I don't see why it needs a justification.
It's not as though the advert was depicting the actual religious meaning behind Christmas. They were portraying the food, gifts, winter wonderland ideal that was brought in by the retail industry to make millions. Everyone seems to celebrate that aspect, even atheists and *gasps* Muslims. |

People need to get over it. It’s like people who get shocked that some Muslims drink, do drugs or gamble, stop stealing our culture Muslims!

This whole 'UK is Racist narrative' thing you are trying to push is quite nonsensical and isn't reflected in my posts nor the original article. |

Lets look at it from another angle, would Tesco's feature a Christian family in an advert for a Muslim festival? I don't think so. People may well celebrate Christmas for all the wrong reasons, but it is still a Christian festival, so I can see it rubbing some people the wrong way. Personally, I couldn't give a crap, the whole thing is just commercialised nonsense, but I do think people have a right to be offended by it

But Muslims do believe in the birth of Christ. Jesus is mentioned repeatedly in the Quran as a great prophet and messenger of God. In fact, Muslims, through the Hadiths, follow Jesus back through lineage to his great ancestors, which makes them firm believers in Jesus. Like Christians, Muslims preach that Jesus was without sin. The birthplace and birth dates of Jesus is different in the Quran to what it is in the bible but Muslims still recognize the birth of Christ as the birth of a great prophet.
The reason Muslims don't normally celebrate Christmas is because they've been raised to believe that Christmas day was modeled after Saturnalia, a Roman Pagan holiday honoring the deity Saturn that was later adopted by Christians. Muslims, like Pagans, believe Christ was born in July. In Muslim countries, they (unless you're a Christian) don't celebrate Christmas day but in Europe, Christmas is a national holiday that's celebrated by Pagans, Christians, Atheists, and some Muslims.

Xmas ads are basically like the Superbowl for the UK. It always makes me laugh when Brits talk shhh-it about America for the fuss about Super Bowl ads, but it's literally the same for Christmas ads in the UK, except instead of looking for something clever and funny, y'all just look for something that makes you feel any kind of emotion. Brits are desperate for something emotional.

edited to add: most Christian faiths don't think Jesus is God. They believe Jesus was the son of God and appointed by God.

It is indeed - a man-made ideology just like all religion. People can believe in what they like but when they start trying to shove it down the thoroats of the rest of us then it becomes a problem.

Can Christians stop pretending it's their holiday? It's MY holiday to stuff as many pigs in blankets down my big fat gob as I can.
