My, such a humorless rant. Muslims are followers of Islam. So your point is lost. No doubt you're familiar with Karen Armstrong's critique of Fundamentalism, Jewish, Christian and Muslim, in her book The Battle for God. It's perfectly possible to discuss all religions without resorting to irrational fear or extreme dislike. Indeed, that sounds like a kind of fundamentalism in itself: Secular Fundamentalism?

Rational evaluation of religion? Ha, that's a good one. That's usually followed by irrational accusations of all manner of bad behaviour with few facts and little context. Bah humbug!

Muslims can already take off their holy days under Canadian law. You'll find Jews take off the high holidays and when they're in the majority, everyone gets those days off. Christmas and Easter are national holidays because the majority of Canadians are Christians. I don't know any Muslims who don't enjoy having Christmas and Easter off. Indeed, Islam is in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
