Kindly permit my attempt to educate you and many others on this forum:

Saudi Arabia etc are Islamic countries with the state and laws based on the sharia. For this reason, they may not host Christmas carols. This is very wrong from a neutral point of view. It is as wrong as when the only Christian nation in the world, the Vatican, refuses to host Ramadan ending dinner and prayers in its cathedral.

The United States is not a Christian nation. It is a secular state. The founding fathers fled Europe to the new world and fought the war of independence for this very reason; individual freedom from kings and religion. The very constitution of the United States affirms that there shall be no state religion and thus the laws of America forbids government promotion of one religion above another.

Islamic traditions has been regarded in the White House since the 18th century, since the Islamic kingdom of Morocco became the first country to recognise the USA's independence and accept their embassy long before European nations did. Same way, all Christian festivities and Jewish traditions have been respected by the White House since then.

That you celebrate Trump's reversal of an age old tradition reveals your bigotry even thou you don't know that you are a bigot.

America became great by being all inclusive home for all dreamers irrespective of race, creed and ethnicity. Trump may jolly well be the end of America by reversing all of the well thought out principles of the founding fathers and the many good leaders America has had in time past.

Christmas celebration is even banned in Saudi.

I don't know why that gross hypocrite gberra failed to factor this before rushing to comment nonsense here
What you don't know is killing you, do all Christians celebrate chrismas despite their believe in Jesus. How many christian fast during lent period but when comes to celebration you people will be defending poo. I can tell you boldly that Muslims in the world are more unite and understand Christianity than Christian. How may Muslims in the world pray more than five times daily, we all know Islam is based on five pillar. Can you tell me only one tradition that unite Christianity in the world except following congregations pastor tradition.

this is the only kind of topic that i read on here lately Religious sentiments, tribalism and hatred amongst nigerians. yet they claim to be one nigeria.

from all the comments on here it's clear that religion is the biggest problem the world has. I think it's time religion is banned in all works of life, religion has done more harm than good.

What makes it a Christian country constitutionally?

Compare it with a Christian country like Israel and the United Kingdom who constitutionally recognise Christianity. Or Nigeria who symbolically depict Islam in his National currency and symbols.

You made zero sense as usual.

There are millions of American Muslims and many more serving in congress, military and all the way down to day to day American fabric so they deserve to be celebrated like other religions.


Islam is the third largest religion in the United States after Christianity and Judaism

President Thomas Jefferson hosted an Iftar dinner at the White House in 1805 so Trumps rubbish is just rubbish and abnormality, it's un-American and discriminatory.
The bold shows the arrogance of an average muslim who demands that his religion
must be respected wherever he goes, who cares if Islam is the largest religion in the united states ?

America constitution guarantees freedom of religion, it neither mandate nor encourage the government to
sponsor religion.
Jefferson was acting on his personal not a constitutional requirement, there is nothing
unAmerican nor discriminatory about Trump not celebrating Ramadan.



And the fact that you kind share such discriminatory sentiments is nothing new especially considering the fact that many of you were raised with hatred, bitterness and religious bigotry is nothing new so you are allowed to exhibit hatred, bitterness and religious bigotry.


Are you unaware that the biggest bigots(head chopping terrorists) are found in Islam ?
When your creed involves dominating others don't expect to be welcomed or tolerated.

Loser we are the home of the free and the land of the brave, we should not be in the same level of bulllshit with these oppressive state. Little wonder in the commity of nations we lecture nations on human rights and upholding democracy.
The bold is ironic considering the role of America in world politics
and the infamous slave trade.
Being irreligious shouldn't make you naive to the politics of survival,
that you can post what you think is as a result of foresight of America's
founding fathers who understand that a dominating religion should be
a personal matter and not have influence on governance.

Though you may not know it, you are indirectly contributing to the Jihadist's
goals of dominating the world.

The Muslims and Arabs are far from conquering the world. They can only try all they are doing but it will be to no avail. You can't be a world leader if you are not in the technology an innovation scene. America, China and likes will be on top because they are by far leading in innovation. Good, these Islamic countries have been able to gather wealth from high crude oil price but sadly, Oil is loosing it's value by the day. I doubt it will last 30 years being the world's "No 1" commodity. Shale oil which is the result of innovation is going to keep bringing the prices low. If Allah couldn't give these folks foresight and wisdom to prop up oil price, I don't think the wisdom to conquer the world will be available

Well, you can join us for Lent and celebrate Easter with us, only that you argue that Jesus was not nailed to the cross ,worsening it by claiming it was Judas who was crucified; so I guess you won't wanna celebrate Easter neither.

Why are christians so hateful?! cry
They are no better than the muslims
With so much hate in their(christians) blood, they will gradually have a mindset of a terrorist if care is not taking. undecided
No hate is greater than that of a man who wants your head because you reject his belief.
Who could be more hateful than a man who enters market and blow himself up because
his god told him so ?

Islam is the fastest and most practiced religion in Africa and most of the world
Of course, having unlimited number of children makes Islam the fastest,
don't also forget that Islam has the largest segment of poverty stricken adherents
among the world's religions.

, christians should deal with it and stop acting like an immature overgrown baby like trump undecided

Islam is going to take over, I just know it because of the kind of discipline and devotion muslims have for their religion, unlike christians that are really slacking behind with their religion; no discipline, no devotion and little faith especially when it comes to the Christian youths.

By the time Islam take over, you won't even be qualified to use the internet,
because you only belonged to the kitchen or bedroom.

Here is what you will look like by then.
