Saudi Arabia gears up for Haloween with queues for pumpkins and costumes

I mentioned it's not a problem to have fun. They seem to have a preference for European origin festivals though.

Any Pakistani or Asian festival ? you want Saudi's to celebrate Holi ? Diwali ?

They also have some of the most open marriage laws today and in that respect no qualms about marrying divorcées compared to the Bani Bakistan who think divorcée’s are achoot.. being the Hindu-muslims they are.

"Bani Bakistan" but it certainly is not good if in a self-proclaimed Islam torchbearer country the attitudes towards divorcee women is same as of the Hindutvadis.

I don't celebrate Diwali but pretty sure it has better meaning than Halloween. If they can celebrate Halloween they can celebrate anything. How about their own ancient festival.

Halloween is Celtic pagan festival mixed with Christian Saints festival. Saudis condemn people for 'worshiping graves' and calling on dead spirits, meanwhile they celebrate Halloween.

The dark history behind Halloween is even more chilling than you realized

The day's morbid traditions go back to ancient times. Samhain, the Celtic festival of the summer's end celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. According to Celtic mythology, the veil between the Otherworld and our world thins during Samhain, making it easier for spirits and the souls of the dead to return. People would make offerings of food in order to get on the good side of these spirits and departed ancestors, according to the Mirror.

Yeah so? Its just a bunch of people having fun grow up

So maybe they should stop condemning people for worshiping graves while celebrating the coming of dead ancestors, offering food to appease their spirits. Who said that isn't fun.

As long as they dont harm others I dont care what they do

I know a lot of people here in America who don't celebrate Holoween because its a Pagan holiday. Its a really contentious issue in Christian churches. Many of my christian classemates weren't allowed to celebrate it. But Saudi can apparently.

Its the hypocrisy that is infuriating. They call themselves the "land of tawheed"

 

[Arsalan345]

Terrorists gather to celebrate Halloween lol.

People are mixing Christianity with Samhain. The festival of Samhain predates the arrival of Christianity by a thousand years or so. The night is about when the spirit world and human world collide and demons enter our realm. People would lay food, sweet treats to please such entities, or at the very least not make their homes targets.
All Saints day was put forward to prevent people engaging in it, and also convert the masses.
What’s happened now is that it’s gone to its traditional pagan roots, and nothing is left of anything Christian.
Now how many of you have spoken to satanists, dark Wiccans etc? Do you know the founder of the church of Satan actually said that he’d like to thank every Christian family in the US for allowing their children to celebrate Halloween. He goes on to say it’s their scared night.
Dressing up your kids in satanic costumes, giving out sweets, having parties etc is not just ‘fun’, it does mark you and your children out for satanic possession. Speak to the alims involved in exorcisms and how mere acts like this have caused havoc in Muslim homes.
Also tell me why are the Islamic scholars of the world UNITED on the opinion it’s totally forbidden? You name Sufi, Salafi, Shia etc. They all say stay away, and no it’s not the same as Christmas, as regardless of whether we agree or not good acts go on e.g. charity and they have Christ(as) as the focal point.
The only thing you please doing Samhain are the demons roving around, and they must be wetting themselves laughing that the land of the final revelation is now a place which pleases them.
Allah protect us from such evil.

line between the only two groups since forever is becoming clear with each passing day

each of us Must Choose carefully

A lot f things are happening on ground, and are perfectly being Shadowed by such Topi Dramas and Diversion acts aka Truck ki Batti

What tactics has been played in Pakistan for years to divert attention of masses from real concerns is now being successfully implemented across the globe on Muslims.

Brace for Impacts in coming years since we are ignorant of realities on ground

Not anymore VISION 2030

There is 2030,
and there is Vision

However That 2030 is not which we are expecting
and That Vision is not what we are going to be happy with

Until a 100 years ago they said loudspeakers were haraam and now their entire lives revolve around it

and now they trend on youtube

This is what being too strict does to a society. It backfires and your children become animals.

Halloween has no religious affiliation but Diwali has, so you want to celebrate Pagan rituals in KSA but have issues with Halloween? huh

 

[King Julien]

World should definitely have more celebration & be joyful...
