Christmas ornamentation had been put up in an "excessive and provocative way", said Muhyidin Junaedi, one of the chairpersons of the Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI). "It should be done in a proportional manner as Muslims are the majority here, otherwise it will hurt their feelings," he said.

To: Nachum
Aw...it is the old “hurt feelings” argument again. Well, it hurts my feelings when Muslims insist on us kowtowing to them!

Why will their feelings be hurt? Simply because they will be MURDERED if they join a real religion that believes in life and joy?

Satan and his religion really hate being reminded
every single year of his humiliating defeat at the hands of a *Jew*, for crying out loud.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
