WHATS wrong with a christmas tree?

Well here you start with an assumption again - so where from the negativity coming ?

**Its not negativity. I say it like I see it. It is what it is. Simple. **

I am not saying much here - but let us just pick this quote of yours that we Pakistanis are addicted to differences .. I say why go outside when you got some many bridges to repair among muslims .

**Amen to that. All I am saying is when we have so many bigger issues to focus on…why do we pick on stupid little things like an x-mas tree? **

how about that for a starter ..

In next Muharram - put an Aalam on your house or build an AzaKhana at your place - offer Majalis - Do maatam - wear Black through out the AshRa .. well none of these acts have religious significance as per your theory none of these can be proved by Quran ( the religious book in this context ) - Not only you do that , preach it to your people also - It will help building the common grounds between Shais and Sunnis ( the two major Muslim sects )

and let embrace Ahmedi muslims ( or qadyanis as people call them ) - The fatwa againts their Musalmaniyat is given by Islamic Scholars ( or Molvis in Urf-e-Aam) - so it has no credibility .. right ?

And also hug other cultural rituals of many other Muslim sects !

**This is a separate thread…maybe you should open it? **

It aint about pointing out the differences and getting worked up on them - it is all about knowing your boundaries and staying within them ..

**No, its about being accepting of every kind of Muslim…whether you like them or not. We create issues where there are no issues. A tree is not an issue, but if a Pakistani is there…that tree will definitely become an issue! **

Indeed - The way we all debating over this minor issue - it seems like the way you said .. How many posts you or I have made on this topic . Where both of us could simply end this in one post by saying ’ This is what I believe - And you are free to do what ever you like ’

But hell no - we are still defending our POV - as if you believe something , you defend it otherwise no point believing you know ..

Saying ’ live and let others live ’ is such a cliche you know - who does that ?

I leave that for you to honestly answer .

**Thats the point, its a foreign concept to us. Live and let live. We all love picking on each other. **

**As if we dont have enough to fight about…lets make a Christmas the next issue. **
