One of the sad thing about religions is that once they embrace the core principles of the belief they continue to evolve, sometimes creating next to insane ideas on the way. We have already seen that in the case of the Cairo crazed religious leader who simply told females to stop touching cucumbers and other penis like vegetables (check it out on the post don’t touch the vegetables) and on several other cases.
Although this is primarily done in the Muslim world these days one can not say that Christianity and Judaism are lacking on the insanity department, and if we would post each and every time some crazy piece of news regarding some crazed religious guy telling others what they should do we would probably have to post a hundred times a day, so we pick only the ones that are truly spectacular.
And so we get to current day Islam, which is a 1,600 year old religion stuck in the year 2011 (soon to be 2012) and acting as if nothing has changed over the last few hundred years, causing many of its religious speakers to pay a lot of attention on things that are not only irrelevant but also pretty stupid. This time we see a Muslim telling others that just by saying “Happy Christmas” to others they are committing a terrible offense against Islam, he goes on to explain that notion.
However terrible saying something as innocent and banal as “Merry Christmas” one can not think of the really terrible things done by Muslims every day, around the world, to their bothers and sisters (I mean other Muslims) as well as non Muslims, we are talking blood red violence and not just saying a 2 word greeting to someone else, but this is not something many Muslims pay attention to, they rather focus on how to insult their host cultures (in this case it is clearly filmed in the U.K) than to spend an hour discussing why Islam has ended up being the worlds most brutal religion.
Merry Christmas!
