More Islamic supremacist bigotry and intolerance, as Leftists continue to ignore this global scourge, and focus instead on their obsession about “white supremacy.”
Kulab says that divisions have developed in Muslim countries over Christmas: “This culture has entered our Muslim countries and erases Islamic identity and faith. It changes the behavior of our children and contaminates their immaculate faith. In addition, the Holy Quran encourages us to dissent against the dwellers of Hellfire, the Jews and the Christians.”
Dedicated jihadists and Islamic supremacist condemn the Christian tradition and often escalate violence against Christians during the Christmas season, viewing Christmas as a threat. Yet Christmas festivities have now reached Saudi Arabia, despite clerics such as Kulab.
“Hamas Official Ahmad Kulab: It Is Forbidden For Muslims To Congratulate Christians On Christmas; Santa Claus Has Invaded Muslim Countries,” MEMRI, December 19, 2020:
In a December 19, 2020 broadcast on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza), Ahmad Kulab, the Head of the Department for Training of Preachers in Hamas’ Ministry of Religious Endowments, warned against Muslim participation in Christmas celebrations. He said that it is forbidden for Muslims to congratulate Christians on their holidays, explaining that this would be denial of Islamic faith. Kulab added that Christian holiday celebrations must be restricted to Christian homes or places of worship. He also said that the image of Santa Claus constitutes an invasion of Muslim countries, and that it glorifies early Christian missionaries.
Ahmad Kulab: “We are not allowed to congratulate the Christians on their holidays. Christians must [keep] the celebration of their holidays to their homes, their houses of worship, and their churches.”
Other speaker: “By themselves.”
Kulab: “Yes.

“Are we supposed to congratulate the Christians for their denial of Allah?

“Santa Claus is a witty and jolly personality who hands out sweets and presents in order to influence people. This image of Santa Claus constitutes an invasion of Muslim countries, because they want to ingrain the image of Santa Claus [among Muslim]. The character of Santa Claus glorifies prominent Christians, monks who used to propagate the Holy Trinity and Christianity among Roman youth, giving out presents, sweets, and so on.
[…]
“If [a Christian] says to me: ‘Happy holidays!’, I can reply with something general, and say: ‘May you be happy, too.’ But I say that we do not even have to say this. Even if they congratulate us, we do not have to answer them. We can remain silent. That is better for us, in order to avoid falling into sin, as the Islamic scholars said.”
Mike says
wow this guy has his fact ass backwards
mortimer says
Yes, he has it ‘backwards’. The Muslims deny the Incarnation and the God of the Bible, Jehovah.
Islam is a denial of many principle and cardinal doctrines of Judaism and Christianity that are ‘essential’ beliefs for salvation.
Islam hates Christianity and Christians and wishes to exterminate both by hook or by crook.
Dave from SanAntonio says
Islam appears to be such a ‘fragile’ religion. Everything that is ‘not’ in accordance to the qur’an seems to be a threat that could end islam. If it were not for the threats of death, violence, etc. Islam would be long gone by now. So ‘fragile’…
Westman says
Islam is fragile. Its image is being worn down by a cyclone of violence of its own making that cannot, due to modern instant video, be hidden.
National leaders can call for fines on Big Tech to make them remove unfavorable content yet it will just arrive by another route in the global communication. Censure will fail – it’s too late in human history. Clerics and politicians are no longer protected by the remoteness of being, “over there”, in a foreign country. They can’t even close doors without wondering if there is a “bug”, listening.
Islam is like sandstone in a windstorm; each jihad violence adding abrasive particles to the wind. Islam can never restore the ignorant mistique of remoteness. The world sees clearly: There is no genie, no flying carpet, and no peaceful Quran.

So let him remain silent when someone wishes him a merry Christmas. Christmas will still come to Whoville and the people will stand together around the Christmas tree and sing songs in honor of a poor little baby born in a stable. Merry Christmas everyone.

A religion which takes all the fun out of life for the vast majority of its adherents and then sends them out to do the same to the rest of humanity doesn’t have a whole lot to recommend it.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
– Luke 2:1-14 (KJV)
Merry Christmas to all.
May Yeshua HaMashiach keep you and yours in the palm of His hand.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
– Luke 1:37

Walking by my side

“Are we supposed to congratulate the Christians for their denial of Allah?
Yes, a resounding yes.
Your god is weak. Our God is strong, supremely confident, and extremely patient. He takes on judgement all by Himself, whereas impatient “Allah” has to get underlings, stupid humans, to do the dirty work. God, the true God, does not want to punish is creations, whereas “Allah” relishes it like a savage.
Wellington says
To the degree that Islamic identity and faith are actually erased, this can only be viewed by people of sense and knowledge as something beneficial to mankind.
And as for Christmas being representative of a culture, precisely to the extent that it is, it is representative of a far superior culture compared to the culture produced by the Islamic sphere of mankind. Easy call. No contest.
tim gallagher says
I couldn’t agree more, Wellington. Anything that helps to erase Islam and its malevolent influence on the human race is surely a great thing and definitely a move in the right direction. Islam has been such a terrible and barbaric curse for the human race. It is Christmas morning now here in Australia, so I wish all the fighters against this barbaric ideology, Islam, here at Jihad Watch, a Merry Christmas. And especially to Robert Spencer, Christine, Hugh and the other tireless workers at Jihad Watch who do such a great job, day after day, trying to wake people up to the true nature of Islam, a Merry Christmas.
Wellington says
And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (hope it is a better year than this one has been) to you and yours, tim gallagher.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Wellington. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours as well. I can only echo your sentiments about hoping for a better year than 2020 has been. I enjoy reading your comments and I agree with your perspective on things. You seem, and I’m sure the other people who comment here at Jihad Watch would agree, to be a very knowledgeable person.

Hmmm. So he thinks that Santa Claus is an integral part of the Christian religion? It will be interesting to see what he thinks of the Easter Bunny — probably proof of the perversion of Christianity as promoted by that 20th Century saint — Hugh Hefner. He doesn’t seem to realize that no one over the age of 5 believes that either exist.
But he may have a point since SC certainly represents a playful and joyous side of life that seems to be missing from his experience. It would be very troublesome for him if his followers, especially the children, saw that religion could contain some simple, innocent fun.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Well, fool, if moslims hadn’t invaded all of the “lands” where Christians were, there would be fewer Christians where moslims reside. “moslim lands” didn’t exist when Christianity came to be.
What is more, it is is much better to pass out candy to loved ones, friends and even strangers, to celebrate what many believe to be the birth day anniversary of our Lord, our King, our Savior, in gestures of “goodwill and peace” than it is to pass out sweets, candy, dance and shout in celebration of moslims committing mass murder of people who have done them no harm.
Better by far to recognize that Jesus Christ is the Holy Son of God, sent to earth to redeem mankind…all who wish to be redeemed…from sin and death, than it could ever be to stay in bondage to the false ‘god,’ satan the devil and his false ‘prophet,’ who was a lying sack of scummy slug slime, mass-murdering, raper of children, slave owner and abuser, son of satan, and who was consigned to the same “lake of fire’ as his fake ‘god,’ and the “father of lies” will be experiencing.
moslims have no **immaculate virgins** as they rape little girls from birth on. And neither do they have any “immaculate faith” that could be “contaminated” by Christians. “their ***faith***” is already contaminated by the evil precepts, teachings, commands, demands, and rules that permeate islam. moslims leave nothing to “faith.” moslims act out on every satanic desire, as they are aware that satan can do nothing, but the demon snake must rely on the actions of humans to rape, murder, steal, extort, threaten, whine, complain, etc.
Pay no attention to this spokesperson for satan. All they know are lies.
It’s been rather chilly lately, and so can’t be a “hellfire” where I am dwelling.

That’s Islam–it hates Christmas, but it sacralizes raping children and slaughtering unbelievers.

I was reading the listener comments under the song, “Angels We Have Heard on High,” sung by Josh Groban and Brian McWhite, all praising the song and the singing of it, the harmony, etc. And one of the comments ended with, “And I am muslim.”
