Subject: [Building Blocks] 2nd Petition to Support the movement of having Muslim holidays recognized (1st Petition failed to meet the required number of Signatures)

Assalamualikum -

First petition failed to meet the required number of signatures i.e. 1,00,000 by a small margin, as it was not circulated among community members promptly. Second petition is already created and is getting more attention. Please sign and forward it promptly to as many people as possible, to prevent it from failing again. Here is info:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/support-movement-having-muslim-holidays-recognized-school-year-throughout-united-states-america/hXwCfYPc

Support the movement of having Muslim holidays recognized in the school year, throughout the United States of America.

With the growing population of Muslims in the United States of America (including first, second, third, and fourth generation) we believe it is high time that Muslim holidays are recognized by schools throughout this nation. Unfortunately many Muslim families are forced to choose between their children’s education and their religious obligations. Muslim school children and staff deserve the same benefits afforded to the followers of other faiths. We call on President Obama to support this petition and advance the inclusiveness of our great nation.
