"By stripping the names Christmas, Easter, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, they have alienated other communities now, and we are no closer to equality," Saqib Ali, a former Maryland state delegate and co-chair of the Equality for Eid Coalition, told the Post.

I think he's dead on. You sure you read that correctly? What's your reasoning for saying he's wrong?

He says that removing those religious holidays brings them "no closer to equality".

Adding all religious holidays would be equal.

Removing all religious holidays is also equal.

Keeping some religious holidays but not others is not equal. So they are now "closer to equality".
