Islam once more shows its "peaceful" and "tolerant"
nature, while celebrating
the blasphemous Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) to commemorate the 
willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of 
obedience to God. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Adha ), the chairman 
of the Society of Muslim Lawyers claims Christmas celebrations are "the 
pathway to hellfire". Islam rejects Jesus Christ as being God, the Son of God, 
and denies his crucifixion, and thus ensures that its fiollowers remain
under the curse of sin and death and hell.

"Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas
turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah.
 
"Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth 
of Jesus.
 
"How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that 
bases itself on the notion Allah has an offspring?
