Muslim to give christmas speech! Allah Akbar!


A veiled Muslim woman will deliver this year's alternative Christmas speech on Channel 4, the broadcaster has said.

Khadija, a Zimbabwean-born British citizen who has been wearing the full veil - or niqab - for 10 years, has been given the slot.

The message will reflect a year in which the wearing of religious clothing and symbols have "dominated the news agenda", said a Channel 4 spokesman.

I know which channel I definitely won’t be watching come the Christmas speech.

Since Muslims, by definition, don't believe in the Incarnation, i.e. the Virgin Birth, which is the central tenet of the First Advent, no Muslim has any business making any pronouncement about Christmas anyway, except possibly to condemn the Saturnalia association.

Apart from that, the whole thing is an abomination, like Islam itself.

Were you at the birth of christ? I was. lots of tv cameras no big noses...

Why would I care about the jews? they aren't blowing themselves up in the name of Abraham so who cares? Why even bring it up?

It has occurred to me since my last post that this alternative Christmas message would be OK if delivered from Santa's Grotto in the York Dungeon - with the presenter wearing a pair of bull horns instead of reindeer antlers.

The YD had an actor dressed up as Satan one year (anagram of S-A-N-T-A).
