Well, I hope the Christians don't listen to him and gather and sing Christmas carols anyway, just to spite that Savage. The spirit is room for him, not everyone else! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The world would be a better place without the specific ideology and that followers. |

The city is 59 percent Arab these days. The Arabs are 69 percent Muslim, 30.9 percent Christian and the remaining 0.1 percent is probably "other". |

The city council announced Thursday that Mayor Ali Salam, a Muslim, had ordered the axing of all planned artistic events, including a festival and large Christmas market.LOL. A festival and a large market have nothing to do with the birth of our Savior. |

Thank God you're here once again to explain it to me! That's not the point of this article. It's some savage sandcrab purposely punishing and fucking over Christians because he is mad at an opinion that a foreign leader made about Jerusalem. |

They can still worship Christ in the same places and times as last year.Shopkeepers are being punished by being deprived of tourist dollars, but that has nothing to do with Christmas. |

Nonsense.It's a big deal politically. A popular civil festival that attracts lots of Christian tourists has been canceled. In my opinion, that was a really stupid move. But absolutely no occasions for Christians to practice their faith have been affected. You're buying Olog's Kool Aid. |

Sure, but now you're changing the subject.I agree that canceling a Christmas market that lots of people enjoy is obnoxious and stupid. But it very simply has nothing to do with Christians practicing their faith. There is no freedom of religion issue here. It's an issue of freedom to shop. |

When Arafat was in charge, he used to stress the fact that Islam recognizes Jesus as a holy prophet and that Jesus is regarded as holy from God in the Koran. Google "Jesus in Islam" and see for yourself. Christmas in Bethlehem was a big deal.Conversely, Arafat would be sure to tell Christians that Judaism completely rejects Jesus from a religious standpoint, not to mention the whole betrayal to the Romans and the crucifixion. |

You missed the memo. Christmas is only about plays and shopping now!I can't help but notice that all the classics (written by Jews), or all the old radio and television shows (usually done by Jews back then), didn't mention anything about the savior and little about shopping. It was all mitzvos and goodwill! The fakistianians could learn something from that. |

We still see this garbage today from whoever these so-called Christian groups are in Jerusalem.I think they see what happens to their people in Lebanon and Iraq though and just assume the Jews will be wiped out soon, so they are just trying self-preservation.

Christmas is only about plays and shopping now!Ah, you're talking about civil Christmas, not religious Christmas. Well I admit, that stupid mayor did put a tiny dent into civil Christmas. The tourists going to Nazareth will be disappointed. But he's spitting into the wind. Civil Christmas is doing better than ever. Stores are selling more stuff than ever. Santa Claus is doing wonderfully. Even the calendar is cooperating, by putting civil Christmas on a Monday so it can be preceded with two blow-out weekend shopping days. One Muslim mayor can't stop the forces of commerce! |
