I'd like to see busloads of our Jewish brethren show up to donate blood.

I wonder how the Mohammedans would deal with that.

Would be a heck of a media event.

I was wondering if the LGBT's had "meet a gay day" to coincide with the Muslim day, in the same park.

Northampton PD tried high five Fridays. It was where police would meet school kids on Fridays. Show them police cars and high five them on the way into school. The lefties shut it down scaring the illegal kids that they might get shipped back home. Northampton has protested pretty regular. Bat shit crazies.

^^^^^^^^ I remember that!

Northampton police discontinue ‘High-Five Friday’ at elementary schools after complaints

NORTHAMPTON MA — Since early December, Northampton police officers have greeted elementary school students with “high-fives” on Friday.

The event was called “High-Five Friday” — billed as a way for officers to connect with students and show support for schools. But no longer. High-Five Friday was canceled last week following complaints from the public, Police Chief Jody Kasper said Sunday.

“It’s a little bit frustrating for us to not be able to continue on with the program, quite honestly,” she said.

Kasper said a group of officers rotated to one of the four district elementary schools every Friday to greet kids. She said the weekly event was designed to foster positive relationships between police and young people in an era when community policing tactics are encouraged.

“We thought it was a great way to start building relationships with young kids,” Kasper said. “We liked that it was something that was seemingly — seemingly — simple, but has turned out not to be.”

The complaints, according to a police department Facebook post on Saturday, centered around the questioned effectiveness of the program and some students who “might respond negatively to a group of uniformed officers at their school.”

The post mentions children of color, undocumented immigrant children or other children who may have had negative encounters with law enforcement.

Kasper said there were two meetings to discuss community concerns. The first was at a Jan. 12 School Committee meeting. The second was weeks later at a community meeting that drew 12 to 15 people, the department wrote in its Facebook post.

At the January meeting, Kasper told the School Committee the department sought approval from the district superintendent and the four elementary school principals beforehand. She also said officers weren’t forcing their high-fives on any student, and said administrators let parents know in advance about the event.

At-large School Committee member Molly Burnham said at the meeting the program “came up very suddenly for a lot of us and that was a little upsetting.” She also wondered how the program would be assessed for effectiveness.

“It’s hard to measure impact without doing a widespread, sort of survey on that,” Kasper said. She did say that the department had received positive feedback on social media.

“You may be getting positive feedback but it may be really difficult for people who are having a negative reaction to come to you and say, ‘It really upset my child to come to school and see the police because the police have been at our house three times this month[b/],’” said Ward 2 committee member Laura Fallon.

Kasper said High-Five Friday was “paused” following that meeting. After the follow-up community meeting last week, High-Five Friday was effectively finished, Kasper said.

R. Downey Meyer, Ward 7 committee member, said he supported the program but said the district had to take into account concerns that [b]some students were uncomfortable.

“That was something we couldn’t ignore,” he said in an interview.

Don't forget it's a BYOB event. Bring your own bacon.

I've never seen a "meet a Christian " day. But we have catholc feasts all over the state all the time. The biggest I know is St. Anthony's feast in the north end of Boston. Streets are shut down.

In any case an Egyptian Christian that is interning at my company said he left Egypt due to Islam. He said it wasn't safe. He also explained to my conworker that muslims come here, not to be American, but to make America Islamic. They don't recognize country, only Islam.

We are Borg.

Just offering my $0.02. Feel free to ignore if you don't agree.

A group of people that is generally conservative, and pro-gun, is attempting to do an outreach program. Frankly, I don't see a problem with this.

I was watching Newt Gingrich on C-Span one day and he said something that I felt was very insightful. He said that American culture was different than any other culture in the history of the world because American culture is so corrosive that it destroys and consumes what it touches.

I understand that we have problems with various minority groups of one type or another. But within two generations these groups get assimilated into American culture. Contrast this with European countries where Muslims have little opportunity to become English, French or German.

In addition to being conservative and pro-gun, many Muslims seem to be highly critical us U.S. Government policy. So that is three things that many forum members here have in common with Muslims.

You can choose to see all Muslims as enemies. But I prefer to view them as potential allies.

As for the LGBT community, I know my sample is pretty small, but the people in this community that I know tend to be conservative. Remember the motto of the pink pistols, "Armed Gays don't get bashed."

Here are a few things Muslims don't have in common with most members.

1.) We don't consider people of other faiths infidels who must be destroyed.

2.) We don't condone or allow honor killings because we don't like what our daughter or sister does.

3.) We don't nor do we condone the treatment of women as second class citizens.

4.) We don't and won't accept through silence the slaughter of innocents because they don't believe in Islam.

Would you like me to go on?

Really, Broadside?
Step back and look at the history of the world, the big picture.

Do you see Muslims assimilating into other cultures?
Or, Islam assimiliating other cultures to itself?
