  • In recent days, the governments of two predominantly Muslim nations have warned their citizens not to celebrate Christmas, according to a report published by the Qatar-based Al Jazeera broadcasting agency “All events related to Christmas and New Year celebrations are contrary to Islamic culture, which could damage the faith of the Muslim community,” said the director general of Somalia's religious affairs ministry. Brunei’s non-Muslims are permitted to organize their own Christmas celebrations but are forbidden to disclose them to Muslims, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. Muslims who send Christmas greetings, use Christmas trees or lights, or otherwise take part in Christmas celebrations face up to five years in prison. Brunei, a Southeast Asian nation of 416,000, is 79%, 9% Christian, and 8% Buddhist. There are three Catholic parishes and only 1,900 Catholics. Somalia, located in the Horn of Africa, is nearly 100% Sunni Muslim. There are 100 Catholics and one parish in the nation of 10.4 million. -

  • Why is this seen as a shock? A country that is 100% Muslim won't care about Christmas at all.
    Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary...

  • I was lectured by someone I did not know not to use Merry Christmas
    and use the politically correct Happy Holidays and I still wished him
    a Merry Christmas and he was yelling at me as I walk away.
