Creeping Sharia? Washington Becomes 1st State To Recognize Islamic Holidays As State Holidays

Pamela Geller is reporting that Washington state has become the first state to recognize Islamic Holidays as official State holidays.

Geller quoting The Daily Wire notes, “The state of Washington, which does not officially recognize Easter or Yom Kippur as state holidays, became the first state in the nation to recognize the two Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as unpaid state-recognized holidays when Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson signed the legislation into law this month.”

No other state currently accepts these as official holidays. This is an example of diversity upending the traditions of the founders, who believed in Biblical values and worshipped accordingly.

The move to add these holidays was made by Sen. Yasmin Trudeau (D-Tacoma). Rep. Osman Salahuddin (D-Redmond) sponsored the companion bill. The Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson was bragging about this latest innovation.  “This bill is historic. Washington is now the first state to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What percentage of Washington state's population are Muslims? Jews? Buddhists? Hindus? Orthodox or other Eastern Christians who use the Julian calendar as the basis for their paschalion?

If any of the other groups represents a higher percentage of the population than do Muslims and do not have their holidays similiarly recognized, this is creeping Sharia.  If they also get the same treatment, it's just solicitude for the interests of large religious minorities.
