I agree, find it quite patronising. Wasn't there a story about a council in Birmingham years ago telling the Salvation Army to take down their Christmas decorations in case Muslims might be offended? If I remember correctly they hadn't even actually consulted any Muslims but in their attempts to be overtly PC, the story got mis-translated into "Muslims tell Salvation Army to take down Christmas decorations in a largely Christian country" which was not true at all and actually served to create resentment against a people minding their own business.

That's what I think is dangerous about this sort of thing. Most of the public can think for themselves but sometimes I think actually this sort of thing gives ammunition to the dumbos.

Or start with "The BBC are reporting..."

That was the year that Birmingham Council did away with Christmas entirely and replaced it with Winterval for fear of upsetting Muslims whom it later transpired couldn't care less and actually enjoyed Christmas

I live there and rather likethe Bureau of Information in 1984 these are desperate attempts to rewrite history

Haha, yeah, doesn't surprise me. My mate's dad owns an Indian restaurant and my mate works there. All the guys that work there are pretty devout Muslims but they love Christmas. The restaurant goes to an effort to looks Christmassy in December. You could be cynical and say that it's for capitalistic reasons, but ultimately if they were actually offended by Christmas they wouldn't care how much revenue it generates, they'd scrap their Xmas decs. Let's stop presuming we know what offends a huge section of society!

I love it. Although it appeals to the kind of people that wear t-shirts that say "There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't".

I.e.: losers.
