No it couldn't have. For the second time; Christians are commanded to love, pray for and bless our enemies. No true Christian can fly a plane into a building with innocent people on board. You seem to know very little about Christianity, but you are quick to attack it.
And here comes the "true christian" manta. For me, i do not take serious.
Jose Lambiet needs to write more important articles or go back to Cuba on the holiday marked on the free calendar for him. Obviously those are holidays that people go out grocery shopping. Anybody out there celebrating Pearl Harbor or 911? Shame on the Palm Beach Post for printing this nonsense.
We don't celebrate those days; we commemorate the horrible events of those dates and commemorate our dead.
Passing over Pearl Harbor in favor or a Muslim holiday is an affront to anyone who has lost a loved one who has served in the US Military.
The wise thing to have done would have been to list both holiday and memorial.
One can argue it happened 59 years ago and we should move on, but it is a part of our history, and shaped our nation.
What happens in 2060 when some money-hungry bubbleheads at a grocery decide to supplant 9/11 with a holiday celebrated by a group with a significant, dangerous portion within the population?
Sure PUBLIX can honor whoever they want.
But as they found out, pandering to a small number of muslims while offending a larger group of god fearing Americans is not a wise business move.
Free market working as designed.
A couple of knuckleheads getting upset over this won't do a thing to the business that Publix does. I guarantee it.
What in tarnation are these people doing acknowledging any cultural celebrations by my own?!?
This is an outrage! For no reason that is logically apparent even to myself, I feel I own this free country full of immigrants and am threatened when any religion is acknowledged to exist but my own!
What sad people these must be who create these controveries - so full of fear. And "patriot day"? Never heard of it.
The left have no problem with Islamic New Year on their free calendars ?
No. Do you see any of the left-leaning posters here pitching a fit over this?

Muslims are also free to open their own islamocentric grocery stores and issue their own calendars. Such is the greatness of America.
Just curious - when you use the phrase "god fearing", is that meant to be a positive connotation? I personally couldn't imagine living one's life in constant fear of God as anything positive, but it seems some people do.

I loved family members who have served in the U.S. Military. In fact, three of my uncles died in WWII and Publix not putting Pearl Harbor on a free calendar when they didn't have any other memorials on the calendar ISN'T an affront on myself or my family. Please kindly do me (and many others) a favor and don't attempt to speak for us.

Good, well I hope those offended shop elsewhere. Hopefully there's enough Muslims in south Florida to take up the slack.
Offend some Americans but God forbid we offend non-Americans ?
I guess the point is- why would you be offended? They put out a calendar and tried to include something for everyone.
Some people have an "ALL ABOUT ME" problem.
