It seems clear that Muslims aren't to be allowed to celebrate Christmas, yes?

Quite the contrary....

Christmas is nothing to the muslims, so i dont think they have the need to celebrate it, let alone "Being allowed".

Same applies for Eid towards Christains, Do you make Eid? Or are you not allowed to?
 
In Pakistan 25th of Dec is a public holiday but just because it is the birthday of the Quaid.
 
I don't think so there is any harm in celebrating christmas for muslims.
It depends on your intention i.e you are either considering Jesus(PBUH) a prophet or God.

Muslims who celebrate it do it as considering Jesus(PBUH) a prophet.
Like they celebrate 12th Rabi ul Awal i.e the birthday of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).
Even there are contrary claims to 12th date, but majority is agreed to celebrate it on this day just to put away the confusion.

So what, if its not an actual date.
Who would have a 100% exact date for such old events?

If a group of people agree to celebrate it on some special(one day) then whats the problem.
 
To be honest, all this religious pressures are double edge swords. People should be allowed to practice what they want. But for the Sultanate of Brunei, i suppose the Sultan has a role to safeguard Islam's preeminence in the Sultanate. If he does not then there's no reason why Malaysia should not just subsume Brunei as part of ....Sarawak....

It is due to British mate, Malaysia is not like Indonesia who revolt against his European invader.

@Indos

I was pleasantly surprised that Brunei is not part of the Saudi alliance while sad that Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Maldives are. As expected Indonesia is not part of the alliance.

The coalition is lead by 30 years old Prince who is not yet famous in the Muslim World, no surprised. But I do support military action in Syria, previous government under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has promised to bring ground troops to Syria if it is a UN decision.
 
How can you not? Bro, they're a major oil producing country, lol!

:o: Huh? Didn't know we were a Muslim nation too:p::

I'm not religious and know very few people who associate Christmas with Christianity, but I do love me some free stuff:angel:.

I've been extra naughty this year:partay:.

Merry Christmas everyone and Mubarak to our Muslim friends.
 
Do christians celebrate Eid? Is there any christian country that has Eid as a national holiday?

Good statement, Indonesia as the most populous Muslim majority nation on earth has Islam, Christian, Hindu, Budha, Chinese new year as its National Holiday. Even for the Christian, not only Christmas we make their special day as our national holiday.

In here, Christian schools are many, people have freedom to establish such school.

Despite that, Muslim becomes more conservative as Pew Research show, so for me, just let Christian celebrate their happy moment as we also celebrate ours.
