You are the one who wants to import a muslim idea. """

No, I want the US to stay as it has been and not become more Muslim-like. One of the distinguishing features of this country has been that Christmas has been honored and respected, by stores closing. In contrast, one of the distinguishing features of life in a Muslim country is that Dec. 25 is treated like every other day, the stores are open and retail thrives. You want the Muslim's tradition of ignoring Christmas introduced to the US. I don't - and that's the difference between us.

You are deliberately, I believe, misrepresenting my position so that you can attack it.

Nowhere on this thread have I said that we should ignore Christmas. On the contrary, I've said that I celebrate it. And I've said that if it is treated as an ordinary business day, that the cultural significance of Christmas would be threatened.

My position, which has been consistent on this thread, is that having a grocery store open on Christmas Day is no threat to Christmas or Christians.

It is no different than gas stations which are open. Many aren't, but some are, and those that need gasoline on that day are glad because of it.
