A function held at the Austrian embassy in Germany still served traditional festive fare such as Lebkuchen but rebranded them as 'winter delicacies'.
.

.
A reporter attending the event wanted to know exactly what the Austrians suddenly considered "winter delicacies" and asked the embassy for a clarification.

The ambassador then admitted that the traditional Christmas foods had been rebranded out of respect for Islam.

The ambassador then admitted that the traditional Christmas foods had been rebranded out of respect for Islam.

The ambassador should also admit his support for Sharia Law. Rebranding is the first submissive step to the eventual takeover by Islam.

Perhaps the ambassador has already cast off any interest in Christian religion in step with most of Europe. Thus resulting in the current vacuum ready to be filled by a new and strong religion that melds perfectly into their political ideology.

As Forrest Gump says "stupid is as stupid does."

The reason for Judeo-Christian mutual respect is because we all believe in God the Father. We have also been through hell together and survived together because of His love.

This one will put a smile on your face.

The Teacher asked young Malcolm Macdonald: “What do you do at Christmas time?”

Malcolm addressed the class: “Well Miss Jones, my twelve brothers and sisters

and I go to midnight mass and we sing hymns; then we come home very late and we put

mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then all excited, we go to bed and

wait for Santa Claus to come with all our toys.”

“Very nice Malcolm,” she said. “Now Jimmy Smith, what do you do at Christmas?”

“Well, Miss Jones, my sister and I also go to church with Mum and Dad and we sing carols and

we get home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up our stockings.

We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents.”

Realizing there were Jewish boys in the class and not wanting to leave them out of the discussion,

she asked, “Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?”

Isaac said, “Well, Miss Jones, it’s the same thing every year . . . . Dad comes home from the office,

we all pile into the Rolls Royce; then we drive to Dad’s toy factory. When we get inside,

we look at all the empty shelves . . . and begin to sing: ‘What A Friend We Have in Jesus’.
Then we all go to the Bahamas.”

The elite puppet-masters must be undermining civilization on purpose. They have to know that they can’t accept residents who are offended by Christmas moving to Christian countries. Being grateful and accepting norms should be part of being somewhere.

Rebranded out of fear of the violent, conquering Muslims there.

Had a different experience here in Abu Dhabi. The UAEAF officers we’ve been working with all wished us (the US crew) a Merry Xmas. On taxi back from today’s flight the Abu Dhabi ground controller was wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Christmas carols being sung in the hotel as I type. Even in the local supermarket the Filipina cashier wished me a Merry Christmas. The Germans just need to stand up to these jokers but I guess that’s an understatement.

Mark Steyn had a great phrase for actions like that: "Preemptive Cringing".

Muslims need to learn tolerance or get out of our country.
They are here as part of an invasion force that needs to be sent packing.
