Christian and Crusader (Meaning "those" Crusaders) should not even be used
in the same sentence!
That being said, your post is good advise to all!

This thread is not only off topic, it's becoming ridiculous. Nobody is
telling anyone not to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, or whatever
they want to say. The so called "attack on Christmas" is an invention of
right-wing talk radio and TV. It simply doesn't exist. As for Biblical
times and later, there is a rich history of what went on, for anyone who
wants to explore. Later than Biblical Times, Saladin accommodated the
Jews, while the Christian Crusaders did not. I think it's time to stop
this discussion. There's plenty of information available and I think the
participants should take some time out to learn about it and, then,
continue the conversation someplace else.

My point is these same people want to take away my right to say MERRY
CHRISTMAS in public, so wile I am not insensitive to what happened I am
sick and tired of being told that my beliefs are some how wrong!
Now for a side thought, perhaps this was the Lords pay back for all of
the innocent people the Jewish people killed in Biblical times, unless
of course you don't believe in the Bible, or history!

As soon as the murder of 6 million innocent people ceases to matter.
Hopefully that day will never come. Thanks for your sensitivity,
Terry.
you know I'm not German, and I'm not Jewish so when am I going to
get to not have to listen to the holocaust crap any more?!

In the UK we're not allowed to mention "Christmas" because it's
divisive.
We have to be totally fair and even handed these days where other
ethnic groups are concerned (* Note 1)
But why???
Everyone is mentioned in that Story.
At least among those who brought the gifts . . .
