Let me list the reasons why you are a tosser.
1. It's September and you want to put your Christmas decorations up.
2. You believe that Muslims are offended that some people don't think the same as them.
3. You believe that Muslims tried to ban Christmas - although you have no evidence for this.
4. You don't know how to use capital letters. Christmas. Muslim.
5. You don't know how to use apostrophes. Didn't.
I'm sure that if I met you I would find far more reasons.

Sceptic. So the tank joke doesn't work. Get a dictionary.

It is the atheists that want to ban Xmas. It is too early to turn on Christmas lights but if you want to put them on the house before it gets cold or snows that should not be a problem. If you want to have a Christmas display, I think you should wait until Thanksgiving.
As far as Muslims are concerned, they fully believe in Jesus Christ (although not as the son of God). Sura 4:169 Sura 5:17-18 Sura 5:72-73, 5:75 Sura 6:102 Sura 18:4-5 Sura 19:20,34. Sura 19:88-92 Sura 25:2-3 Sura 72:3 Sura 112:1-4 Muslims believe that Jesus is the son of Mary who was a virgin. Qur'an, Surah 3:38-48. He is called Isa bin Maryam. He is also called the Messiah. Masih Isa. Muslims believe that Jesus will come again at the end times to defeat the anti Christ (Dajjal) and to establish a kingdom on earth. Qur'an, Surah 3:38-48. Muslims do not believe that Jesus died on the cross but do believe that he was hung on the cross. Muslims do not celebrate Christmas because they consider it to be a profane celebration.

It was politically correct activists who wanted certain aspects of Christmas banning. Like cards that say Happy Christmas, because they said not all cultures celebrate Christ. They also wanted nativity scenes banning because they depict Jesus as being white, yet being born in the Middle East, he wouldn't have been. Anyway, don't put your decorations up until December, aren't you meant to put them up 12 days before Christmas, and then take them down 12 days after it?

It is far too early for decorations but, unbelievably, I have already seen advent calendars in the supermarket. There is absolutely no reason why Christmas decorations should offend Muslims, Sikhs or even atheists though I do believe that some Christian sects see them as pagan and offensive.

Ha ha ha haaa! No they didn't try to ban Christmas!!! That is sooooo funny. Feel free to put your decorations up but let halloween and other things get out of the way first. It's too early. Try the end of Novemeber at the earliest!

you shoudn't time putting up your xmas lights with how it might offend "the muslims". I'm asuming you're an American and if anything i doubt American muslims would be offended by it in a religous sense. If one were to be offended it would be because it is so dang early. Of course, it's convienent to put them up when it's warmer out, you need to worry more about the tacky factor than wether or not you will offend some religous following that you hardly understand.

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!
I love getting the deckies out.... Life's too short to not make Christmas last as long as possible!!!!!! As to offending the Muslim community... stop worrying.... Tinsel and baubles is hardly a political statement... Just tell the pope not to include christmas decorations in his next public thoughts on world peace!!!!!!!

Don't put them up. It's too early.
But you can put up a Scottish flag to support the UK governing classes instead.
Do not however put up a flag of St George because that is English and offends the Muslims.

Don't know, but I'd have thought it was the too bloody PC politicians that did that. If it was some Muslims, then I'm sure it was a tiny proportion. It's all going mad with that kinda stuff at the mo.
MIND YOU! YES, it's far too early! Dec 1st, that's my opinion! ;o)

Try waiting until after Halloween at least. If they did they have more nerve than I give them credit for. No one has the right to try and ban anything that we want in our homes or on our lawns.
Do what you like.
