Happy Eid al-adha ?

[890SHAWN]

"Never been a Christian nation"? Have you ever read the Mayflower Compact, The Declaration of Independence, the Bill Of Rights, and other original US founding documents? They ALL lay the ground work for a Christian Nation. We have accepted political correctness and the loud voices of a few athiest to take away our God given rights and impose their non-beliefs on us. They can rewrite history but they cannot change the truth.
Stores have their right to promote ANY ideals that they want to, but we have the right to voice our dissent and go to stores that respect our Christian values. Merry Christmas.

So people get mad if their choice of holiday isn't explicitly exploited in an advertisement?

Eid al-Adha is not customarily a gift-giving holiday; people who celebrate it are much less likely to shop exorbitantly than those of us who celebrate the commercialized Christmas holiday. Best Buy's interest is to get more people in their doors, they know Christians are already coming in droves because they have to, they stand to make more money by appealing to another demographic and expanding holiday gift-giving.

I'd say their execs have perfectly logical reasoning behind placing "Happy Eid al-Adha" in the add. Now, getting jealous over an advertisement....that doesn't seem nearly as rational.

Uh ...

1. Thanksgiving is a secular holiday, so there's no question of political correctness here.
2. Eid al Adha starts on Nov. 27, which is NOT thanksgiving, it's black friday, which this ad is for. It is generally not custom to wish someone a happy black friday.
3. Eid al Adha is apparently a gift-buying occasion, which thanksgiving is not.
4. Best buy doesn't have a policy of not recognizing religious holidays, and in fact explicitly recognizes them by policy.

There is nothing AT ALL to this, and frankly anyone who is going nuts over it is a xenophobic rube. Best Buy is acknowledging cultural diversity, what is the big problem with that? When did we become a nation of such narrow-minded bigots?
