Tesco christmas advert features Muslims celebrating it.

And what exactly would that achieve?

No idea what you're talking about. I mentioned the qur'an because there's a misconception that muslims will integrate with none muslims. Faithful muslims will not do that.

Absolute nonsense. N o n s e n s e. Christmas in the UK is barely religious and is the most commercialised ‘festival’ in the western world. It’s about getting together with the family to spend time and eat good food. Share gifts with one another and to just relax. How often do you hear of people saying thanks to God before eating their Christmas meal?

Let me tell you, it’s not many. I’m an atheist and I still take part in the festivities, because, due to commercialisation it’s not religious and is more a part of our culture as a people and our identity as a family. We all have traditions and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong in embracing that. Also, it is of note that Christ is believed to be a prophet of God in Islam, so what’s the harm in celebrating his birthday as a Muslim? There isn’t any.

You write as if you’re a Muslim, if you are and you’re offended by this then you really need to find a better use of your time. Goodness me.

Nonsense.

Not entirely nonsense.
To the majority of "cultural" Muslims, joining in with the seanonal festivities is not an issue. However, there is the vocal minority who will not only reject such behaviour, but censure their fellow Muslims who don't do the same.
All you have to do is go onto TSR ISOC and ask if it's ok to celebrate Christmas with non-Muslims and see what kind of response you get!

I will NEVER shop in tesco again

I just wanted to mention that you should really check over that again and again. Yes its comparing to the Kuffars, however its something more sinister than that. Please check it again and dont bring random verses of the Holy Quraan in threads which have nothing got to do with them.

Thank you.

As has already been said, it's up to them what they celebrate, but the blanket statement that muslims cannot or will not take part is nonsense. That's my main point here I think.

Peace? Harmony? Tolerance?
The less "different" we feel, and perceive others to be, the more of the above there will be.
It really is quite simple.
Merry Xmas, Eid Mubarak and Happy Hanukkah!
You don't have to have a drink if I don't have to rape a slave. Happy?

Course but to constantly put Islam down and in the frame for the wrong reasons would not bring about Peace Harmony and Tolerance.

You forgot Happy Diwali.

I dont drink anyways so thats flawed.

So as long as it is for the right reasons, we're ok?

I was sticking to the Abrahamics, otherwise we could have been here all day - but yes, right back atcha.

And I won't expect you to.

And what exactly would that achieve?

You mean the hijab wasn't a big enough give away lol?

You know you shouldn't be using that word as it's banned on TSR.

Even the CT said it in your own ISOC thread before you tell me I'm making things up

I'm just saying that it's nice to see some Muslims who aren't as dogmatically strict and rigid as expected.

I get your point, but what's wrong with Muslims being on the advert? Christmas is a religious festival and yet as an atheist, I celebrate it. If atheists celebrate Christmas and Easter, then why can't Muslims? Please don't tell me you're actually worked up over an advert.

This is great.

A big company attempts to display their support of cultural diversity but the group it displayed gets triggered over it.

The majority of people complaining about it are non-Muslim.
