A belated Eid Mubarak, 1st Shawwal 1427H

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Muslims on DP a belated Eid Mubarak on the occassion of Eid al-Fitr (1st Shawwal 1427H) a few days ago (Tuesday, to be exact).

I should point out that for all their talk of "freedom of religion" and "freedom of expression", you will never see Eid al-Fitr being celebrated as a national holiday in any Western nation. That is as opposed to the Muslim nations which allow for holidays such as Christmas or Diwali to be declared as a national holiday

Thats news to me and millions of others. I guess this group of 300 million didn't have a clue that muslim holidays aren't allowed to be celebrated in the states.

Of course, if the celebration involves beheading of infidals, then I could see why.


P.S. is he also the inventor of EID's maybe he should run for pres. (see Gore)

 

Good point

 

No need to project your Islamophobia upon the rest of the Muslim world.

OK, second grade style here:


oh ya you jewophobe!

 

Oh yes "Western nations' are notoriously intolerant of Muslims and their holidays whereas Islamic nations are quite the reverse.

This is why westerners emmigrate en masse there and Muslims don't emmigrate to Europe and the US.

 

Can I use that?

 

hehe a bit delayed bro

Thread merge time.

 

I don't "fear" Jews and I do not think I mentioned anything about Jews here, so don't divert the topic. Red herring argument.

Debunked you just can't help yourself can you? The opening post in this thread did not harm anyone, yet you have to have a dig eh? Does it make you feel big?

 

Which Muslim nations allow Christmas or Diwali to be declared national holidays?

 

I wouldn't have said anything but he had a stupid remark in there about how it can't be celebrated in the west. Go back and read his first post then and tell me he wasn't begging to be answered. The other EID thread had no ill will written in it did it? Did it get ill will back?

 

I am so sorry. What a slight. The horror. Can we still be friends?

 

I heard that non muslims are not allowed to even drink during fasting period in muslim countries., Is that freedom?

 

Well, you "heard" wrong.

Malaysia, for one.

That's interesting, and welcome, news - sincerely, and thank you for the information. Now, you mentioned:

What are the other muslim nations that allow Christmas or Diwali to be celebrated as a national holiday?

 

YOu posted wrong info., it was told by my friend who lives in middle east, where he was not even allowed to drink water during the fasting days in public
