I just came across in the Guardian comment is free section.

I enjoy the free time voer christmas as much as the next person, but its important to not forget our faith and that Christmas - as indicated by the name - is a Christian festival.

You don't see people of other faiths falling over themselves for the need to fit in, so why do Muslims have this inferiority complex?

Have some backbone!

(PS Santa was Turkish)

I don't see anything wrong with taking the opportunity to have a family together but to actually call it christmas - after all intentions are important - and to add xmas trees etc, I feel that's wrong. Unfortunately I think it will become pretty much as common as a every other non Christian observing Christmas in years to come.
