muslims parents upset over easter egg-, page-6

Majed ought to return to his point of origin if he feels so threatened by a primary school handout for an Easter egg hunt and invitation to attend church in a traditionally Christian country. That is hardly a threat to his own choice of religion.

Funny thing is that plenty of Muslims also like to celebrate Christmas and join in the gift giving celebration.

"In Iran, where hundreds of thousands of Christians live, the celebration of Christmas is commonplace for even non-Christian residents of Tehran. An Iranian Christian pastor recently suggested that “Iranian Muslims have put Jesus back in Christmas.” A few years ago, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad even sent an open message to the world’s Christians and congratulated them on the birthday of the “messenger of love and friendship.”"

Of course this is not to say that many Muslims are not opposed to the Christian celebration's of Easter and Christmas, however in a so-called multicultural nation to which Majed has chosen to live, he should at least show the courtesy of respecting the American Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion.
