@loup_dargent @ElizabethR1533 @WeAreTheBrits Only person I can think of in British history who banned Christmas, was Oliver Cromwell... #EDL

@everythingedl @loup_dargent @ElizabethR1533 @WeAreTheBrits Its the pagan festivals of saturnalia & yule AND Jesus would have banned it.

@MoAnsar Regardless, Xtians celebrate a day allotted to his birth & retell the story. Non-Xtians need to respect that #religioustolerance

@LutherBlissetts Creating a false festival (which #Jesus would condemn) & criticising others for correcting the waywardness - beyond irony.

@MoAnsar No offence, but I don't think it's for you or I to dictate a tradition which was fixed for celebration on that day 1,657 years ago

@LutherBlissetts Calling to account on a divisive issue such as fallacy of Xmas is important. No room for intolerance but challenge, yes.

@MoAnsar It's not fallacy. Both Western & Eastern Churches celebrate, but not on same day due to calendrical differences #religioustolerance

@LutherBlissetts No, it is an absolute fallacy. Followers of Christ partaking in a pagan festival? Cognitive dissonance, pure and simple.

@MoAnsar And for those efforts I was called "fake Jew" an "Ashkenazi at best" an "Islamic apologist", when my motivation was to impart truth

@MoAnsar Ashkenazi are not Khazar. Atzmon (2010) study of 7 Jewish groups incl Ashkenazi shows Middle Eastern ancestry bit.ly/nYgB5B

@MoAnsar @LutherBlissetts The science on this one is very clear. MoAnsar is simply wrong. Should ask himself: why was I lied to about this?
