GM and Merry Christmas Day
For the first time, in two years, Christians and Muslims in Bethlehem celebrated Christmas together, and Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa led the procession from Jerusalem to Bethlehem.

The Muslims cannot have Christmas. Whatever they pray over they believe they own.
They attend these celebrations, out of respect for their neighbors and for Mary, and because they think it has a positive message of peace and goodwill. That is tradition there.
Muslims are also free to wish Christians a "Merry Christmas", which is simply to say, "Enjoy the holiday!"
They certainly are free to say Merry Christmas, but the rest is PR while they reject Christ.
Well, then we need to make sure to continue to spread the Gospel, so that they learn about the Trinity.
I pray that the dreams of Christ being sent to them have an impact. Meanwhile we are having to actively fight off Sharia law in too many places. They cozy up to get us to let our guards down and give up our lands. I'm not interested in what it costs them to say Merry Christmas.
That is them saying Merry Christmas _in Palestine_. Your hate is making you blind.
Hate from me has nothing to do with it. They are enemies of Christ and hate His mercy and sacrifice. The Church has no business marching with them on Christmas (or any other Christian holiday).
And just because I don't want them bring evil to my land (which they are), doesn't mean I can't want justice for them in their lands (which is where they should stay).
Also, PR is important. It costs them something, to say Merry Christmas. That isn't nothing.
