Aren't they great Holiday's? Shouldn't it not be about religion? Shouldn't everyone get to do this?

For muslims, celebrating someone else's holiday is fine as long as the religious aspects are left out...like Christmas...exchange gifts, enjoy the family meal, give glad tidings and charity as you like....but we dont participate in the prayers etc and everyone knows why....
Holloween really has no religious aspect to it anymore regardless how it came about....its all just fun and games so there doesnt seem to be a problem for muslims to join in the fun....Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what you have....and everyone should participate in that....but not just once a year it should be every day..........but everyone sees and believes their own way so to each his own.

Firstly, Muslims do believe in Jesus so for those who posted this is why Muslims do not celebrate Christmas your wrong. Muslims do not celebrate Christmas because they believe Jesus(pbuh) was a prophet and not the son of GOD. Thanksgiving is more of an American holiday. As for Halloween this is a pagan holiday. Muslims do celebrate Two Eids. Muslims do not stop anyone from celebrating what they want. In fact I live in a Muslim country and there are Christan's here and they celebrate Christmas.

Nope- they are irrelevant to Jews. Why on earth would we want to celebrate a pagan festival and the holiday of another religion? I do know Jews in the USA who celebrate Thanksgiving- but for those outside of the US- we have no reason to celberate it, just as we have no reason to celebrate the other days.
But when it comes to getting family and friends together- we have plenty of occassions to do that! Every week, on the Shabbos, families sit down and enjoy time together. On Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (The Feast of weeks), Sukkoth (Tabernacles), Rosh Hashanah (The New Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Purim and Channukah all have large festive meals where families come together and spend time with each other (Out typical Friday night table has 18-25 people, Pesach last year we had 40 people for the Seder!)

Thanksgiving is an American National holiday, and could be celebrated by everyone. The other two, holloween and christmas are attached to different religions, and for people with strong religious convictions, the idea of celebrating someone else's holy day may be a little hard to stomache.
Do you celebrate Passover? Yom Kippur? How bout Ramadan or Eid ul-Adha?

Thanksgiving to God is always to be done to relgious groups but for the halloween and christmas is for the catholics only. Those are not biblical and was never written on the bible. Their doctrine on halloween and christmass is f rom the doctrine of the Pople to his members, so catholic is false religion.

easter and yule are christian trip journeys.. you will desire to comprehend what they represent.. Easter is truly like the passover whilst Jesus got here out of his tomb and yule is Jesus' birthday.. we muslims dont have self belief Jesus died, so as that makes Easter redundant/nonexistant and we muslims dont rejoice prophets birthdays.. we dont rejoice Mohammeds birthday the two (even nevertheless some sects do, yet Mohammed on no account condoned this).. Frankly no person even knows whilst Jesus replaced into born, it actual replaced into no longer Dec twenty 5th ... that replaced into the iciness solstice which replaced into pagans trip.. thanksgiving isn't a "christian"particular trip.. its an "american" custom to furnish because of the community american indian human beings for assisting the 1st settlers who got here to united statesa. and had to stay on the 1st harsh winters without nutrition.. the community indians helped proportion their components and helped them to construct residences and shelters.. this is what the pilgrams gave thank you for.. So in case you're an american muslim, christian, jew, or athiest or pagan, you would be grateful for suggestions from the early indians.. Halloween isn't celebrated even by utilising many christians some denominations dont rejoice it.. its sac religious. its celebrateing the ineffective, dressing up as ineffective ghosts, monsters, demons, etc.. this is going against christianity, judaism and islam... real religious human beings dont rejoice this demon worship trip of greed (and inspiring infants to be grasping additionally) as for birthdays.. some muslims do and a few dont.. the prophet didnt advise this because of the fact as muslims we would desire to continually be grateful and grateful to God for giving us on a daily basis of our existence, no longer basically one.. And we are to no longer placed any human up on a pedistal and glorify that human above questioning approximately God.. this is attributed to idol worship and forbidden.. basically pray on your birthday and be grateful that God gave you yet another 365 days of wellness and existence..

i am not sure about jews but i know that Muslims do not celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is Christ so they don't celebrate Christmas, most of them think that halloween is evil so they don't want anything to do with it and Thanksgiving most of them don't really know about.

Speaking only for my Muslim friendswho do. That's because my Muslim friends are non-practicing of their faith. They are just so Americanized.

I actually laughed at the genteel inanity of this question. It is so earnest and yet so foolish at the same time.
