A belated Eid Mubarak, 1st Shawwal 1427H

Well I am not living in "the Middle East".

I can think of a number. Indonesia for one.

Then you must rephrase your post as:

 

I can think of a number, too. In fact, I can think of many numbers.

Now, do you have in hand the Islamic states that provide for Christmas and Diwali to be national holidays, or are we going to continue on this silly, sematic merry go round - you indicated "Muslim Nations." Which are they, beyond Indonesia and Malaysia?

 

Any Muslim nation which has a significant Christian minority would have Christmas as a public holiday in one way or another. Now name me a single Western nation which has a significant Muslim minority and has Eid as a national holiday.

Saudi Arabia, for one, outlaws the practice of any religion but Islam; outlawed, much less no
"national holiday" - this, despite the significant minority population actively practicing other religions.

So, as usual, I ask again: Can you name other Islamic states, beyond Indonesia and Malaysia?

 

Probably because there is no significant religious minority there? Duh.

Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Lebanon....

Now name me a single Western nation which has a significant Muslim minority and has Eid as a national holiday.

That is by design... Duh.
