How come so many people were upset by a Muslims woman giving a speech at Christmas?

Question

I am a Muslim.

I don't get it, maybe because I never saw it. I have heard it was just a Christmas message, maybe like the Queen's speech.

So what? I know I haven't seen it maybe you could tell me what was said. It seems like a nice? thing to do. Say something about Christmas even though its not part of your religion?

Why were people offended? Isn't this the media trying to demonise groups? Thye like to cause ill feeling between people.

I know there are some very bad Muslims who did very bad things but don't people realise that that its always the 'other' in society that gets blamed for everything? Asylum seekers, Jews, Muslims, foreigners, the homeless, druggies etc etc.

I know all the terrorists were Muslims but are we going to be blamed for the Suffolk murders next? The fact that Bradford is the worst place to send your kid to school? (Actually it is the Pakistanis fault! They should teach kids English if they want to live here!!) It's alright I'm one!

Answer 1

Discrimination! just like a few days ago, some people were outraged when a new U.S senator chose to swear his oath using th koran not the bible. I mean if they had enough brains, they could only conclude that he had to do so, an oath using the bible would have been useless.

Ignorance and discrimination, you are totally right.
