So, are you suggesting this is really the same sort of thing as "minority" religions seeking to add their "representation" to the list of alternate-side-parking-exemption days here in New York, whether there is any particular need for parking on the days or not?
I think this trivializes the desire to be recognized and respected by one's country through some type of acknowledgement of religious difference. In this regard, it is far more understandable for a minority to seek a minor accomodation as opposed the the annual hysteria over Christmas displays and "seasons greetings" by a majority religion whose religious traditions are overwhelmingly respected and incorporated within the social norm.
