So we're a Christian a nation founded on freedom of religion?  And those damn Muslims should know that this is a Christan nation should convert to Christianity since we're a Christian nation, or just suck it up and quit complaining?

Actually they should suck it up.  Celebrating a Christian holiday does not prevent or interfere with Muslims ability to practice their religion no more than Hanukkah interferes with my ability to practice my faith.  

They're just jealous or miss home or both.

Another thing I don't understand is why Christmas is a bother to atheists.  You don't have to celebrate Christmas if you don't want and can keep on not believing as far as I'm concerned but don't take my right away just because you don't believe.

It's wrong for taxpayer dollars to be spent on any religion.. We live in a country that was founded on freedom of religion for a reason..

The decorations on Broadway Ave and Main St in December celebrate our freedoms as Americans to believe in a higher power or not..

Happy Holidays..

I don't disagree.  Taxes shouldn't be spent on religion.

Some peolpe have missed the point I was trying to make.  It's not just the Christmas thing or a christian thing .  It has to do with someone demanding tolerance for their beliefs, but not being tolerant of others in return.   This country was founded on freedom of religion for everyone and I personnaly don't have a problem with that.  I think everyone should be allowed (within limits of the Law) to practice their religion freely(or not for our atheist freinds out there), but it has to be a two way street.  You can't demand tolerance for your religion, but demand that no other religions can practice their faith around you.  That violates the spirit of our freedom of religion.  I hope this clears up what I was trying to get across the other night.

On a some what related note.  Since the attacks in Paris last week we have seen an awaking in some European countries over the Muslim "No-Go" enclaves that have been allowed to spring up in their countries.  The people are beginning to see that allowing select religions to set up seperate self governing enclaves within their countries is subverting their countries.  Hopefully it's not to late.

Identified as the founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Emerson got specific about this matter: “In Britain, it’s not just no-go zones. There are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in,” he said. Prime Minister David Cameron had a strong reaction to the comments: “When I heard this, frankly, I choked on my porridge and I thought it must be April Fools’ Day. This guy’s clearly a complete idiot.”

I saw that happening over by the Crack Stacks 10 years ago. Even the apartment complex I lived in was being overrun. I do not miss the stench of Somali cooking.

I think so. Some refer to it as "the ghetto in the sky."
