Ramadan is a month, Christmas is a day. I haven't seen any local businesses making concessions to Christians for Lent. Ultimately the question becomes how much of a concession in the name of 'religious freedom' is really valid? Is there a monetary amount where businesses should cap what they are willing to indulge?

It would be extremely hypocritical if they then expected other later immigrants to conform to their own personal superstitions and customs. i say make Christians work on Christmas, Easter and Sundays, make Jews work on Passover, Fridays, and Chanika, and make Muslims work on Ramadan. /sarcasm
