|
| 11-23-07 The Spanish Language
print out page will be discontinued until proper translation services
can be obtained. Machine translation does not deal with the nuances of
religious expressions or the details of proper grammar. An alternative
action for viewers is to go to language translation services such
as the Google website, enter the English format and request English to
Spanish being aware of the shortcomings noted above.

|
| 10-29-07 Quds Day - In the light of
further research including contact with Muslim leadership in the
Minnesota metro area and Palestinian sources in Jerusalem it is apparent
that Quds Day is primarily a political based observance. It will not be
included in the Interfaith Calendar listing.
|
| 10-26-07 Thanksgiving
in Canada has been added to the 2008-2011 calendars on the second
Monday of October. It is an interfaith observance.
|
| 10-24-07 Quds Day Question is raised as to
why this Muslim Holy Day is not on the interfaith calendar pages.
Several years ago serious question was raised about the day since it
relates to the tensions between Muslim and Jewish peoples and some see
it as a civic observance. Now I receive
arguments that it should be included since it promotes a human rights
issue. As this issue is addressed I will appreciate
input from interested parties. Contact me at info@interfaithcalendar.org
