Fine line Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Silly handringers dont want to use the word Christmas in case it alienate's Muslims, but Muslims think this is a total joke, they know this country celebrates Christmas and they respect that and dont feel alienated at all.

Rich Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 who calls it the holidays? The PC Brigade, they can't call it Christmas, because they don't want to upset non-Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank ryan Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Am I the only one who objects the Christmas now being called "The Holidays". have'nt we enough Americanisation????? in the uk 'the holidays' means the school holidays, in particular the summer ones - perhaps it has a different meaning on your planet. someone will , no doubt, blame this non existent problem on muslims or the EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
