    Criminal Defense Organization ignores Eid salutes Rosh Hashanah only.

    By SaSiddiqui  |  Posted September 23, 2009  |  Tallahassee, Florida
     

    Enclosed is the text of an email from the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorney's to the membership saluting the Hebrew new year.  When I reminded them that the most holy of day in Islam was Monday-Tuesday (09/21/2009) there was no mass email wishing anyone "Happy Eid".

     

    I believe this is an act of gross discrimination.  I do not believe the FACDL should even comment on religion, but now that they have, all religions should be mentioned equally and fairly.  I believe a public apology should also be issued to Islamic members of FACDL.

     

    Original Email:

    [FACDLmembers] Apologize to our Jewish members

    My sincere apologies.  In my previous email I should have wished you a Happy New Year!
