Salaams,
I'm Muslim who was born in America ( and I live in America).
I notice that many Muslims from the Middle East and India living in America are now celebrating Christmas.
I was raised Muslim in America, and I grew up knowing that Christmas is a Christian holiday all about the worship of Jesus as "god" and the "son of God". My family did not allow anyone to give me gifts when I was growing up, and my family explained that we are Muslims and we dont celebrate Christmas. Now, I see Muslims buying trees, taking their kids to the mall to take pictures with Santa Claus and everything!
Although I respect the right of Christians to celebrate Christmas of course--it surprises me to see MANY Muslims now beginning to celebrate it. WHY are you doing this???
(I Know people say its because they want to buy their kids gifts but come on: This is teaching kids the WRONG things, dont you think? )
