Iraqi students protest day off on Jewish Sabbath

By The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraqis are complaining about their first-ever weekend break, and some high-school students even went to class Saturday to protest a decision introducing a second weekly day off that coincides with the Jewish Sabbath.

It’s not that the Iraqis do not want time off – they just want the extra day moved to Thursday.

“We don’t want Saturday! It’s a Jewish holiday!” students chanted as they marched in protest last week to the governor’s office in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad.

I think these people’s brains have been twisted by both Saddam and the Arab Crazy People™ for so long, we may need a whole new generation to appear before there is hope of them becoming civilized.

I mean, can you believe this?! You’d think one or two of them would see how stupid this looks, but no… This is way more than the Generation Gap my parents and their friends used to speak of. I consider it to be more of a Universe Gap.

  1. That’s it, I’m headed to the office RISGHT NOW. How dare they give me Saturday and Sunday off, Sunday is a goyishe holiday and I don’t want to sleep in while they’re at church or anything, no-siree-bob!

    For crying out out, there’s no set week-end in the Middle East and they were only getting one day/week off. To be honest, I don’t know why the powers that be who made the decision about a second day didn’t consult with authorities on local culture to get it right, but the way to address this would be to politely point out there’d been a total cock-up that could be misperceived and request a revision of the week-end to be Thursday & Friday.

  2. Part II?

    So I checked a few things out as I’d never thought too much about Muslim’s and Sabbath – I knew it was Friday (and thought they do the sundown to sundown deal like we do) and discovered that Friday was the day chosen by Muhammad to commemorate the creation of man on the “sixth day” and to differentiate his followers from Christians and Jews.

    I’m sure a lot of the shouting is with the we hate Jews attitude, but whoever made the decision about the 2nd day off should have known this could be an issue in a Muslim country.
