Eid al-Adha is a major Muslim holiday that marks the conclusion of the pilgrimage to Mecca, and will be celebrated Nov 26th thru Nov 29th.

Like it or not, many of Best Buy’s customers are Muslim. I don’t have a problem with them recognizing that, as long as they remember Christmas and Hannukah in the same way.

Exactly, I agree with you 100%. If you recognize on particular holiday during the holiday season, you need to recognize them all - including Christmas.

According to the Wikipedia:
‘Eid al-Adha “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Eid” is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha’
