Not signing. Muslims can take the day off if they want but there's no reason it should be made a national holiday when this country doesn't have an Islamic heritage.

No. Nothing should be done to normalise Islam in this country.
If anything we should be changing the religious holiday to secular ones but as they part of the history of the country I understand why it is the way it is.
That wouldn't really make much sense considering how small the Chinese population is. Muslims on the other hand are 5% of the total population.
Christian country founded on Christian law. If Muslims want Muslim holidays and Muslim-compatible laws, maybe they would be better served by living in a Muslim country?
Why would you sign this if you're non-Muslim??? Christmas is a traditional celebration due to Britain's Christian's roots (even though we're more of secular nation now) . Eid isn't so should not be a national holiday. Tbh I'm not even sure what Eid is.

Google 'Eid'
and if you have a strong constitution add the word 'slaughter'
this alone should be reason to not accept this as a 'holiday' in the UK
They should get the day off without having to use up their annual leave. Its their religious festival why should they have to go to work on that day. My uncles always have to go to work on Eid and its not fair
No, this is utterly pointless. Only 4.5% of the UK's population is muslim. Are you saying that everyone has to observe this holiday which so few people believe in?
The proportion of the population which is muslim is rapidly rising. IIRC, over 10% of births are muslim, and Muhammed is the most popular baby name. They are a significant enough proportion of the population that we have to make some concessions, at the very least, otherwise we will just foster tensions like we are seeing in the US, France, Belgium, and other countries
bro us muslims can't even decide what day Eid will be never mind making into a national holiday it's never on the same day so they won't go ahead with this...

And even if it was on the same day, it's an idiotic idea anyway.
