More on Christmas and Stuff
Further to my comments on Christianity yesterday, I see the Pope has waded in criticising Italian schools’ decisions to cancel nativity plays incase they offend the sensibilities of Muslim immigrants. How odd that the Pope and I share the same platform - me a non-believer and he a devout catholic.
Most of the Muslims I’ve known over the years are certainly not offended by Christian festivals - it is the politically correct brigade who make such assumptions on their behalf who are responsible for such nonsense.
If Christians wish to celebrate the nativity openly, they should do so with impunity - just as the winter solstice will, doubtless be celebrated at Stonehenge in a few days time. And, if the local Muslims want to celebrate Eid, then again, why not? And if I want to shut myself away in the south of France and ignore all of them - well, dammit, I will.
