"With Christmas looming this Thursday, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) has once again stirred up controversy by saying Malays should not wish Christians “Merry Christmas” and celebrate along with them.
" 'According to Isma activist Abu Ameen in his commentary, while it was natural for Muslims to show kindness to their fellow neighbours as part of Allah’s commandments, the community should also ask themselves whether this gesture is permissible under Islam.
“'Especially at this time and age, Muslims should not be singled out as being unfriendly or not part of the community.
“ 'How then can a simple wish be non-permissible in Islam? Many Muslims are also confused how saying ‘Merry Christmas’ and participating in Christmas celebration is considered a blasphemy for them.”
From the Iron Burka: "The message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:18), and those who deny that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God are antichrist (1 John 2:22).
"Don’t wish Christians ‘Merry Christmas’ says Isma."
