PC officials who're afraid of offending anyone

This is actually very important, this "fear of offending".

Key point: No one is offended. It's a lie, told to intimidate a kindly and tolerant nation.

Think about it: If you go to Turkey, are you "offended" when the muezzin calls the people to prayer from a minaret, because you are not a Moslem? When in Israel, are you offended when you see people observing the sabbath? In Tibet, does the existence of prayer wheels in public offend you? In India, when stores are closed for the festival of Ganesh. do you lose self-esteem?

The whole idea that non-Christians are (or, if they are, they are right to be) offended by public celebrations of Christmas is an absurdity.
