“The shifting winds of doctrine”..myfriend.

Oh, yes. I might be wrong, but I believe Jews generally differentiate between the Jewish ethnic group and the Jewish religion (Judaism). There is at least some grounds for considering the two to be the same at times.

You may be right, but it just seems like since 9-11 there is an increased effort to get rid of everything that would offend muslims ... Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.

Could be that I'm just paying more attention to it lately.

Take a look at the staff. Not one of them has any experience at life, as a comment on the article pointed out. They are all a bunch young leftist, freshly minted from UK colleges and steeped in ‘multi-cultural’ physcobabble.

New ‘birth ceremonies’, at which the state and parents agree to ‘work in partnership’ to bring up newborns

Oh God is that scary or what?

[rabscuttle385]

Multiculturalism is Balkanization by another name. When introduced into a single State, it almost always results in conflict, division, and the dissolution of the State.

I sit here wondering in astonishment how these kind of people ever make it into positions of power and administration.

We have to root out these people from their so-called positions of responsibility quick before their weak mindedness ends up suffocating us all with socialist/communist/equality laden drivel that's almost impossible to recover from.

Political correctness = cowardliness

[Girlene]

Methinks somebody's been peeing into the think tank again.

LOL. That pretty much sums it up.

[Thorin]

What rubbish.

[redpoll]

Dhimmitude!

Yeah, I’m SURE that the Moslems in Britain are going to “downgrade” Ramadan and the Hajj in order to get along with the rest of the people, too.

Our descendents will use this article as more proof of the suicide of the West. Assuming they’re allowed to read it.

[ripley]

yup. Christmas should be downgraded and the secular powers that be should be deified. yup. (heil hillary!)

[Cacique]

btt

[dragonblustar]

I’m glad I left England.

[knighthawk]

Britain is no longer a Christian nation and Christmas should be downgraded in favour of festivals from other religions to improve race relations, according to an explosive new report.

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

[SJackson]

How do you downgrade a holiday?

[gdc314]

The report robustly defends the doctrine of multiculturalism - the idea that different communities should not be forced to integrate but should be allowed to maintain their own culture and identities...unless you are white...then you must integrate and downgrade your culture and identity.

[The KG9 Kid]

After you said that, I had to check where you live now to make sure you weren’t setting yourself up for another disappointment, but I see you’re in Kentucky so you’re safe.

[sheik yerbouty]

It sounds like Labour’s stink tank..
