MONROVIA – Bomi County Senator Edwin Melvin Snowe says he has been threatening text messages due to his legislative advocacy for three religious holidays two of which would benefit people of the Islamic faith. As a member of the Legislature with more years of experience, Snowe said, “I have been in this job for over 16 years, I am not intimidated easily. I understand the passion in which some of our brothers in the Christian community speak from and it’s their rights; I don’t fault anyone for expressing their rights but I also want them understand that where their rights end is where mine begins. “Where the rights Christianity end is where the rights of Islamic starts. In 2020, a group under the banner, the Movement for Islamic Holidays in Liberia called on the Legislature to pass into law two major Islamic festivals – Eid al-Fitr, known as Ramadan Day and Eid al-Adha also called Abraham day as national holidays.
