Unlike Christians, who never evangelize.

It's really sad that you have a problem with this. This man is misguided in believing that God loves Muslims above everyone else, but so are fundamentalists of every religion. He is advising his followers on how to be nice to his neighbors without joining in what he believes to be idolatrous celebrations. Do you think Christains should celebrate Ramadan?

I probably would if I moved to Saudi Arabia. It's part of their culture, not ours.

I get thoughts of Spanish Conquistadors spreading the good gospel of the Catholic Church. Convert...or die. Gotta love religion.

So by that logic, you think Muslims (and Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc) in America should be celebrating Christmas - just because it's supposedly part of our "culture?" Mkay.

Btw, Ramadan IS part of America's culture, since we have Muslims who live here as citizens... Rosh Hashana and Diwali are also part of our culture, since again, we are not a 100% Christian country. Or do you think we're insignificant, and just foreign invaders of the United States? Wait, don't answer that!

P.S. Since both are currently in full swing, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to everyone!

You're confusing "culture" with "lawful activies". Just because something is lawful (e.g., saying Muslim prayers) doesn't make it part of the American culture.
