That is the problem ,I tried to explain this thing that it is wrong to celebrate xmas on anayah blog and as always the liberal marzouq and fonzy got pissed as hell .I am glad that at least some muslims have some knowledge of why one should not wish christmas to others.Mark,you are christian and you have full right to follow your religious values but asking us to do may not be the right thing.

Some of us so called progressive muslims are going to sell your selves to others too just to be show that you are a part of the main stram.
arablonder- You have definitely put the right stuff for everybody to see.Let me use the reference from Quran for all of you guys.
Surah 19-Verse 88-89
“And they say: “The Most Beneficent (AllÃ¢h) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews
say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of AllÃ¢h, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)
>>], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)].”
“Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.”

Now tell me how can you greet christmas greeting to non-muslims when this is the worst thing you have uttered.If any of muslims still thinks its ok ,then Allah be with you and guide you in the right direction.

Mark and Nat and everyone else out there whatever your religion may be: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Happy Eid and for k the kuwaiti Happy Kwanzaa!
I cant believe that in this day and age monkeys can get away with putting up posters like that.I swear,while the rest of the world is progressing,us arabs are totally regressing back to cave men days with beards and all!

Say I tell people not to say happy christmas to others…it doesn’t make me an Islamist extremist! I could be a Jew - who doesn’t believe in Jesus - and not want my kids to “believe in Jesus or Christmas” and so teach them not to say it!
Not saying Happy Christmas doesn’t mean that they are going to kill Christians…it just means they don’t believe in Christmas…and that it is an insult to their beliefs and intelligence to do otherwise. Why? Because:
1) Jesus was not born on that day.
2) They don’t celebrate the Prophet Muhammad’s bday, so why should they Jesus (and they believe in both)
3) Christmas is “the celebration of the birth of the son of God”. Muslims believe God does not have any human attributes whatsoever…thus he does not become a father.
4) Jesus was not born in a manger (Muslims believe)
5) Muslims do not believe there were three kings/Magi who came from afar etc…
And the actual concept of not congratulating is a very normal thing…
I mean talk about stupidity when I see some of the comments the more “open-minded” kuwaitis wrote! Big deal, I am happy for Christians to be happy - but why should I say something I don’t believe in?!

2 Facts:
1- Islam don’t celebrate the birth of Mohamed its “haram” to celebrate any event except the 2 “Eids”, birthdays of prophets or people is strictly “haram”, even though its a national holiday.

2- Christians do believe that jesus is “the son of god” and they celebrate the day god had a son AKA the “merry Christmas” phrase and so on.

i think if Muslims decide not to say that phrase because they are only doing what there religion told them to do and there not being “insensitive” or anything .

thats like saying if you don’t eat pork you’re not being “sensitive” to other Christians.

hope that helps…
