So you're calling me a liar? I don't have to fabricate a story to make my point, so think what you wish.
I guess the people I have known are just not as narrow minded as those you have known.
I've known a lot of Muslims, there are some in my family, just never seen any of them celebrate Christmas. So you have. That's all. Chill out.

I don't know why people are so quick to cry, "heretics!" when they hear of non-Christians celebrating Christmas. It's just the commercial side of Christmas these families are celebrating, even many atheists celebrate Christmas. Heck, my son wanted to celebrate Hanukkuh last year, and I considered buying a menora. I thought it would be a learning experience.
Honestly? You wouldn't be the first person to make up "well, I know somebody who illustrates my point completely!" on an internet forum. Let's just call it creative definition of the word "data".
Honestly? Don't call someone a liar unless you know that person and know he or she is really lying. The man's name is Malik and he was, or still is the Imam for the Islamic Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

What's so bad about Thor?
Quote:
Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the protector of both gods and humans against the forces of evil. He even surpassed his father Odin in popularity because, contrary to Odin, he did not require human sacrifices. In his temple at Uppsala he was shown standing with Odin at his right side. This temple was replaced by a Christian church in 1080.

Standupandbecounted is welcome to respond to me any way they choose.
Ok. LOL
