:?
please can someone explain to me why this thread is on this forum? When did we become a non Muslim forum? Its a pagan festival or some of you forgotten that?
A good read for those that lack knowledge in this area
I think the question is over if we can celebrate Christmas or not, NOT over whether we can wish others a happy celebration.
Not sure where the line is though.

Iran's Ahmadinejad to give alternative Christmas message
...Channel 4's "alternative" Christmas Day broadcast is to be delivered by President Ahmadinejad of Iran.
Mr Ahmadinejad's speech will go out at 7.15pm, four hours after the Queen's traditional Christmas Day message is broadcast on the main channels. His message is a spiritual one ...

But that image is just so easy to twist. A perfect expression telling people exactly what to do.

The idea of a white Christmas may seem magical for many of us, but spare a thought for a team of scientists forgoing the festive season to take part in a novel campaign being carried out in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth to support ESA's CryoSat mission.
German scientists from the Technical University of Dresden and the Alfred Wegener Institute are spending up to four months venturing out onto the vast frozen reaches of what is known as the 'blue ice' region near the Russian Novo airbase in Dronning Maud Land in Antarctica. The aim is to take very accurate measurements of the surface topography, both from the air and on the ground to contribute to the validation programme for CryoSat-2.

Iran's President Ahmadinejad sents his greeting to Christians on the birth of Jesus.
On Christmas Day, Iranian leader told British people that Jesus would have opposed Downing Street.
He said Christ would also have hated international bullies like United States.
Ahmadinejad said Jesus would fight the "imperialist west".
Iran claims "Christ would have been on our side".
President of Iran claimed that "Christ would have rallied against any global superpower who sees fit to occupy or bully other nations or send troops to expand their power".
Many people think that he stole the show on Christmas.

Is Christmas a Pagan Festival?
May Allah(swt) keep us ALL on the straight path and save us from the shataans whispers.

There were 3 contending speeches:
The Queen, Archbishop and Ahmadinejad.
No prize for guessing who was Man of the Match.
Gordon Brown was pissed.
