Isn't it customary in a free society like ours to acknowledge the holy days of other religions, not by participating necessarily, but just passing on greetings? For example, in most newspapers, you see a friendly acknowledgement of the holiday and best wishes to Christians, Jews or Muslims, the latter during Ramadan.
Not in places like Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq or Egypt, where Christians are under deadly assault. But here in the US, would you not expect an organization like CAIR, which purports to be the largest moderate Muslim organization in America, express something on Christmas day or during Hannukah? Considering what is going on in the above countries, don't you think CAIR might want to express a message of tolerance?
Below is CAIR's national web site as of just a couple of minutes ago.

I went to the CAIR site to search for season's greetings but I was as unsuccessful as you. I noticed a link to "Muslim Victims on 911". Here is what they wrote:
"Muslims represented 1.07% of all those who died (a total of 2976 people died in all the events) Muslims represented 1.11% of all those who died at the World Trade Center (2605 died at WTC) It is safe to say that American Muslims represent 1% of the total U.S. population."
Now, since the US is over 300 million, amd the
Muslims are about 10 million here, they represent about 3% of the population. That means 3% or 99 of those who were killed should have Muslim. So if 32 were killed that means a lot of them stayed home that day. They were probably at their brokers offices buying airline company puts. I'm just saying there is more statistical evidence that Muslims where buying those mythical puts.

I have no idea where CAIR gets 10 million Muslims in the US.
Pew Research puts the number at 2.5 million. And I trust Pew Research before I would trust CAIR.
CAIR has this burning need to show that there are as many Muslims in this country as there are Jews. Hence they WAY overinflate the numbers of muslims. The actual number is maybe 3 million. They just can't keep from lying and deceiving. Taqiyya is their way of life.
Why Gary, I don't recall you wishing Hamas a Merry Christmas!
Nor, come to think of it, have you wished CAIR the blessings of Eid or Ramadan any year at all.
Wah! CAIR didn't wish me a Merry Christmas! Wah!
Grow up.
Believe it or not, I do give good wishes to Muslims I know on Ramadan.
Cool. Just haven't seen any evidence of it here. It seems petty to deride someone because they failed to give the desired holiday greetings, as if it were obligatory, and as if it would mean anything if it were obligatory. Maybe CAIR didn't mean to wish anyone a Merry Christmas.
