Why do Westerns force christmass on others

[Augustus]

Happy days to U servant of the one1!

Yes go ahead wish everyone u want merry christmass. Iam not policeman lol

Iam just saying some other communities dont celebrate christmass at all.
For example if i was westerner/christian i would wish merry christmass people who might be considered christian/atheist(atheists celebrate christian holidays yet they disbeliever in god) by their appearances.

I suspect atheists of Muslim background often engage in Islamic holy days such as Eid al-Adha and al-Fitr because it's what their family does etc.

Plenty of Muslims do celebrate Christmas anyway, especially Western Muslims.

I actually quite like the idea.

What's the vegan option?

You can have mushroom and pepper kebabs.

I feel we got the short end of the stick here.

In my country Dec 25 is a day off from most jobs or the employers pay extra. Some places pay double. Merry Christmas!

No u dont have to


U are free to celebrate christmass

Yes and you are free to celebrate what ever you want in the western world, would I be upset if you said to me happy Ramadan, of course not, unless I hated Muslims.

 

[Ouroboros]

For example they know u are muslim or buddhist or whatever and still they tell u: merry christmass.
Well i dont want to be the badguy so i just say: happy days to u.
I avoid mentioning christmass.

A lot of people say "Happy Holidays" to include all of them. You can always answer that.

Imagine i say to non-muslim: happy eid day(eid mubarak).

He must be like: what the hell man, iam not muslim.

I wouldn't. People say "Happy Hanuka" and whatever and I just answer "You too!"

I don't get the point of this thread. Isn't the virgin birth of Jesus a miracle in Islam as well which is why he's considered a prophet?

Eid Mubarak or Blessed Eid (Arabic: عيد مبارك‎‎, Bengali: ঈদ মোবারক, Pashto: اختر مبارک‎, Persian/Urdu: عید مُبارک, Sindhi: عيد مبارڪ‎,Malayalam: ഈദ്‌ മുബാറക്‌, Somali: Ciid wanaagsan, Turkish: İyi bayramlar,Tamil: ஈத் முபாரக், Malay: Selamat Hari Raya) is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr. Eid means "celebration" and refers to the occasion itself, and Mubarak means "blessed"; for example, performing the Eid prayer. The celebration continues until the end of the day for Eid al-Fitr and continues a further three days for Eid al-Adha. However, in the social sense people usually celebrate Eid al-Fitr after Ramadan and Eid-al-Adha in the month of Dhul Haj (12th and Final Islamic month), greetings like "Eid Mubarak". Some state this exchange of greetings is a cultural tradition and not part of any religious obligation. However, it is only used during the celebration of the two Muslim holidays.

Why do Islamists wish to push sharia law onto others???????????????

They think it's all wrong though and they're sort of right. Christmas is a combination of Jesus' birth and pagan celebrations. To them the word pagan is horrible.

That would be a great question to ask of some Islamists.

It's polytheism, haven't you learned that by now?

At Christmas people sacrifice trees to their gods and ask advent calendars for intercession. If you say Happy Christmas to someone you might forget what religion you are and end up accidentally worshipping a turkey dinner before the day is out. And don't get me started on the paper crowns and trinkets inside Christmas crackers which are clearly idolatrous.

A one way ticket to hell I tell thee...

Heaven forfend that an Abrahamic religion should have Pagan roots. Good thing Islam has absolutely none of those

When i was sinner, i used christmass to hunt on women. Lots of parties and so on.

Yes its a social thing, but more religious.

Everyone of us is a sinner....
wishing every one a happy Christmas is an expression of love.
There is no reason to be selective about it.
Even Muslims respect Jesus and his teachings. Christmas is in remembrance of his birth.
No one should feel insulted by it.
How can Muslims feel insulted by others respecting the birth of one of their Prophets.

Moslems celebrate various events in the life of Mohammed which for many includes his day of birth.
