i may have come in a bit late for this, but heres my 2 cents worth anyways
in oz every christmas talkback radio shows get flooded with rednecks complaining that xmas trees and decorations havent been put up in shopping centres or theyve been put up late, and usually they target shopping centres where theres a large ethnic and muslim community. so they give the muslim community a bashing in the name of political correctness regardless of whther its true or not...usually not.
i live in one of the most ethnically diverse communities in sydney. i'm muslim, and being my liberal self, have noooooo problems with xmas whatsoever. neither does my conservative family! regardless of whther we celebrate xmas or not is another issue, but we are not offended by xmas at all, and i love going to the mall during xmas to see what the buzz is all about. the only thing i hate about xmas is finding a parking spot!
on the otehr hand, the rabbi could have been a covert tree hugger who just didnt want any more trees cut down. now thats a conspiracy!
for me
