When i first saw this I did think the date was at the very best an unfortunate choice, and at worst evidence of ill-will.
Happily, there are at least a couple of sensible people on RR who chiped in some relevant information:
BoGo:
"September 10th is the end of Ramadan.
My question is, why are they going to an amusement park? The Ayatollah Khomeini said "There is no fun in Islam.""
Jereboam:
"Eid, the festival that celebrates the end of Ramadan, lasts for three days and is a typically joyous celebration. Families get together, kids get gifts, etc. etc. It's a shame that it falls during the September 11th attacks, but it's not their fault that it did, it's based on the lunar calendar."
Wiki link verifying dates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Fitr#In_the_Gregorian_calendar
Kudos are due to BoGo & Jereboam.

Does this person think "Muslim" and "American" are mutually exclusive or something?
Oh, wait. Rapture Ready. Duh.

I sense Jereboam is going to have the banhammer brought down on him. Rational thought is a bannable offence on RR!

Oh the horror, Muslims having fun at theme parks. They're going to take over the country, one roller coaster at a time!
Seriously, grow up. I went to a theme park with a Muslim friend once, and you know what we did? We ate expensive snacks and went on the rides. No jihad whatsoever. And I think September 12 falls during Eid al-Fitr this year. Eid is like the Muslim version of Christmas, they get presents and take time off and just have a good time. So do you hate fun, Sari? Probably, seeing as you post at RR.

If the mere mention of a religious group sends you into a blind rage, it's time to ask yourself if you might, in fact, be a bigot.

Americans are sooo easily duped!!!!
Some more than others, it would appear.
Muslims believe in the Koran
Well, they are Muslims, so...yeah, they probably do.
Koran teaches to kill, to lie, etc!!!!
Care to provide a citation?
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE SECOND THAT THIS IS FOR FUN
Yeah, Six Flags isn't exactly known for its festive atmosph...hey, wait a minute!
ITS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO AMERICANS!!!!
Only to those Americans that would blame all Muslims for 9/11. The rest of us don't seem to have a problem with it.
Americans better wake up, or one day, we will wake up to The United Muslim States Of America!!!!
Hyperbole.
Its time to get your heads out of the oilly sands!!!!
The only oily sand in the US is along the gulf coast--and Islam has nothing to do with how it got there.

I bet if it was just a normal day and they went there the same day as you, you would be complaining about all of the Muslims in your good, Christian amusement park.
Face it. Muslims have all the freedoms that you do, because they are Americans, too. They can have amusement park days and build mosques if they want to. Grow up, you spoiled baby.

If the fundies object to Muslims having their day, let me remind them that Six Flags has various Gospel Fests, one in St Louis in June. I won several passes to the one in Southern California years ago.
Your stupidity and ignorance of the 1st Amendment is in itself a SLAP IN THE FACE TO AMERICANS.

Sari, surely the day is coming when your head will be lifted way high out the sands, whether they be oilly or not, and it won't be Muslims that you'll be looking down on. You'll be looking down at the dwindling sight of atheists, satanists, Liberals, homos, feminists and black presidents looking up at you and the rest of your naked chums. Apparently, you are going to die next May 21st, according to an expert in Biblical matters, and will be partaking in an aerial dance of the dead. Will there be any time for the aforementioned atheists and satanists etc to convert to Islam? This time, it looks like I needn't say soon in the Rapture Ready meaning of the word, because the Whooshfest is happening next year and not never. Apparently.

Anyone else get the feeling from this post and the other recent one from the RR idiot complaining about Muslims in Disneyworld that they think it's an affront to have to be around Muslims at all? Kind of like a "How dare they be able to be within my sight!"
And someone please tell me how Muslims are going to take over the country by visiting amusement parks? Frankly, we wouldn't have to worry about a theocracy of any kind if it weren't for Christians continuously trying to tear down the wall of separation of church and state.

Yes! hate hate hate, kill kill kill! Declare war on everyone and everything who don't believe in the OUR FÜHRER - LORD ALLMITY as we do. We want to save everyone by killing everyone, we want to save the world by destroying it. We save freedom by taking it away from everyone. Our God doesn’t want slaves who think for themselves. Don't learn, don’t think, and don’t speak. Only then God will love you. That’s the only way to everlasting love, freedom, respect and peace for everyone (whoever that will be).

This is some Glenn Beck nonsense.
He's just pissed because he thinks that's his day.
Muslim family day rotates among all the parks and coincides with the end of Ramadan on 9/9.
It's worth noting that while Muslim family day will be on 9/10 and 9/12, there will not be one on 9/11 even though that's a Saturday.

Fawful has seen God has a vagina on top of his penis.
"The Qur'an speaks well of the relationship it has with former books (the Torah and the Gospel) and attributes their similarities to their unique origin and saying all of them have been revealed by the one God.[103]
According to Sahih Bukhari, the Quran was recited among Levantines and Iraqis, and discussed by Christians and Jews before it was standardized.[104] Its language was similar to the Syriac language. The Qur'an recounts stories of many of the people and events recounted in Jewish and Christian sacred books (Tanakh, Bible) and devotional literature (Apocrypha, Midrash), although it differs in many details. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Eber, Shelah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Jethro, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Aaron, Moses, Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Jesus are mentioned in the Qur’an as prophets of God (see Prophets of Islam). Muslims believe the common elements or resemblances between the Bible and other Jewish and Christian writings and Islamic dispensations is due to their common divine source, and that the original Christian or Jewish texts were authentic divine revelations given to prophets.
Muslims believe that those texts were neglected, corrupted (tahrif) or altered in time by the Jews and Christians and have been replaced by God's final and perfect revelation, which is the Qur'an."

The Bible teaches killing, lying and hatred, too.
That said, I think it's as wrong to have a Muslim Day at an amusement park as to have a Christian Day.

Part 2:
The Bible (the parts fundies always like to ignore):
Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)

Part 3:
Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill False Prophets
If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through. (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

"Americans are sooo easily duped!!!!"
IF
You are not American (US citizen, I think you mean)
THEN
You are not qualified to have an opinion.
IF
You are a US citizen
THEN
You should not judge others using yourself as the model.
