Happy Eid-El-Kabir
I wish every Muslim in the forum a happy celebration. This feast marks the call to our religious duties. As you celebrate today may Allah grant you all your heart desires and to a peaceful life to work with him. I have some Muslim friends down here in my country and on this day,they show love to everybody around them by giving gifts and drinks to them.
Islam is a very interesting religion that deserves respect. I recently saw the video of Salwan Momika burning the Holy Koran and it was not a good sight. And this hate crime was done in front of a well-known mosque, that's bad. We should respect the belief of others and allow everyone to worship the way they want. I had some Muslim friends and their good character is commendable. They were reliable and had integrity. Islam would have been my best option if I have not been converted to my present religion. I wish all the Muslims, Happy Salah .
I know that Christians has their own feast days but my question is this
1. As a Christian, do you have any Muslim friend that you will be celebrating with him today
I don't have any of my Muslim friends around now. And I have moved to an area that has fewer Muslims and I have not had contact with them. So I just enjoyed the holiday with my family.
2. Is it good as a Christian to partake in such feast that is not of Christian. Does this show love and unity,if one does th?t.
Why not? I am not part of those religious fanatics that believe that their religion is the best. They treat other people's religions as inferior, so they don't want to associate with other religions. This perception is wrong because no religion is perfect or the best. And we are human before we became religious. As much as it doesn't involve some barbaric rituals or inhuman or illegal activities I can partake of any religious festivals of any religion.
