
Iqtidaa’ al-siraat
al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem: "Imitating them in some of
their festivals implies
that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives
them the hope that they may
have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak."
Whoever does anything of this sort is a sinner, whether he does it out
of politeness or to be
friendly, or because he is too shy to refuse, or for whatever other
reason, because this is
hypocrisy in Islaam, and because it makes the kuffaar feel proud of
their religion.
Allaah is the One Whom we ask to make the Muslims feel proud of their
religion, to help them
adhere steadfastly to it, and to make them victorious over their
enemies, for He is the Strong
and Omnipotent.
Majmoo’ah Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 3/369)
