I don’t know why people have mixed so many things with Christmas, which is purely a Christian religious festival. For instance, what has Christmas to do with, seatbelt or wrong parking etc, and the fact that people came out to defend wishing Christmas, why don’t people raise awareness about those issues as well.
Why waiting for scholars to do that? People live in UAE, one should know that it’s not the Fatawas of the scholars that compelled people to wear seatbelt or to park in its right place, rather it’s the strict implementation of law, and heavy fines.
Not wishing Christmas is not a discrimination or some sort of oppression, rather it’s using the opportunity to convey the message that we don’t agree with the notion that God has begotten a son (Nauzubillah), which was born on 25th December, and let them realize this, for their good. We should care for them throughout a year, stand against any injustice committed against them, and treat them well as ordered by Allah (SWT) and his messenger (saw)!!!!
