 Dec. 7, 2010 marks the Islamic New Year, but not Pearl Harbor Day on all calendars produced by Blue Mountain Arts of Boulder, Colo. (WND photo / Joe Kovacs) |
"A date which will live in infamy."
That's how President Franklin Roosevelt immortalized Dec. 7, 1941, the day Japanese forces stunned the U.S. with a sudden attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, prompting the U.S. to jump into the Second World War.
Just don't expect to find any mention of that on your calendar this year.
Nearly seven decades after the onslaught, many U.S. calendars produced by American companies are ignoring Pearl Harbor Day, and are displaying instead the Islamic New Year on Dec. 7.
Even
calendars promoting the Holy Bible take note of the Muslim observance,
while completely omitting the day on which more than 2,000 Americans
lost their lives in the surprise attack.
"I have a Psalms
calendar, which has a Bible verse on each month's picture, made by
BrownTrout Publishers, Inc., and it also has Dec. 7 as the Islamic New
Year. No mention of Pearl Harbor Day," said Donna Brandt of
Marshalltown, Iowa. "I am incensed and will be giving the BrownTrout
Publishers a piece of my mind! Thank you for calling my attention to
this blasphemy."
