A Muslim lawyer has launched an extraordinary rant against Christmas, branding the celebration 'evil'. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary claimed the festival was the 'pathway to hell' and urged his followers to boycott it. 'In the world today many Muslims, especially those residing in Western countries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas,' he raged in a sermon broadcast on the internet.

'Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners. 'Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah. 'Many still practise this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth of Jesus. 'How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that

How ironic: Christmas was introduced as a substitute for pagan celebrations of the winter solstice and is now becoming branded a pagan holiday. What’s next, evil harvest celebrations?

'Christmas is the pathway to hell'

Funny, the majority of the American Sheep agree with him.

And most Catholics.

Most Catholics? Where do you get that from?

Many Muslims are going to experience a very rude awakening at the Second Coming!

I'm conservative. I'm offended by the Muslim in this article. I find his attitude bigoted. I also find the author of this article bigoted because he repeated this mad man's rant.

I'm sorry for him that he doesn't understand that Christmas is a special time of year.

If the Muslims are offended by Western ways then they need to return to their own countries.

Does the Daily Mail really think it needs to report everything some disgruntled, dissatisfied Muslim says?

“And most Catholics”

Get over it. Your boy lost.

Just a hunch but I would say blowing up buildings and airplanes is a pathway to hell.

'Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah.

Allah's about as much fun as a fart in an elevator.

Where’s the pub-soaked soccer hooligans when you need ‘em? It’d be kinda funny if this “lawyer” got himself punched up in some narrow London street.
