To add a little proof to your stupid comment. Malaysia is a Muslim country, there are other people with other religions that live there peacefully but the majority are Muslim. In the centre of Kuala Lumpur during the Christian holiday of Christmas they have lights and banners celebrating Christmas. Nobody get's offended, lots of Muslims say merry Christmas to Christians and everyone get's along just fine.
I have seen it with my own eyes.
Also, Kota Bharu, the most Islamic city in Malaysia welcomes westerners with open arms. They do ask for respect and to abide by their rules but there is no outcry if a female wears a short skirt or if a few beers are being drunk.
It's idiotic comments from people like you that fuel hatred
TWAT
I landed in KL on Christmas Day one year and waited ages for a taxi. Was mildly surprised when I was told it was "because it's Christmas"
Mind you, I'm no religious scholar and I'm not entirely clear on the Muslim view of Jesus. I gather they regard him as a prophet (rather than the son of god) so they are somewhat less opposed to him than Jews (I'm sure a TEF expert could correct me here).
Edit: From the bearer of all knowledge that is Wikipedia:
Isa ( Arabic: عيسى, Transliteration: ʿĪsā ), known as Jesus in the New Testament, is considered to be a Messenger of God and the Masih (Messiah) in Islam[1] who was sent to guide the Children of Israel (banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl or Gospel.[2] The belief in Jesus (and all other messengers of God) is required in Islam, and a requirement of being a Muslim. The Quran mentions Jesus by name twenty-five times, while it only mentions Muhammad by name four times as Muhammad and once as Ahmad; making it a total of five times.[3][4] It states that Jesus was born to Mary (Arabic: Maryam) as the result of virginal conception, a miraculous event which occurred by the decree of God (Arabic: Allah). To aid in his ministry to the Jewish people, Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles (such as healing the blind, bringing dead people back to life, etc.), all by the permission of God rather than of his own power.
Edit, Edit: This page, again from
the font of all knowledge, is interesting:
Islamic–Jewish relations started in the 7th century CE with the origin and spread of Islam in the Arabian peninsula. The two religions share similar values, guidelines, and principles.[1] Islam also incorporates Jewish history as a part of its own. Muslims regard the Children of Israel as an important religious concept in Islam. Moses, the most important prophet of Judaism, is also considered a prophet and messenger in Islam.[2] Moses is mentioned more in the Quran than any other individual, and his life is narrated and recounted more than that any other prophet.[3] There are approximately forty-three references to the Israelites in the Quran (excluding individual prophets),[4] and many in the Hadith. Later rabbinic authorities and Jewish scholars such as Maimonides discussed the relationship between Islam and Jewish law. Maimonides himself, it has been argued, was influenced by Islamic legal thought.[5]
Because Islam and Judaism share a common origin in the Middle East through Abraham, both are considered Abrahamic religions. There are many shared aspects between Judaism and Islam; Islam was strongly influenced by Judaism in its fundamental religious outlook, structure, jurisprudence and practice.[1] Because of this similarity, as well as through the influence of Muslim culture and philosophy on the Jewish community within the Islamic world, there has been considerable and continued physical, theological, and political overlap between the two faiths in the subsequent 1,400 years.
tldr, but it gives a sense that the whole Islam v Judaism thing is more political that religion based.
