Muslims in Broward County, Florida have requested that local schools give students the day off on Islamic holidays, just as they do on major Christian and Jewish holidays. The local chapter of CAIR says that Muslims have been excluded for too long, and it is time for the district to become truly inclusive.
In other news, Yasser Arafat’s widow Suha has requested that a murder investigation be opened into the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband. The French authorities have begun the process by agreeing to exhume his body so that it may be forensically examined.

Sounds like Suha is beginning to run out of money.
When they exhume Yasser, they should be sure to test for the AIDS virus, which in all probability is what killed him. His flagrant doodlings with his male body guards were well known.
