[@thepagan5432]

Muslim or not, people are free to have a choice as to what they do at Christmas. As a Pagan I celebrate yule on 22nd December but have no problem giving Christmas presents to Christian family members. Salah's kids are raised in Britain and it is his right to have Christmas decorations even if he is Muslim.

[@thenumber5bus]

But the tree the presents and some other Xmas associated thing s have nothing to do with Christianity. Some of it has been brought it by other 'traditions' but if you wish to celebrate it then fine same as if ppl wish to celebrate Eid or other religious festivals. Heck a lot seems to celebrate At Patrick's day that are not Irish but I suspect that's don't to getting pissed as an excuse 😁

[@djnitrogaming2170]

Except Islam shouldn’t be recognised as a religion as it has 0 ties to Christianity and Judaism even though they claim it does. It’s been exposed for centuries now but the internet and freedoms in the world are working against Islam and turning people to the truth. Our country has descended into chaos, we have a Muslim as mayor of London it’s a joke

[@thepagan5432]

@thenumber5bus I was in Abu Dhabi years ago, the festival of lights, Diwali, was just finishing. The authorities couldn't get the street decorations down quick enough in case they were used by the Ex-Pats for Christmas. LoL I had to laugh.

[@thenumber5bus]

@thepagan5432 they shoulda just left them up save the hassle. That Indian festival where they cover each other in paint looks fun too. Chinese new year displays are amazing.so much diverse culture and they want to squash most of it
