Would you be OK with stores decorating for a muslim festival? | |

Quoting: tardrat 29251007 Would you tolerate little 'birth of the prophet' scenes, crescent moons atop palm trees, banners in Arabic proclaiming the prophet muhammed's divinity, etc. or would you be pissed? Hmm? Well I guess that would depend on if I were in their country or not. In a muslim country they are perfectly entitled to do as they wish without concern about my tolerance level. And when people are in a majority Christian country they can just mind their own business in the same way. |

The places I have been that are ran by Muslims are already highly decorated in their culture and beliefs... If I was offended I would not enter their store. Tit for Tat I am a HelpTard, need Help?

Christmas is a part of our heritage .... just like Muslim holidays are in Saudi Arabia Do you think that the Saudis should have up Christmas decorations and nativity scenes on every street corner and inside of every dept store? I don't .... quit making a big deal out of trivial things |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29247456 12/07/2012 12:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm asking this as a non christian who has to be exposed to mass cult nonsense. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29251007 So it's a hypothetical question. Would you as a christian mind all the muzzie guff all over the place? Okay, seriously, the fact of the matter is that they are FREE to decorate their shops as they wish in both the U.S. and Canada, cause we're cool like that. If I needed something that was in one of their shops, I could find no where else, then, of course, I'd shop. It's not any different than the China Towns we have who decorate with their own heritage and we find it cool and different, like we were visiting their homelands. I was being facetiousness in that they do not honour anyone else to be this free in their heritage and beliefs. So, because I am all about freedoms, I would have no problem with them decorating their shops with their heritage and beliefs in mind. Maybe they need little Muslim Towns. |

Its usually centered around good dates. Look up what the "seven s-things" are that go on the table for Now Ruz (Spring New Year). Goldfish, coins and green herbs are some. Bet you might see a display this spring. |

But FYI NowRuz is more Zorastrianism and related to Persian peoples of old than islam. To answer your question:I would be offended.But for different reasons. Because it would mean that the muslims have turned a religous event into a shopping spree just like Christmas.And we have enough of that shit. Calling Christmas a religious holiday is just excess crack smoking. The Pope says Dec 25th was not Christs B-Day. The Xmas tree are pagan Santa was developed in the 1820s based on the concept of St Nicholas and the Norse god Odin. And I have yet to find a version of the Gospel where Santa visits Jesus in his crib with reindeer and elves. Lets not even get into rabbits laying eggs near the time of NowRuz. --the Zorastrian New Year,a time of new beginings and rebirth. Those of you who take religion too seriously should really spend a few hours researching how they are all related. Religion is big business.Nothing more.
