This Muslims recommends putting the Christ back in Christmas


>There’s been a lot of talk recently about the desire to put Christ back in Christmas. As a Muslim, I fully support the idea that religious observances should focus on their intended purpose. Many times cultural traditions end up becoming more important than teachings of the faith. Unfortunately, cultural traditions can become so entwined with religious observances that it becomes difficult to separate them and focus on what the faith teaches.

>Not to say that cultural traditions are a bad thing, but they should be acknowledged for what they are. There should be a healthy balance between religious practices and cultural traditions; and it behooves us to remember how some traditions came to be.

>As someone living in America, who does not practice Christianity, I appreciate when my religion and our holidays are acknowledged. But, while I get excited if I see displays of Islamic items for sale around our holidays, I keep it in the back of my mind that it’s a sales tactic, and I try really hard to make wise choices.

>Muslims have two major holidays. Eid al Fitr (the Holiday of breaking the fast) celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan, a spiritual month of fasting from sunrise to sunset. Eid al Adha (the holiday of the sacrifice), takes place during Hajj season and commemorates the willingness of Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son. The Islamic calendar is based on the cycle of the moon, which means it is 10 days shorter than the solar based Gregorian calendar; therefore, holidays move 10 days from year to year. In recent years our holidays have been in the summer and fall. It’ll be about 20 years before Islamic holidays occur during the winter months again with other holidays.

>There are other historical events that some Muslims observe, for example the birth of Prophet Muhammad. But many Muslims have concerns about celebrating his birth. Aside from the fact that it was not done during his lifetime, there is a fear that celebrating the birth of the Prophet will become sensationalized. What Muslims celebrate is largely determined by their cultural norms, which can cause some tensions when living among Muslims who celebrate differently.

>People within the Christian faith celebrate in different ways as well. My two devout Christian sisters didn’t participate in the Santa Claus tradition with their children. When living in a pluralistic society, it’s important to remember that people celebrate different holidays in different manners. We shouldn’t be offended if people do or don’t say Merry Christmas; we should allow people to do as their faith, their cultural and familial customs dictate, as long as no one imposes one’s own beliefs on others. It’s not about being “politically correct”, it’s about being considerate and recognizing there are other ideologies out there.


>So please put the Christ back in Christmas and remember, as the Grinch who tried to steal Christmas discovered, even without all the trappings, Christmas will still come. Because Christmas, like all religious holidays, is, at its core, a remembrance and appreciation of what God has given us. The best way to show our appreciation is to live our lives the way we are guided to in our perspective faith traditions. Have a Blessed holiday season, however you celebrate.

So Muslims are finally trying to kill Santa? Why am I not surprised...

>one Muslim pandering to fuck knows which group means Muslims are now fully intent and focused on killing santa

wtf based muslims are giving us permission to celebrate christmas let's open the borders for the muslim world now they are based

>This Muslims recommends
didnt even bother reading

To be fair, he was pretty much the one thing left in the West that Muslims were not yet fully intent and focused on killing, so it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Let's put everything back where it's supposed to be. Start with Muslims.

Good luck putting Christ back into Christmas with the fucking Protestants.

With Catholics and Orthodox, you have a chance, as long as they aren't progressive in nature

>Muslims were intent on killing

Oh so it's Muslims that are encouraging faggotry, cuckoldry, transfaggotry, putting children on puberty blockers, making women sluts, promoting abortions, promoting removing genitalia as a good thing, removing family values and promoting feminist ideologies in the West? Got it

So how long ago did you guys become so utterly subhuman that you get triggered over someone essentially saying 'live and let live' ?

Why have you people not killed yourselves already if such small things enrage you?

Wasn't santa originally from Turkey though

>this muslims
did xie worry about assuming ther number?

>putting children on puberty blockers
Source?!

It was Christian before

This shitskin has a point

he isnt wrong. the worst thing that could happen to the ZOG is christians and muslims teaming up for just long enough to fix society.

*she, i assumed her gender

only because he's in a country that allows him to say it.

The primary issue is the way it is being framed. We do not need muslims to approve of our social norms nor do we need muslims push for their acceptance. If you accept the multicultural zeitgeist and think within the framework that it puts forth you have already lost.

>Source?!
how new are you?

how is allowing people to be left alone to do holidays their way "multicultural" are you bisexual because theres a gay guy fucking a dude somewhere right now?

and we do need everyone to accept our social normals because if not then what the hell are you here for.

Smart play. He realises the only thing keeping xmas going is retail. Make it religious, get rid of the buying frenzy and it will be completely gone in a year or two from lack of interest.

Captcha: chancey pozzo

>and we do need everyone to accept our social normals because if not then what the hell are you here for.
We do not want others writing articles about how they approve of our social norms. We do not need others to give their stamp of approval for our social norms. We do not others to accept our social norms. We do not want others to integrate. We want others to go back.

Back. They have to go back. A Muslim writing articles approving of Christmas and being treated as if his opinion is worth anything at all is a travesty.

No, santa ATE turkey, because it was christmas
Durr

>they have to go back
mexicans have to go back, does this ladies christian sisters have to go back too?

This. I’d rather live with shitskins than liberals.

Muslims are all homosexual child predators. So they're in good company with the lgtbraaaapers.

Im sure throwing acid in the face of anyone you dont like, treating women as livestock and having NO intention whatsoever to better yourselves other than spreading and leeching off your host like a virus is a much better strategy. Did I mention your prophet was a pedophile?

Hungarian I think. But possibly Celtic/Pagan earlier than that.
Hogsmannay? Something like that.

Fuck off, nobody cares about (((Christ))) in Xmas(Yule) anymore.

>Wasn't santa originally from Turkey though

In the time of St. Nicholas, there was no such thing as Turkey. It was called Anatolia and it was populated by Hellenic Christians. It only became Turkey after the Seljuk Turks took it over and forcefully assimilated the Anatolians.

Please don't be retarded, streetshitter. Turkey didn't even exist at ol Saint Nichs time. The Turks hadn't even been a blip on the radar yet. Pickling children with jolly Santa is a Roman tradition faget.

Fuck off Norfag. Christmas is the time of year we celebrate Hebrew baby Jesus, Messiah of the Israelites and King of the Jews

She is right you know. Americans destroyed christmas by commercialising it like they always do with everything.
Santa Claus (orig. Saint Nicholas of Myra) for example was a marketing gag by Coca Cola and now the american scum have successfully spread that """tradition"""" all ovee the world.

I love Muslims and the Huffington post now! Thanks 4chin!
