BOYCOTT ‘BEST BUY’ – They wish MUSLIMS “Happy EID” but won’t wish Christians “Merry Christmas” « Bare Naked Islam's Weblog
So as of 2006, their official policy has been to use Happy Holidays to be all inclusive and not use Merry Christmas. Guess that policy went out the window this year in their pandering to Muslims. Christmas is bad, except for all the sales money it brings retailers. But Muslim holidays are good. OK, this Christian is taking his money elsewhere this year cause Best Buy is off my list of stores to shop this holiday season. Instead of a jolly Santa, maybe they'll have someone dressed as a muslim suicide bomber to get people into the holiday spirit.

And when you shop at Walmart "made in the USA" are dirty words. How many Americans lost jobs because of their business practices? Merry Thanksgiving!

And how many have been employed? Seriously, look it up, you might be amazed at the number of people who work for Wal-Mart or for a vendor specifically for Wal-Mart!

That's good! Hopefully Best Buy won't be as packed if the Evangelicals flee to Wal-Mart. If this is all it takes to get rid of the good ole boys, i wish more stores pandered to Muslims. Maybe now the parking lot at Best Buy won't have raised trucks double parked.
People who need Target; Best Buy; etc., to acknowledge their particular religious beliefs are exposing their insecurity and the weakness of their faith.
I don't need PRIVATE COMPANIES to hold my hand. My beliefs are solid regardless of what some faceless entity does.
Also, I don't believe things just because a radical sounding blog says so. I have a feeling there is more to this story, not to mention, the OP's own link says that Best Buy DOES use "Christmas" sporadically in their ads. So the claim that they don't acknowledge it at all is false in the first place. A bunch up hyped-up, propagandized half-truths. They're just not using it enough to satisfy some people. We don't get to dictate how often private companies say "Christmas" in some twisted bid to reaffirm our beliefs.

That's because they eliminated their competition aka small business owners. They are one of the wealthiest companies in the world yet they don't offer benefits, pay low wages, and make employees work beyond their stated hours. It's one of the worst companies to work for. Ask anyone who has worked at Target vs Wal-Mart, and every time they will tell you Target knows how to treat employees well. Then again it was founded in Arkansas with good ole boy values so what do you expect?

No, using "happy holidays" then making an exception for the muslim holiday is what pisses people off. If you're going to use happy holidays, use it across the damn board. Pandering to muslims is exceptional bull****.
