As a Christian, Christmas is not merely a gifting holiday, it is a day to celebrate the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Over the past 10-20 years, it’s become very "un PC" to say Merry Christmas as to not "offend" those of other faiths.
So imagine my surprise seeing this weekend’s BEST BUY sales flyer with the greeting "Happy Eid Al-Adha".
Eid Al-Adha is- according to Wikipedia:
Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran.[1] Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).
So, yes, I do understand that in America, we have freedom of religion. They have the same protection to follow Islamic principles the same as I’m allowed to profess Christ as Savior and King…but the double standard of PC censorship is a complete joke.
So, I look forward to seeing Best Buy proclaim "Merry Christmas" in an ad in the next few weeks. If they don’t..I’ll think twice about making a purchase there in the future!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas!
