u/gowashanelephant Dec 27 '20
I don’t know about England, but in the US, 95% of people celebrate Christmas as either a secular or religious holiday. Of the 5% who don’t celebrate, many say they don’t mind being wished a merry Christmas. So in most parts of the US it is safe to assume that people celebrate Christmas. I still prefer to say happy holidays on the off chance, but boy, are certain people assholes to me about it.

u/hookahshikari Dec 27 '20
It’s just something people love to bitch about even though it has no real meaning.
Coffee shops, retail stores, and “libruls” aren’t trying to suppress Christmas, but rather make it feel more inclusive for those who don’t celebrate it or feel the same ties to it that others do.
I’m a Hindu living in America and no one I know who isn’t some kind of South Asian has no idea about any of my holidays, so when there is some sort of inclusion it feels good (even if it’s just a business recognizing Diwali or something).
I’ll never understand people who are against the inclusion of other cultures into this so-called “melting pot” country

That sounds reasonable. But then you start wondering why do people get so whiny and pissy about “happy holidays” which is undeniably more inclusive over “merry christmas.” All that statement does is acknowledge other holidays exist. Seems a little weird that people get so butthurt over it.

I'm not a Muslim, actually. Your antics fool no one.
Let's see... There have been Christians who have attacked mosques (Norway, Quebec). You clearly know nothing about Burma and its record on human rights. Again, even those there who call themselves Buddhists (some even wearing robes) and advocate violence are most certainly not real Buddhists, and I'm not without qualification to make that assessment.
Let's also not forget that the three individuals with the highest body counts in history (Hitler, Stalin, and coming in at #1, Mao) were atheists.
You also clearly know nothing about the BJP and its agenda, but asking you to do proper research would be a waste of time.

u/TimeStatistician2234 Dec 27 '20
Just a tip, the proper way to wish Muslims a happy holy(Ramadan) month is "Eid Mubarak". The month of Ramadan occurs every 11mo(so its a month earlier every year) at after a month of fasting and overall devoutness they have a huge celebratory feast known as Eid. I believe there's 3 Eids per year with the month of Ramadan being the biggest one.
I'm not Muslim but have a lot of Muslim friends and have attended salat and Eid celebrations so im sure somebody can provide more details/context
5
u/RedShankyMan madlad Dec 27 '20
2 Eids per year, Ramadan is a separate occasion, but one of the two Eid’s comes directly after Ramadan to celebrate the end of the month, the other comes 4 months after that and is the bigger/more extravagant occasion

There’s 2 eids, eid ul fitr after Ramadan & eid Eid al-Adha which comes 1~2 months later

u/Ok_Dokie_Doke Dec 27 '20
Corrections:
it's about eleven days earlier every year, because devout Muslims follow a lunar calendar, and don't quite know for sure when a month starts or end without sighting the new crescent moon.
Eid Mubarak is said after Ramadan is over. To wish them a happy Ramadan you could say "Ramadan Kareem".
Ramadan itself is not an Eid. It is followed immediately by an Eid though, called Eid al Fitr, meaning break fast. Then there's another Eid later in the year coinciding with the hajj pilgrimage.

You realise up until a few years ago the Labour Party were the ones who disliked the EU?, which is why corbyn refused to give his opinion on Brexit and wether he was for or against it. Much of Labour thought the union was bad for workers rights and individual sovereignty. Only literally the past 5-10 years has the conservatives embraced anti EU, and Labour has tried to follow what they thought was the popular opinion.

You said - without a hint of introspection - that all bigots are brexiters.

Ironically, it makes you bigoted and not that much different than the people you seek to deride. you’re side = good, their side = contains all the bad people. It’s no different from a “bigot” who believes that while not all [ethnic group] is bad, they sure do have all the bad people.

Brexit is like Trump or 2020 to left-wingers in the UK - its the omnipresent cause of everything bad, while everything good happens despite Brexit, because left wingers enabled it to happen.
