This is rumoured to have cost £7 million and whilst I'm sure it is very clever all I see is a monster under a child's bed that reminds me of Jimmy Saville  |

Tesco has defended its Christmas advert after it came under fire for featuring a Muslim family.
The festive short film follows a string of families celebrating Christmas Day as they prepare dinner, pull crackers and feast on leftovers.
One scene shows a Muslim family greeting each other with gifts as they arrive at someone’s house.
The clip sparked a racist backlash with some deeming the clip “very wrong” while others vowed to boycott the supermarket.
If all us atheists ceased to celebrate it, turkey farmers would go out of business.
Shame on the Islamaphobes!

Muslims can't do right. If they don't celebrate Christmas they're not integrating, if that do they're appropriating "our" culture and probably don't mean it anyway.

Christians should come out and show solidarity with their Muslim brethren.
But I bet they don't.

Christians nicked the celebrations from pagans, why shouldn't the Muslims nick them from Christians
If you believe the Bible, Jesus didn't care who or what you were. Only bigoted so called Christians differentiate - notably Ulster Unionists

As a Christian I have no issue whatsoever with anyone celebrating the non-Christian aspect of Christmas, the same as I have no problem with Christmas cards that don't have a religious theme or films about Santa, or Christmas Trees and anything like that. I do know some Christians that do feel it should be more high profile e.g. I know one vicar that took on Sainsbury's when not one of their Christmas Card range had a religious theme and all of them were non-religious, they agreed to make that change and have done this year. I think it was a small point but a good one.
However for most of us Christians we understand that for many people this has become a family friendly holiday and Muslims acknowledge the birth of Jesus and the prophesies telling of his birth. Jesus is one of their prophets, they don't usually have any problem with Nativity Plays or celebrations associated with any of the prophets births. Several Muslim ladies helped me make clothes for the Nativity Play when my children were in Junior school. They don't believe he was the son of god and that's the difference but they have no problem whatsoever celebrating his birth and they don't have a problem having a good time with their families either.
