oh i agree i am not saying that they should give days off for Ied or Ramadan or anything like that what i am saying is that Xmas in forced on us(again not me i enjoy it and i love it) so when you force it on other peeps, It's understandable that The others have a right to say fine force a holiday but dont force a religious one.
