Muslim New Jersey Mayor Just Abolished Christmas ‘To Respect Other Religions’

You won’t see businesses in Hoboken, New Jersey decking the halls anytime soon thanks to the city’s new Mayor, Ravi Bhalla.

Bhalla was elected just yesterday but he has wasted no time implementing his new regime . While he could appreciate the freedom that allowed him to get elected, Bhalla decided to instead spend his early days taking it away from others.

Bhalla will officially take office on November 29, just in time for Christmas. But the wreaths will not be hung nor will the carolers be singing with joy because Bhalla has canceled all “government involvement in the Christian holiday Christmas” out of respect for “other religions.”

“There are many who do not celebrate Christmas,” the turban-wearing Muslim mayor told the Hoboken Star. “Muslims do not celebrate Christmas. Jews do not celebrate Christmas. Atheists do not celebrate Christmas. The list goes on.”

Bhalla says that instead of the annual Christmas celebration that has been held every year Hoboken has existed, the city will be having an “All holiday matter” celebration that will incorporate “elements of all major religions’ holiday celebrations.”

when Bhalla was elected, he promised to “glorify Allah in every decision.” This must be part of that.

Already, more than 3,500 residents have called the office of current outgoing mayor Shelly Hoberstein to complain.

Now... what's fun here is that "Reagan Was Right" is a satire site. Anyone with an ounce of skepticism will see that immediately... and just a teeny-tiny bit of digging will lead to

Reagan Was Right is a whimsical playland of conservative satire.

Before you complain and decide satire is synonymous with “comedy”:

sat·ire
ˈsaˌtī(ə)r
noun

The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined. Any similarities between this site’s pure fantasy and actual people, places, and events are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and satirical.

And yet... the piece was taken seriously, first by wingnuts , and then by debunkers .

I mean... seriously folks... this is the author's bio:

William Farrow is a conservative Christian who serves God as the leader of a flock in Arkansas. He believes in a strong adherence to the Constitution, an impenetrable defense budget, and that the Bible should be the backbone of every single decision the country makes.

If you love America, email him and tell him how much at freedomandeaglesandstuff@gmail.com.

Successful satire!

The guy is a Sikh, anyway. For a lot of people, anyone with something other than a baseball cap or a cowboy hat on their head is a Muslim - and probably a terrorist to boot.
