The
only people I know who complain or find Christmas offensive..... or want to ensure no one is offended are
WHITE / anglo saxon
I dont know ONE Jew/Muslim/Seikh/buddist that objects.
I wish that "anglo- agnostics/semi-christians" would stop prtesting on other peoples behalf.
The only people (when I first moved ionto my neighbourhood) who actually gave me a card (even though they didnt know me) where 2 muslim famillies and one seikh guy...
The other good (anglo) chistians with the santas iun the window, didnt even bother to wish me..........
my g/f is a muslim, and SHE celebrates christmas, (certainly she respects my points) just as I respect her, (dont eat pork in her presencs), etc etc.
Muslims are actually more tolerant of chrismas trhan white people.... and actually as they do BELIEVE in Jesus, they are actually closer to <><'s that other faiths (ok so they bvelieve he is a prophet)
Have never been, to thoes mid-east places where reportedly they kill/abuse <><'s but in the west there aint a problem
its media hype, and your/out politicians trying to scare the rest of us.
IRAQ---------OIL get the picture
peace out

I find it amazing that Xmas presentations are found "offensive" to some, to me that means that they find the presentation "offensive" as in they're the intolerant ones. If I saw a Jewish, Hindu, Muslim icon I wouldn't find it offensive, in fact, I wouldn't even care. So whom are the intolerant ones? Tim Russert on NBC made an interseting observation that I hadn't considered, and that is that in Iraq, people love their tribes (Sunni, Kurb, ****e) more than they love their country. I think he's right.
