Nah, youre missing the point yourself.

You stated that a Muslim decorating his house for Christmas is "very strange" and I simply outlined all the reasons why it is far from that, given the context.

You said that "being English doesnt stop him from being a Muslim" without acknowledging the fact that being a Muslim equally doesnt necessarily stop him from being English! The issue of cultural assimilation doesnt go away just because its not convenient for your argument.

The language you used was accusatory in tone. Of course it is not surprising that some people would find his actions offensive but you went off the point talking about blasphemy and idolatry in a bid to justify their offence, which was not necessary. If youre not a Muslim defender then what was the essence of saying all that?

Now, youre saying its "something [I'm] pretending is difficult to understand" when the point was not that they were offended; the point was you talking about "crossing lines" and using language suggesting that he was culpable on the sole basis of being a Muslim celebrating a "Christian" festival when such is not the case.

Someone should give me Matteo Messi meme !!

The last sallah celebration was funny.

I came out and greeted my Hausa neighbour that faithful day,and I said,happy sallah.

The guy was provoked for a Christian to greet him that way and since then I send them again.

Imagine the deformity of his mind.?
We can never have 'one Nation' when religion has successfully separated us!!!

I can tell you for a fact that muslims are more tolerant than Christians

Muslims visit churches than Christians visiting mosques
Muslims wish people merry Christmas than Christians wishing muslims happy eid mubarak
Christians would never accept muslim telling them to dump their religion and god and follow Allah is they want to make it to heaven like they do on the roads, buses, uninvited house visitation etc
Muslims will party with christians during Christmas but Christians would instead tell their Muslim friends their celebration is sacrificial so they cant be part of it.

The bigotry and hypocrisy in their camp of christianity is legendary

I was born and brought up in the core north and there is nothing you can tell me about Islam that i don't know about, infact relation of mine converted to Islam. But i must say this will all truth that you're biace with the statements you made above.

Gosh! What a pack of lies! If you invite a Muslim to church now he will refuse to enter but will still try to invite you for khutbah programme, you are not serious

This is the only part of your post that has some element of credibility because I dont often witness Muslims outside doing Dawah, the rest of it is just sentimental mewling.

Except Khan is an atheist, there are limits to "assimilation". Jews have lived in Europe and the West for hundreds to thousands of years and maintained a distinct ethno-religious identity. Nobody expects Orthodox Jews to erect Christmas trees in their houses during Christmas. There was nothing "accusatory" cos I didn't accuse Khan of anything. I said his actions are strange for a high profile Muslim and showed why his peer Muslims would find his actions anathema to their culture and obligations.
This is not a consequential argument so I'm pretty much wasting my time here.

Are the so-called "hypocrites" of the southwest indicative of the entire Nigerian sample or even Christians worldwide?

Everybody knows that mainstream Muslims are leading when it comes to intolerance, even the enlightened ones

Yes, you are definitely wasting your time if you can't understand that an orthodox Jew whose very existence is totally anathema to anything concerning the birth of Christ is totally different from a second generation Sufi Muslim lmao have a wonderful day Sir

Sweet people
Christian is.....
"THINK NOT I COME TO BRING PEACE TO EARTH, BUT SWORD "
MATTEW 10 :34.

37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
The one key element in this lengthy passage is the word "sword," and its meaning is now clear. It indicates that following Jesus in his original Jewish society may not bring peace to a family, but may "split" it up, the precise function of a metaphorical sword. Are his disciples ready for that? This kind of spiritual sword invisibly severs a man from his father, and daughter from her mother, and so on (Micah 7:6). Given Jesus’ own family resistance early on (they later came around), it is only natural he would say that no matter what the cost, one must follow him to the end, even if it means giving up one’s family. But this applies only if the family rejects the new convert, not if the family accepts him in his new faith; he must not reject them, because the whole point of Jesus’ advent is to win as many people to his side as possible, even if this divides the world in two, but never violently.

Furthermore, we can reference the larger textual context in the Gospel of Matthew. In the Garden of Gethsemane, during the hour when Jesus was betrayed and arrested, Peter struck off the ear of the servant of the high priest in order to protect his Lord. But Jesus tells him to stop.

Matthew 26:52-53 says:

52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (NIV)

Jesus denounces violence to accomplish the will of God—at least as Peter imagines the will of God. Then Jesus says that he has more than twelve legions of angels at his disposal. He did not come to crush the Roman Empire. Instead, he willingly lays down his life and dies for the sins of the whole world. Will it accept this wonderful gift?

Now we can appeal to even a much larger textual context. The non-literal interpretation of the sword is confirmed by a parallel passage in the Gospel of Luke.

It is no problem to me as many of my friends are muslims and some have been my friend since 1999. They visit me for Christmas and i visit them for the salah celebration. I even have one of my sisters married to a muslim. Love an tolerance is all we need.
