From "How one local decision created a national 'War on Christmas'"....
On the plus side, it does appear to be a wake up call to Danes, about Islamic supremacism and separatism.
Christmas is typically such a festive time, but for one housing association in the Zealand town of Kokkedal, it has, thus far, been anything but.On BBC radio yesterday, they interviewed some Danish citizens on the issue. The first one said that this was a matter of "democracy". If the association voted this way, then that was democracy and he was fine with it. I thought, "huh??" What if they voted to institute Sharia in Kokkedal? Would that be fine too? Fact is, no association, no organisation, can vote to contract themselves out of the laws of the country. This case clearly was, in its discrimination against Christian beliefs.
It all started when the association’s nine-person board, five of whom are Muslim, voted against having a Christmas tree this year. They apparently balked at the estimated 7,000 kroner of the tree, but had earlier had no qualms about spending some 60,000 kroner on a party celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid.
On the plus side, it does appear to be a wake up call to Danes, about Islamic supremacism and separatism.
