Ignorant people, you don't know Muhammed Salah the Egyptian liverpool play, who is an Arab and you are talking trash.

The Arabs take you people blacks as slaves both on earth and Jannah.

Muslims are the ones worshipping idol, the arab black stone pagan god, we didn't avoid greeting you people and you guys just come up with stop haram which your profake did not write in quran.

Show us the surah in quran where your pedophile prophet said you should not greet non Muslims during their festival. If you do I will convert to Islam.

All these Islamaphobes. Why come on a muslim forum to insult unless you are insecure. So because Mo Salah celebrates xmas, all muslims should follow him blindly? We follow the teachings of the Quran and not a man. Don't judge the religion by the actions of few but by its teachings.
Problem is that many people are ignorant about Islam and look for any thing to hate.
Will shock them to know that Islam is growing worldwide.

As your lunatic prophet mohammed was a rapist and penising helpless 6 year old aisha, will you also emulate him or is it your demonic allah that promised every terrorist 72 virgins that he already fingered that you will follow, which amongst them you chronic hypocrites?

Lying for Muhammad as usual

Muhammad ordered dogs to be killed for no reasons

Sahih al-Bukhari 3323
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that the dogs should be killed.

Muhammad promised to expel Christians from the Arab peninsula:

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1606
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If I live - if Allah wills - I will expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula."

Muhammad said Muslims should not greet Christians, Muhammad promoted hate:

Sahih Muslim 2167 a
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.



We are not angry after all many of us don’t eat your Ram you kill during Eid Al-Adha because it’s a meat sacrificed to idol, just like the ogun worshippers sacrifice dogs to Ogun

Oh really? Do u know that ram killing was done during the time of Abraham? Its in d bible too! Lastly all what u quoted not from reliable source cos look Dubai as an example.
At the end of the day if Christians especially the ones in Naija do what Jesus(pbuh) did there will just minute different between Muslims and Christians.
Search for knowledge so that u can be free Allah=God, na just language cos xtian in Arab countries b4 prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came, they've been referring to God as Allah! Cos its just Arabic word!!!!!! English speakers call a lot of being Gods that's why Muslims stick only to use Allah as God cos there won't be confusion!!!!!!!!

They do not because they feel inferior. Everything about the world they live in is non-Muslim, even this forum. Yet they have to make use of them because they can't recreate such in their backward religion or impose theirs on the rest of the world. It takes only a superior idea to defeat another.
That said, Christmas and New year celebrations are bigger than any other celebration in mankind's existence. This fact breeds hate and jealousy especially among terror-inclined Muslims.

Similarly, Muslims are forbidden to imitate the kuffaar by having parties on such occasions, or exchanging gifts, or giving out sweets or food, or taking time off work, etc

By this, it implies that all Muslims who stayed off work for the Christmas holidays have committed haram and are no longer fit for Al-Janna.

No doubt, we have friends, teachers and colleagues among non-Muslims. We engage and collaborate when it comes to worldly affairs. We congratulate them on their success. We have a lot of non-Muslim teachers we respect a lot - we benefitted a lot from them in terms of knowledge and experience. We do not sever our relationship with them.

In essence, Islam enjoys being good to all the creatures of Allah, whether a Muslim or non-Muslims (including the animals).

But when it comes to the issue of religion and beliefs, Muslims are encouraged not to compromise. In Islam (as it is available in other religions/beliefs), there are red lines we shouldn't cross (which are things we are prohibited from doing) and one of them is celebrating any festival (not only non-Muslim festival) not recognized in Islam. This is not limited to non-Muslim festivals but other innovated festivals in Islam, such as Mawlud Nabiyy, Islamic Calendar, etc (you see I have made some threads condemning these too).

Based on the above premise, the below thread gives an account of what Islam says about non-Muslims festivals and why Muslims should not partake in them.




If you are a non-Muslim reading this and you have friends who do not send you wishes during the festival, I hope you will understand this and not think your friends do not care about you. Also, I hope you won't tag those Muslims as extremists and bigot because of this.

Also those like salah who choose to felicitate with Christians Muslims should stop attacking them... It's a matter of choice... Some Christians don't even celebrate Xmas self so I don't see why it should be a big deal whoever choose to Celebrate na choice and those who no wan celebrate should stop attacking those who celebrate...

Mo sallah didn't celebrate Christmas he only took a picture with his family and congratulate Christians. He didn't goto church or anything Its just a picture
so why e de pain you religious extremist then?? We have Christians who don't celebrate Xmas and no fuse about it... If any Muslim choose to celebrate let Allah be the judge and not you are any Muslim who wanna be more Mohammedic than Mohammed...

Hopeless hypocrites. You'll understand the folly of the stupidity and crass hypocrisy in their quest to head to the West instead of the Arab countries either for studies, leisure or escapism. Why don't they run to Iran, Afghanistan or even Saudi Arabia? No, they prefer UK France Canada, the same environment they despise and hate their ways of life. Abhorrent Zombies. #Spit

Your prophet said you should marry 4

Christians marry 1

Common sense.

No they are just doing it same as prophet Abraham did! Sharing meat is just a gesture not to give to ur neighbour their nuttin hidden behind it. Try to read English Quran to understand ur bible even better! Search for knowledge cos if u are serving Almighty God u won't have fear to read Quran cos Almighty God will protect u against any evil!

Peace be upon us all.
There are different opinions on this issue, don’t let us keep arguing back and forth about it.
They just said the rules above about the festival celebrations based on what he/she believed. The facts that it is being share or discussed here doesn’t make it a mandate for you to believe the same, it your choice and you’re not answerable to anyone about what you do or believe in except your maker the Almighty.

Your Lord knows best.
