all muslems celebrate july 4th by living. those living in the US and are american citizens will also participate in Independence Day activities. Easter however is gennerally overlooked - sometimes using the easter bunny and passage to spring if they have kids but - general rule of thunb is that Easter is a religious Holiday.

Easter? No. That is the feast of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and although Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet they do not recognize him as divine.
July 4th? Depends on the individual and where they live. I doubt Muslims in Mongolia celebrate July 4.

Easter and Spring Solstice (Pagan) are a blended evolved celebration of renewal-- The rabbits and egg are Pagan traditional Nature Eternal symbol and Jesus rising renewal from the form-- eternal life for Christians. Muslims probably have Pagan Roots as well ,

We don't believe in Good Friday or the Reserection of Jesus but yes we do Celebrate Easter... - Eid of the Baetha...
Baetha means "Egg"
And if you live in the US You can celebrate 4th of July... Just for the fun of it or you really do like America... Of you don't have to if you don't want to...
Oh and Also... If you were born in the US... you can celebrate Halloween.... But you have to be born in the US... Not Middle East.

They do not celebrate the resurrection of Christ. They believe he was a prophet not God. They do not believe in the crucifixion.
Yes, they can celebrate July 4th if they live in America.

Not Easter. Muslims do not believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead nor do they believe that Jesus is God Incarnate. Many American Muslims gratefully celebrate Independence Day and the freedom that they have in the US that they don't have in Islamdom.

Easter- no- it's a Christian holiday
July 4th- As much as any other American (which is to say some do, some don't)

easter and christmas are christian holidays.. you have to understand what they signify.. Easter is like the passover when Jesus came out of his tomb and christmas is Jesus' birthday.. we muslims dont believe Jesus died, so that makes Easter redundant/nonexistant and we muslims dont celebrate prophets birthdays.. we dont celebrate Mohammeds birthday either (although some sects do, but Mohammed never condoned this).. Frankly no one even knows when Jesus was born, it certainly was not Dec 25th ... that was the winter solstice which was pagans holiday.. thanksgiving is not a "christian"specific holiday.. its an "american" tradition to give thanks to the native american indian people for helping the first settlers who came to america and had to survive the first harsh winters without food.. the native indians helped share their resources and helped them to build homes and shelters.. this is what the pilgrams gave thanks for.. So if you are an american muslim, christian, jew, or athiest or pagan, you can still be thankful for the help of the early indians.. Halloween is not celebrated even by many christians some denominations dont celebrate it.. its sac religious. its celebrateing the dead, dressing up as dead ghosts, monsters, demons, etc.. this goes against christianity, judaism and islam... true religious people dont celebrate this demon worship holiday of greed (and encouraging children to be greedy also) as for birthdays.. some muslims do and some dont.. the prophet didnt recommend this because as muslims we should be thankful and grateful to God for giving us every day of our life, not just one.. And we are not to put any human up on a pedistal and glorify that human above thinking about God.. this is attributed to idol worship and forbidden.. just pray on your birthday and be thankful that God gave you another year of health and life..
