The meaning of Christmas.

[Gourmander]

Selfridge's in London have removed a nativity scene from one of their floors to placate Islam. Muslim staff objected to passing it on their way to the toilets. Where is all this going to end?

I take the underlying point about "not offending" Muslims (or any other) groups but high street shop displays are primarily intended to...

get ...people... into.. the... shop... to... spend... money...

...not about any religious or spritual affinity.

A business decision has been made, don't take so hard people.

If London was full of mega rich Christians, Selfidges would have the best Nativity in town.

Just though I needed to clariry:

I mean mega rich devout Christians, not the rest of you Christians that worship Santa and don't even say grace before a meal.

if it is not in Google News:does that mean it has not happened - true, but it means that NOT ONE news agency can verify it.

The media always suppress stories like this. If it wasn't for the Daily Mail, we would never find out the truth.
So why isn't the Daily Mail website carrying this made up news story.

You really ought to try posting some facts rather than stirring up non stories.

I know quite a few muslims, and have yet to meet one that is offended by Christamas or nativity plays. The muslims at work send christians christmas cards. They come to the christmas party. What is the problem? The problem is with the PC brigade whose perception of offence often misguided and does more harm than good. As is the case here. Assuming that it is true and not a wind up.

We are experiencing the same thing here in the US. If there is any possibility the Nativity is offensive it is immediately removed. All because it offends someone's religious beliefs. The US was founded on Christianity and if that if offensive then so be it!
