@diwana

So your answer is agreeing with the No: 1 option?

I don’t know what **“****religion is not always to be carried as 'handle with care” **means.

Religion is important element in large majority of people ever lived or living on this great place named Earth.

Only a minority of people ever lived or living on this place have no respect for religion.

And yet, somehow these minority Anti-Religious people have assumed power and control over majority religious people by taking over powerful tools like media, weapons etc. over the religious people who are passive, weak and complacent.

‘Handle with care’ mean we don’t need to carry this tag in a way to convey people ‘look we are Muslims and our faiths are so fragile that if we interacted with, start mingling with you in your festivals we would lose our faiths, so pardon us please and don’t expect us in any of your cultural or other occasions’.

If people can practice their faith without hurting others or making them feel inferior or portraying themselves as superior in some way, then why not. A Muslim should have enough confidence to face such situation. Didn’t prophet (SAW) offer prayers in kaaba full of idols? What does this teach us? Sibghat ullah (Allah ka rung) itna kacha to nahin hota ke mail jol se utar jae?

As most posters mentioned it here that they don’t celebrate occasions like Xmas in the same as is being celebrate by the Christians. They don’t decorate tree or exchange gifts. I don’t see a big deal in it if it is so. Even exchanging gifts is not a bad idea. Its common in all cultures. neighbors got their rights. Islam doesn’t say that only care for your Muslim neighbors. Does it?
