Modern, moderate Indonesia’s top Muslim clerical body: Don’t wish Christians “Merry Christmas,” don’t attend Christmas parties

Feel the love and tolerance.

“Avoid wishing ‘Merry Xmas,’ insist Indonesian conservative Muslims,” from al Arabiya, December 20 (thanks to all who sent this in):

If the world is ready for Christmas with just five days to go before the 25th, Indonesia is yet to decide if they will be a part of the celebration.

Until now, Islamic conservatives are indecisive over whether or not celebrating Christmas the country is “Haram” or “Halal” (whether it’s prohibited or permitted by Islam), reported an Indonesian news site.

Even al Arabiya labels pro-Sharia Islamic supremacists “conservatives,” and pro-freedom opponents of Sharia “conservatives.”

Indonesia’s top Muslim clerical body said on Wednesday that it is best for Muslims to avoid saying greetings such as “Merry Christmas” to others.
