Salâmun `alaika yâ al-Masîh! (Peace on You, Jesus)
By Novriantoni
We sometimes fail to remember that many Muslims were no longer interested in building a social gap with others of different faith. They realize that congratulating non-Muslims on their holidays does not contain theological interest, but it is a way to build tolerance and respect among religious disciples.

Partly, I agree with your logical-based argument about the permission on wishing the Christians merry christmas. But, I have some comments about your article though,
1. Why don’t you supply any religious-based (Qur’an or Hadits) in your article just like many clerics do in forbiding Muslim society to wish Merry Christmas to the Christians. It is the tradition of scientific article to be supplied with any necessary evidences, is it?
2. Just like you did in critisizing the some established beliefs in Islam, why didn’t you the same things to some established Christian’s beliefs (in this case, the “disputed” celebration of Christmas on 25 Dec). I think in this case, you are not fair.
3. Do you think that the fundamental “extreme” beliefs are merely rooted in Muslim society? Don’t you know that such beliefs also spreaded in other religions including Christian?
Only Allah SWT. knows everything. thanks Wassalam
