Cambridge schools already close for some Christian and jewish holidays, and McGovern said he believes Muslims should be treated equally.
“The issue that sort of came up was should we celebrate any religious holidays, but there was not the will to take away Good Friday or one of the Jewish holidays,” he said. “So I said, if that is the case, I think we have an obligation to celebrate one of the Muslim holidays, as well.”
He said, “It just didn’t seem right that we would close for two of those religions (Christian & Jewish), but not for the third.”
(IMO-It is appropriate we don’t close for the third “religion” (ideology) because we are a Christian nation, not Islamic. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Saudi Arabia celebrates even one Christian holiday or doesn’t even allow a Christian church to be built, along with allowing Bibles in the country?)
These clips are purely for a laugh. Christopher Hitchens doesn’t fail to live up to the prediction Sam Harris’s wife made about his concern that four guys answering “I don’t know” in every way possible on the question of what happens when you die would be boring. “Nothing Hitchens does is ever boring.”
This discussion – “Is there an Afterlife?” – was presented by jewish tv Network and took place February 15th, 2011.

Dr. Jimmy DeYoung discusses the Seven Ancient Jewish Feasts from Leviticus 23, and explains how the first 4 feasts were fulfilled in Christ’s first coming, and how Jesus, the Messiah, will fulfill the remaining 3 feasts in His yet future second coming, in the proper day sequence. Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets, in Christ’s Return to the Earth – Yom Kippur is the national salvation of Israel, when all the Jews will be saved in a day – and Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles, is the Millennial Kingdom reign upon the Earth.
