Iraqi Christians were allowed to celebrate Christmas throughout much of Iraq’s history up until the modern day. Same way the Jewish community was dhimmi-tolerated until after the founding of Israel when it became a political issue.

To pretend that the present is the same as the past is to ignore the rapid acceleration of Islamic hostility in modern times.
