Norooz Is Not Islamic

Here we go again, as you all know, I like to add pictures with my posts, well I do quite a bit of surfing to find interesting pictures. Sometimes it happens that I stumble upon something that is "outside the box"

In my previous post there was some brilliant artwork, which I have posted also over at my blog, well while looking for pix to bridge from the beauty of the first picture to to the ugliness of islam I came across this

Afghans raise the holy mace at Sakhy Shrine during a celebration of the Afghan New Year in Kabul March 21, 2009. Afghanistan uses the Persian calendar which runs from the vernal equinox. The calendar takes as its start date the time when the Prophet Mohammad moved from Mecca to Medina in 621 AD. The current Persian year is 1388.

What we see here is Reuters blatantly trying to give the impression that Norooz is a moslem celebration, when in fact it date thousands of years before the sand pervert

It's just the first day of spring, for God's sake.

We sure do have a better way of celebrating the arrival of spring, don't we?

We do Jaco, we do and it is called Ostara, but we should remember it was hijacked by Christains and turned into a religious event, now called Easter much like we see the moslems hijacking Norooz. the difference is islam takes the joy out of the celebrations if it does not comply with islam.
