I have no problem with them celebrating their religious holidays. I wonder if modern Muslims practice Ramadan the way it was practiced 40 50 years ago. The old school Muslims believed that their Messiah would be born of a man during Ramadan. They would actually go in their pants hoping the Messiah would be born. I don't think this is practiced anymore but it certainly was practiced in Libya in 1965. I was there I had seen it.

Well to tell you something about Ramadan in case you don't understand what it is....
Fasting has many benefits to the believers of Allah Like all the religious practices in Islam (Submission),
fasting will make the believer stronger as a believer, closer to Allah, more blessed and happier to be with God and to obey Him. Fasting teaches the believer self control because the fasting submitter controls his or her desire or need to drink or eat during the fasting period.
People who learn self control can resist wrong doing or temptation to follow their friends or peers just to avoid
embarrassment or to be like everyone else
Fasting gives the believers a chance to feel what a hungry
needy person feels when he or she does not have any food to eat.
The believers can understand the importance of giving
to charity and helping the hungry and needy people
Fasting is a healthy practice because it gives
the body a chance to rest and get rid of some unwanted weight or materials in our body system
Ramadan is the month of the revelation of the Quran and it
is one of the best time of the year for the whole family to get
together and study more Quran and learn their religion.
Doing our fasting with the rest of all the believers in the world
brings a feeling of unity and strength to all the submitters (Muslims in Arabic) in the world.
Fasting together strengthens the whole family and makes them feel closer.
Allah approval is the best reward for doing fasting. Allah does not need our fasting. All the benefits of fasting is for us
and for our sake and we should thank Allah for them.
".....You may eat and drink until the white
thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark
thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast until
sunset. ....." [2:187]

I pray that they will all come to know the Lord that I know. They have been told error by Muhammad and hopefully the Lord will show them His wonderful glory so they can believe the gospel of Christ Jesus.
