Yeah, so don't enjoy Halloween, or in the name of saving you, your parents will have to shoot, club, behead, knife or stone you to death to save their honor and your soul.

Partying, getting candy, and dressing up like the Headless Horseman is a lot more fun and less evil than performing a real beheading.

Darn, is it too late to go Trick or Treating?
With your left hand even. :)
Halloween, or Samhain, is not Islamic, nor is it really Christian. Come on there has got to be Fundamentalist Christian arguments against Halloween/ Samhain too!
Samhain is an Irish tradition, that does have to do with giving rewards on that day to those who send the spirits back to where they came from.
All Saints and All Souls Days, Nov 1st and Nov 2nd respectively are Catholic holidays.
Good Muslims prob shouldn’t celebrate... but then again who actually knows what they’re following now anyways. It’s just become a tradition to dress up and see how much candy you can get... Most of the time it has nothing to do with remembering a person’s ancestors!
Now a days when the kids want to dress up as some scary
form of evil......they dress as moslims.
You just know some guys had Hellfire missiles
with “Trick or Treat?” Written on them in Afghanistan.
Oh that’s right, war isn’t supposed to be fun anymore,
me bad.
I guess if I put Satan up there with Allah, I mean
come on it’s a duality we are talking about, then
I’m shirking again. Islam, you can’t get away with
nothing, so try not breathing.
Silence! Or I keel you!
What happens when Lucifer gets dissed? He gets angry and violent, and calls on his followers to do likewise.
Not much like the Judeo-Christian God at all....
LOL...what was that quote by Ann Coulter mocking liberals, something like “We don’t want to offend muslims who hate us and wish for our destruction, because that will make them hate us and wish for our destruction!”
That’ll finally wake up Americans to what’s in store for them—Don’t mess with our Reese’s Cups, dude!
Halloween is indeed Christian and solidly so. All Saints was known in England as All Hallows, and All Hallows’ Eve was the vigil of the feast.
The Samhain connection gets bandied about a lot—personally, I think too much is made of it. While it may well be that Samhain traditions got fused with All Hallows traditions in the British Isles, they are not the same holiday, nor did Halloween come from Samhain.
In the early Middle Ages, All Saints Day was celebrated around the world at different times. The Nov. 1 date was first established at Rome, not Ireland, and in fact the earliest Irish calendars show that the Irish originally celebrated All Saints’ Day in April.
Any connection between the two holidays came about later when All Saints was moved to November.
