Why Dont Christians Celebrate Eid El Kabir/ Eid Al Adha by snthesis(m): 8:11pm On Nov 16, 2011
Prologue:
Recently, was having one of my favorite pastimes- a hot plate of poundedyam (not poundo-yam angry ), egusi soup,freshfish, goatmeat all washed down with a bottle of ice cold Gulder cheesy. i entered battlefront calculative- d enemy was to be defeated piece-meal,
so i attacked the bowl of pounded yam with d hot egusi soup (it was quick and fast- it stood no chance tongue ), rampantly ravaged d freshfish, and prepared to meet d Baus-initially assesment/intelligent reports stated that it was a tough fortress-d viable solution was to simultaneously divide, triturate to conquer, it was ginormous battle , as d meat wasnt properly braised as such refused to go down without a fight, grin, i fought relentlessly, was badly scarred in the process with pieces of meat stuck inbtw my teeth, i thot flushing the blouidy civilians with d criminally cold Gulder would do d trick - however after a few gulps - i was hit wit a "divine" revelation.

The revelation:
my fellow muslim brethren recently celebrated Eid El Kabir/ Eid al Adha, and it suddenly struck me -how come Chritians dont celebrate this feast , especially when both religions have almost the same rendition of the miracle that occurred.

so my ppl why dont christians celebrate Eid El Kabir/(ofcourse Christians can choose to call it another name)? shouldnt this be like a focal point in unifying both faiths without one seeing the other as infidels undecided or is this the feast that divides the two faiths

Let the Muslims acknowledge the importance and reason for Easter, believe it and celebrate it
We'll know what to do from there

u dont get my point, its like two men fighting quarelling for years only to discover much later that they have the same father- this should/would by itself bring about reconcilliation
