To be frank, the few close Muslim friends I have did wish me a ‘Happy Christmas’ and when it’s their big day-Eid, I regularly wish them Happy Eid.
But yesterday, through observation Hammer of the Last Two kick started a debate on his facebook page which brought out certain Muslims to explain and defend the idea that, true Muslims should not wish Christians Merry Christmas, because doing so means they are accepting the divinity of Jesus Christ.
I did not know there was such an issue hovering over the heads of religious people but the debate or discussion was quite interesting—so I have decided to bring it here to ask our Christian readers if they know about this practice and what do they think.
I also want to ask our Muslims readers if truly, this is part of Islamic teachings; that true Muslims should not wish Christians Merry Christmas?
Let’s get talking but check out the conversation below first…
