Well, a bunch of Christians and Jews would be having a sh-t fit if Muslim days off were imposed on them in place of their calendar, so to each his own. We have a blue law here in Kansas so we can't buy booze on Sunday and speaking for us infidels, we don't especially like their religious crappola being imposed on us.Comment

To clarify, the old day off wasn't on Sunday, but on Friday (as was long-since established) Whomever decided to create an extra day off on Saturday didn't make it "to imitate the West", but imitated some neighbouring Muslim countries.
This controversy doesn't show a ****-up by some Yank bureaucrat, but a deep antisemitism from some *******s, who prefer to work rather than to have a "jewish" day off

I love the way the day of the week suddenly develops a religion. I missed the circumcision and bar (or bat) mitzvah of Saturday. It's a shame, I'd have liked the free food and drinks. Although what do you buy a day of the week as a present, a box of assorted dates?Originally posted by Spiffor

I must watch out for the next Jewish New Year, so I can avoid that whole year, and obviously I must try to be in some other dimension when next Ramadan comes around.
And definitely don't date anything by that 'Common Era'
nonsense, since it's reliant on Christian dating.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Why did Jordan pick Saturday, anyway? If they were copying the Western model, Thursday would've seemed more logical (being the day before the islamically holy Friday, just like Saturday is the day before the christianly holy Sunday).Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

They either had to choose Saturday or Thursday and I imagine they did decide on Saturday because that meant their work week would better coincide with the international work week. It's a little easier to conduct international business if you have four common working days with everyone else instead of three common working days.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
