Here's an idea: NO MORE MUSLIMS coming to this country until we sort everything out.

And any who want to emigrate here afterward have to wear an ankle bracelet, eat a BLT and do five shots of Tequila.

That's ridiculous.

This story has recently become headline news. Often omitted in the reporting is that Lars Gule is a jew hating terrorist wanna be bomber. But let that be a detail. As America seems to be opening to welcoming lots of Syrian refugees and muslim immigration just to piss off the Trump, how would you feel giving up alcohol at Christmas celebrations to make your new muslim neighbors feel more welcome?

If the idea is inclusion and not exclusion, sure. I'd do it. But there's one major problem here: Muslims don't celebrate Christmas. So, it's a moot point. :shrug:

why? some muslims are say world class doctors-one of whom I know. I am glad he came here. He has helped friends of mine with pernicious ailments. people are innocent until proven scum bags. ankle bracelets are for scum bags.

BTW I don't drink -I have been to parties with Muslims. Neither they nor I get upset that alcohol is offered at the party.

pissing off trump is just a bonus

would not give up alcohol for some ones religion though i dont drink any way so big deal

darn it now i want some alcohol free eggnog the good stuff where they use cream and not just low fat milk

CURSE YOU NATAN!!!!
 
this is basically saying let's have one religion give up less freedoms so another religion feels accepted; that's ridiculous! What we should be saying is if you want to drink go ahead, and if your religion says you can't drink don't.
 
I don't drink any more, so....
 
I think the question might better be worded "would you support an alcohol free holiday gathering (at home, at work, or other) because some attendees are bothered by the presence of alcohol?"

Specifically, for the purposes of making members of the religion of Islam more comfortable.
