Kalam

Claiming that you're not racist/religiously-intolerant even after posting links after links and updating status after status saying that wishing Merry Christmas is against your aqidah is like claiming that Gaddafi was not a killer just because he was a Muslim.

It does not compute.

From my (limited) observation, I think that most Malays and Muslims in Malaysia forget that Islam is fair and treats everyone equally. Wishing Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the festival does not make you a believer that Nabi Isa was born on Dec 25th, but it shows that you're being courteous. Yes, I googled and I know that Ijma' Ulama is divided between to allow it or to make it haram. I'm of the opinion that Islam is not a cruel religion and it does not want its followers to incite hatred against people of other faith.

I may be wrong here, but why are you so afraid that making a mere wish would lead you astray? Is your aqidah that fragile?   

I really wish that we Muslims are not this divided and paranoid.

DAH TENGOK! Itu lah pasal, Christmas was first celebrated a few CENTURIES after the alleged birth date of Jesus Christ, so kalau kita wish pun, bukannya sebab kita percaya dia lahir 25/12, tapi untuk social reasons. Betul tak?
