GreetingsCorrect me if I am wrong but it seems like you are indirectly blaming Muslims in this post. I believe the problem is somewhere else. Besides I think Christmas ornaments is more of a 'traditional' thing than 'religious'. I dont believe it should offend anyone. Even if it is considered religious, I don’t think people should have a problem with it either.
These things actually create more hostility between different cultures. If they really were thinking of supporting Muslim beliefs witht his ban, they are actually doing the exact opposite. This thread supports what im saying too.
I read in the news a few days back that a Muslim group here in Britain spoke out against the banning of Christmas decorations for exactly that reason: they fear it will add to already existing tensions.
Unfortunately I cannot find any web links for this ... :rollseyes
Personally, I have no overly strong feelings about Christmas decorations.
The true meaning of Christmas should be reflected in the hearts and attitude of Christians.
It is a time when Christians remember
- The promises of Jesus' birth in the Old Testament
- The birth, life and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus
- The promise of his second coming
Peace
