City Council of El Wadi Al Quds bans Easter Bunny

The former City of St. Paul, now El Wadi Al Quds, Minnesota, yesterday banned the public display of the Easter Bunny in state operated buildings so as "not to give offense to 'non-Christians,'" officials explained, making little quote marks in the air with their fingers and winking rapidly.

"Not that we have any particular 'non-Christians' in mind of course. I mean, the thought of bunny stuffing blown into smithereens by a, um, 'non-Christian' suicide bomber, that could happen with someone from any non-Christian religion," Mayor Johnson-Habibi said.

"Wait! I mean, it could be a Christian, too, I didn't mean that, it's just, you know, Christians are less likely to suicide bomb there own religious symbols."

Reached for comment, the bishop of St. Paul, I mean, El Wadi Al Quds, said "They think the Easter Bunny is a Christian symbol? Wow, maybe we've already lost this war. Plus, he can't even spell 'their.'"

In other action taken to avoid offending "non-Christians," the City formerly named for the apostle likely the most important in the foundation of the Christian Church renamed itself El Wadi Al Quds. As far as any city officials know, the city's new name means "The Wadi of the Quds."
