State Department Selling 2009 Calendar Of Muslim Mosques

Stupid:

This now available from the U.S. State Department: “2009 Mosques of America Wall Calendar: Limited Edition for Ramadan.”

“Yep, you read that correctly. It’s ‘perfect for Muslim outreach efforts,” according to a commentary at the Gates of Vienna blog. “Where’s the ACLU on this one?”

The product was being advertised by “Global Publishing Solutions,” a division of the U.S. State Department, until bloggers started talking about it.

Officials then apparently hid the page behind the security of a password-protected wall. However, the page is still viewable in a Google cache of the website.

I don’t know what’s dumber: That the State Department is running what amounts to an endorsement of a religion or that the State Department is in the calendar business.

Or that the State Department apparently owns a publishing outfit.

Maybe if these idiots spent a little less time worried about publishing things and selling calendars and more time doing their jobs the world would be a better place.
