Oh dear, the DM article was ok. I know a number of Muslim families who join in all the British celebrations from Bonfire Night, Easter egg hunts, to Christmas. Many have a decorated tree and a special family meal, as do so many of us, whether we're Christian, atheist, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, - you name it, we all like an excuse for a party.
The comments section in the DM is hilarious. So many contributors seem to be fairly off the wall and are not to be taken seriously. You do get some sensible balanced contributions but so many come from Mr or Ms Angry, incensed about life in general.
For what its worth, I thought the OP was misleading.
