Even Muslims Upset by Banning of Christmas
Plans by Oxford city council to ban the world Christmas from this year's festival celebrations are drawing rebukes from Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders for changing long-established British traditions. "I'm really upset about this," Sabir Hussain Mirza, chairman of the Muslim Council of Oxford, told the Oxford Mail on Sunday, November 2. "This is the one occasion which everyone looks forward to in the year. Christians, Muslims and other religions all look forward to Christmas."
