That's because not everyone here is Christain, therfore not everyone takes it seriously. Since American has this thing called freedom of religon, Easter can't be designated as a religious holiday.

If Americans are having so much fun with all your fake holidays then why are ya'll on so many anti-depression drugs?
Americans act like your supposed to live in a constant state of euphoria. There's always a new movie, a new album, another holiday, another weekend, another reason to party, so on and so forth.
It's like Imam Jamil Al Amin says on drug use:
"This society arouses within you desires and passions that make you seek to escape reality by being high. Everything is geared toward keeping you in a state of euphoria. One holiday follows the next: Christmas to New Years, to Easter, to Mothers Day, to Fathers Day, to the NBA playoffs, to the Superbowl, to the Championship fights, to Olympics. Everything keeps you high. Everything is geared towards keeping you away from encountering reality, everything is geared to keep you from remembering God. The problem is not so much crack and cocaine, but that we live in a system that can infect, that develops within you an appetite to divorce yourself from reality. Therefore when intoxicants are introduced to you as a physical experience, you have already been conditioned spiritually and mentally. A condition has been created where you begin to oppress yourself in a state that is unnatural."

man, you understand nothing about society.
so you want us all to just sit in prayer ? do nothing but pray our whole life ?
to survive you need a goal, something to look forward to, something to strive for. otherwise what is the point in living ? why would God put us here, if he just wanted us to worship him 24/7 ?

Why do you speak in second person plural? You seem to forget that you are American too, therfore you will suffer the same problems as me or any other American. How does that feel? But wait since you're Muslim you are not like the rest of Americans. Your religous discrimination sickens me like only a white man's discrimination can.

Islam is not a religion in the Western sense of the word; Islam is a way of life. Christians go to church on Sunday, and then on Monday they go back to work as Americans. However, a Muslim is a Muslim 24-7.

No, Islam is not that kind of religion. You don't have to be in off in a cave making prayer and meditation, it is a practical religion; and it doesn't prevent you from seeking economic prosperity or enjoying yourself pleasureable activities; although Allah has mentioned certain acts which are forbidden in our religion. Like alcohol for example.... But I guess from your perspective not being able to drink alcohol would ruin almost all the holidays...
Christmas- drinking holiday
St. Patricks Day- drinking holiday
Halloween- drinking holiday
4th of July- drinking holiday
etc.
