(1) What non-Muslim in their right mind sends their children to an Islamic school?

(2) You’ll find plenty of Christians that hold the same attitude toward Halloween—it’s a pagan holiday that celebrates evil, and should be avoided—so it’s hard (as a Christian) to critisize the Muslims on this one.

Plenty of Christians are wrong.

Halloween is at heart a Christian holy day. It’s the vigil of All Saints Day, i.e. All Hallows Eve.

Halloween is a Christian holiday. All Hallowed Eve is the day before All Saints Day. All Christians should celebrate the Saints.

And let me make it clear, lest I am misunderstood. The way Halloween is celebrated nowadays is, in many ways, atrocious and disgusting. I get that. I’m a Christian myself and I won’t tolerate any glorification of evil or witchcraft in my house.

My children dress as saints. And we commemorate all those who have gone before us and now live their lives fully within Christ. That’s the way we keep it at our house.

Fundamentalist churches hereabouts have also stopped mentioning the holiday or holding kiddies’ parties.
