But remember: the real problem is “Islamophobia.”
“Amir Khan Shocked By ‘All The Hate’ For Celebrating Christmas,” by Tanya Rudra, NDTV, December 26, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Pakistan-origin British boxer Amir Khan was slammed on social media platforms Twitter and Instagram for celebrating Christmas with his family. On Wednesday, Amir Khan had posted a picture with his wife and kids in “Christmas outfits”. “Wishing you a magical and blissful holiday! Merry Christmas #khanfamily @FaryalxMakhdoom #MerryChrismas,” Amir Khan wrote with the picture. The post, however, did not go down well with his followers as the boxer drew a lot of flak for celebrating the Christian festival despite being a Muslim. The former light-welterweight world champion, then decided to respond to “all the hate” with a message that read, “So shocked by all the hate I’m getting on my Twitter & instagram for wishing everyone Merry Christmas and posting a picture with my family in Christmas outfits. Just want to tell those people ‘I don’t give a f**k’.”…

Good for Amir Khan for telling his Twitter detractors exactly what they needed to hear and giving them the ??
Mural says
This is a common occurence in India as well. Muslim celebrities and cricketers get called out for conveying festival greetings to their non-Muslim fans.
mortimer says
A lot of Muslims are MINOs (Muslim-in-name-only). They don’t want to practice Islam’s supremacist, barbaric apartheid.

Actually, M, he is a fully practicing Muslim.
When he was on last year’s ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of Here’, he didn’t drink alcohol, as it was ‘against his faith.’

Save Europe, you are right that Amir Khan is a “proud Muslim”.
But he says that Islam tells him not to hurt people or upset them–he is either ignorant of what his vicious creed actually teaches, or else he is spouting Taqiyya:

Infidel says
gravenimage, I think it’s more likely that he’s practicing his own imaginary Islam, where he picks out the non-controversial parts of it, such as avoiding alcohol and pork, but drops the parts about hating infidels and jihad. I don’t have any problem w/ such people: it’s just when others assume them to be the majority, or worse, conclude from those personal beliefs that that’s what Islam really is

Well said

I’m not a particular fan of Amir Khan as either a person or a boxer (very average).
However – on THIS – ‘fair play’ to him for standing up to his fellow Muslims who are trolling him.
The same happened last year over a Christmas Tree in his house.
Nonetheless – I will also finish my post by saying – hopefully, at some point he will have the guts to point out the intolerance which emanates from his religion. Sadly, this won’t happen.
Lion heart says
he is a good guy because he is far from Islamic evil teachings
Michael Pillon says
The Muslim hatred and envy of Christmas is astonishing. My yuletide wish is that Islam will be but a bad memory within 10 years. Bombs away, western leaders!
mortimer says
Reply to MP … the hatred and hostility is normative Islam according to a canonical Islamic teaching called ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’.
THE ‘TRUE IMAGE’ OF ISLAM ACCORDING TO ISLAM’S TOP SCHOLARS IS AL WALAA WAL BARAA … loving or hating what Allah loves or hates … Islamic apartheid …
– “The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
– “The matter is clear on this issue. It is obligatory to disassociate and absolve oneself from the disbelievers and their religion. The issue of al-Walaa wal-Baraa is from among the greatest obligations in Islaam.” (Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan, 2005, p. 308)
Western people would not be astonished if they knew this one teaching of Islam … hatred directed by Muslims against the dirty kufaar is the MOTIVE of Islam and MOTIVE of jihad.
mortimer says
Please note that Christmas is what Muslims hate the MOST, since it is the Feast of the Incarnation of God … a great blasphemy for Islam!
Sharia law and the Pact of Omar require Muslims to ERADICATE ALL PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS BY NON-ISLAMIC RELIGIONS.
Don’t be ‘ASTONISHED’ … be informed about the PACT OF OMAR.
Lion heart says
Mortimer: and not only in part of Omar but also in Muhammad’s statement where he said that Allah commanded him to destroy all crosses , idols etc..
keith says
Al Walaa wal Bara? Sounds like the noise a baby makes when it does a dummy spit.

I wish this Islamic tenet was so innocent, Keith.
Lion heart says
Yet imam Obama and Merkel and the prime minister of New Zealand call Islam the region of peace and love ???
Michael Copeland says
There was an Ahmahdi muslim shopkeeper in Scotland who wished his customers a Happy Easter. A Sunni muslim from Bradford, England, drove all the way to his shop and stabbed him to death.

Yes–I remember that terrible story.

Yep i rember now ones dead and other waited on hand and foot

Amir Khan is experiencing KAFIR-O-PHOBIA.
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”

Amir Khan is a strong and devastating boxer. It is highly unlikely that any muslim will come to sort him out in person.
Save Europe says
I don’t rate him as a boxer.
However – he did win me 400 quid when I bet against him, when he fought a Central American boxer called Prescott, and got destroyed
The BBC, the week before the fight, took a tour of Prescott’s training camp. It was VERY rough! He even slept there EVERY night for 6 months.
You can train a person to be a great fighter, but not a person to be naturally tough.
elee says
Hey Muslims the man can celebrate whatever he wants. Its called freedom. It will be the end of your deathcult.
James Lincoln says
Highly likely that Amir Khan will “quietly” leave Islam.
Too much cognitive dissonance….
FYI says
Yes indeed there is too much Cognitive Dissonance in islam
1]muslims say “There are NO contradictions in the koran”
koran 4:85 intercession is allowed according to allah
koran 74:48 intercession is prohibited according to muhammed
allah disagrees with muhammed..
That’s just ONE..and there are many,many more.
2]allah’s ” perfect” koran is FULL of errors{scientific,logical and theological} which by allah’s OWN criterion of k4:82 means it comes from.. “other than allah”
The koran also missed the Golden Rule,the 2nd Chief commandment of God “love thy neighbor”,gets Christian Theology wrong{3 persons in ONE GOD is NOT= 3 separate gods as allah thinks}Jews don’t believe in any one called “Ezra is the son of allah” k9:30,Jesus NEVER had the Gospel k5:46 etc
islam is the religion of “peace”{WHERE?}
muhmmad the failed prophet is the “perfect” man
The error filled koran is the “perfect” book
The koran itself is cognitively dissonant.
Wise people stay away from islam,smart people leave it and the foolish convert to it.
BTW ,A Christmas tree is not exclusively a Christian symbol yet muslims seem to go into paroxysms of rage when they see it.
Save Europe says
Unlikely.
Amir Khan is a BIG dichotomy.
We, in England, know that he has become Muslim-Light, so as to ‘retain’ his non practitioner of Islam, Pakistani-American wife, who wants no part of practicing Islam.
She’s from a wealthy background herself. It is well known he became ‘less Muslim’ so as, to appeal to her more.
Infidel says
In other words, the day he’s sick of her or one of them leaves the other, he could well revert to islam, and that she’s the one keeping him from going whole-hog islamic, in a manner of speaking?
The wife seems to be a second or third generation American, if she wants no part of Islam
Save Europe says
Correct.
gravenimage says
UK: Muslims slam Muslim boxer for celebrating Christmas
………….
How dare any Muslim have innocent fun? Good to see Amir Khan blowing these Muslim kill-joys off.
Jayell says
This all goes to prove that you can’t have a ‘British muslim’, since islam is incompatible with British culture. Christmas, and all the Christian/Pagan trimmings that go with it, is an integral part of the British identity, and muslims are making it very clear here that they will never ever be part of the British identity. So why are they in the UK or indeed any part of the civilised Western world? We all know the two reasons why. And neither are very good, as muslims themselves have clearly demonstrated.
sammy says
Amir Khan is a” pick and mix” Muslim on this subject,as a Muslim celebrating the birth of God Incarnate is not only anathema in Islam but a direct “act of war” against the Islamic god Allah and its prophet Mohammed, demanding retribution against those perpetrating it.
I would suspect he is doing so more for P.R.than anything else,whilst not taking seriously enough the threat of violence which could very easily ensue against himself and his family by his action,as the warning on social media shows.
Amir Khan is treading on very thin ice by openly celebrating Christmas,as an alleged devout Muslim,may the true God YHWH give him protection,and lead him to the Truth,Jesus the Messiah.
Infidel says
I think more likely, he shares the same illusions about islam that most non-Muslim westerners share, and goes on to actually practice them. By abstaining from alcohol and pork, he thinks he’s being devout, and then he dismisses jihad or hatred of infidels as being un-Islamic, since that’s what Muslim propagandists claim to Infidels. That aspect of this is amusing – that even a Muslim actually fell for it, since he’s not from your average madrassah.
That’s the only explanation for him not taking seriously any threats of violence against him or family. Otherwise, he’d either have not celebrated Christmas, or else, he would have defiantly apostatized and beefed up his security
Livia Varju says
So why did all these anti-Christian people come to a Christian continent???!!! Guess! In any case, I wrote a poem that is relevant:
CHRISTMAS IS FOR EVERYONE
Whatever your belief
Animist: The transcendent reality of God and nature
Baha’i: The essential worth of all Messengers of God
Buddhist: The wheel of life and the way to liberation
Hindu: A pantheon symbolizing the attributes of God
Humanist: Concern for human values, welfare, dignity
Judaist: The Ten Commandments
Muslim: Absolute submission to a unique God
Shintoist: Worshiping nature and ancestors
Sikh: Denying the class system
Taoist: A life of simplicity to attain harmony
Unitarian Universalist: Insights from world faiths, reason and science
Whatever your faith
If you bear goodwill
Support the great principles of the Universe
Hunger for freedom and fulfilment of mankind
Want to cure ignorance, hostility between faiths
Serve the cause of justice and peace
Pledge to safeguard the wonders of creation
Treat others as you would have them treat you
Then Christmas is for you!

The Liverpool Football Club striker Mohamed Salah has also been trolled by aggressive intolerant muslim bigots for doing the same.
Save Europe says
And yet Salah wears ‘that’ kind of beard, his wife wears the obedient Hijab, and when he enters the football pitch or scores a goal, acknowledges Allah.
Salah – like – Nadiya Hussein, Mo Farah, Amir Khan, Granit Xhaka,, Mezut Osil, Shaqiri, Kolasinac, Gundogan, Sane, Sadiio Mane, Mustafi – ALL Arsenal and Liverpool, Man City footballers, and ‘others’ – are faux Muslims. They’re Muslims when they want to be. And non Muslim when they want their money.
They’re Muslim when they ‘win’ something on TV, and Asian when they commit terrorism or rapes.
As a Limey – the likes of Gundogan, Ozil and Emre Can support Erdogan the Islamiofascist of Turkey. Whilst the likes of Xhaka and Shaqiri have celebrated a goal by gesticulating with a pro Muslim Albanian gesture.
