UK reality TV star and former boxer Amir Khan has been trolled on Instagram over a post showing a Christmas tree he set up for his daughter.

Khan shared the post, writing that he'd put it up for three-year-old daughter Lamaisah, setting it up overnight so she'd wake up and see it.

"While everyone's asleep, daddy put the Christmas tree up. Lamaisah is going to be so happy," she said.

Since sharing the post just one day ago, Khan has been accused of betraying Islam and has even been threatened with death over his decision to set up the tree which is associated with Christmas, originally a Christian celebration to mark the birth of Jesus.

"You mut be dead and your family will be death i promise and allah must promise i and allah see you and check you your angel death came too see you," said mohammadalaidaengreza.

"As a fellow muslim, I'm appauld by seeing this," wrote nosheensheikh07. "A Christmas tree represents CELTIC PAGAN tradition. Are you a Pagan?! Putting up a Christmas tree means you accept pagan culture and it's not about 'JUST FUN'. It's SHIRK! Why are so called Muslims imitating the kuffar and adopting pagan traditions?! May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala GUIDE you brother because you're pleasing the kuffar and displeasing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala."

"Muslim parents are supposed to teach their children we don't celebrate Christmas, whether or not it's for a child it's wrong full stop," bri_89x commented.

mu1zz_@makeupparties said, "Amir khan should not have put this tree up n say merry Christmas cuz that is what Christian believes and not Muslims. ASTAGFIRULLAH."

Christmas is only four weeks away - but rather than being joyful - the festive season can be a time of stress and anxiety. Join journalist Emmy Kubainski and clinical psychologist Kirstin Bouse as they offer some helpful tips and tricks to get you through this time of year in one piece:

"Islam forbids the celebration of other religions," said analee_b_nzz. "And its not haters u idotic individual.. its stating a fact.... muslims who celebrate xmas are weak & committing a big sin... u should always try and improve urself in every aspect NOT go further into sin."

And then many Muslims confessed to also following so-called "pagan" traditions, saying they didn't feel celebrating Christmas compromised their religion at all.

"This day is a pagan day from the three pagan ritual," wrote akhirahovenduycaa. "Your not getting the point he's Muslim not a Christian and we know that this day is a paganism and it goes against Islam. What aren't you understanding. No one is saying it isn't a pagan Christian day."

Fellow Muslim parents explained they feel it's important to participate in such traditions in order to teach their children "religious tolerance."

"Im pretty sure he is doing it for his kid," dr.chou88 said.

"It being a holiday season. As long as he teaches her that Muslim don’t celebrate Christmas and not take part in other traditions of Christmas. Also by putting a tree and some lights outside your house you can show appreciation and love to Christian neighbors and build religious tolerance."

I am with Amir Khan. I will be buying Christmas Tree tomorrow and decorating. I already made a snowman last week. Santa Claus melted with the mile weather.
I used to make snowman every year....and I'm planning a two night stay at Ice hotel in February 2018. But what does the snowman has to do with xmas?
 
Nothing. It snows here in December so there tends to be association by default.
It is pretty erratic here in Dec, it snows one day but melts the next day.

The truth is Xmas is now secular celebration. Evrerybody can partake in it. It has precious little to do with religion or Christianity. Even Chinese celebrate it.
I gave an Xmas dinner to my employees on Dec. 14. though only halal food was served (i.e. no pork and drinks)
 
It is pretty erratic here in Dec, it snows one day but melts the next day.
Same here. But I think we should be relaxed and open to other religions. I certainly do not feel scared of "others". We have to have faith in ourselves. Instead worrying about other people's beliefs we ought to look at ourselves. I am however very, very conservative. But not threatened by those who have differant views as long as they don't impose it on my private space.
 
What type of people think its ok to threaten someone with death for a fucking christmas tree.... smh

I am only buying if Santa is really going to leave presents at my tree not take things out of my house and climb out of the window and get into his van.
Depends if you have been a good boy or not this year
 
My line manager (a Muslim) has organised a party for Christmas for our entire team (implying that he's celebrating it).

Considering the fact that almost everybody hates his/her boss, I'm hoping that some pious Muslim will "take care of him" if you know what I mean.:sick:

It is a cultural thing when you live in community that celebrates it , it is normal to be involved and wish people well

Muslims also do believe in Eissa (Jesus) so not a major issue , from my stand point.

We have far bigger things to resolve

May be Twitter Champs should challenge Amir in Boxing ring and say it to his face :coffee:, I would pay to watch that Pay per view

Having Christmas tree has nothing to do with religious belief, It is an event like new Year for non Christians.
