Holiday Festival Controversy
I was on the forums today and saw two posts specifically about holiday festivals in the Tower. There were two posts that generated quite a bit of controversy, one that called for a Christmas Festival and one that called for a Ramadan Festival.
After reading these posts I couldn't believe how hypocritical and backwards some people on the forums are. Most accept a Christmas festival but are absolutely offended by the mere thought of a Ramadan Festival.
Have we really fallen so far? Posting inappropriate phrases to bash the Islamic faith and making jokes about terrorism. It really is a shame.
Don't give me the cop out excuses of that Christmas is more commercialized and makes up the majority, those explanations are complete crap, not everyone wants to celebrate a holiday with Christian roots.
I for one don't even think that Destiny has any of the faiths we have presently. They praise the Traveler as their Savior and the Speaker is sort of the Pope to the people in a sense. I don't Christmas exists. I do, however, think that having a seasonal festival of some sort would be great
TL;DR
[i]What justifiable reason can you give me for such a huge difference in opinion?[/i]
PS- for those that agree what do you think would be a good idea for a festival during the holiday season?

Halloween is not a religious festival, Christmas is but most games just celebrate "New Years" which is pretty universal for everyone. There's nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas in destiny tho it's religious but we're NA so it's okay. By the way, I don't ever want to celebrate starving and sacrificing goats, on a game I enjoy. I come from a Muslim country and a family and know enough about Islam, the evil religion that takes lives STILL this age, the biggest, the ugliest manipulators, murderers and rapists that commit horrible crimes on a massive scale under the name of Islam. Go do your research before you try acting like you have a single clue about human rights. Every intelligent person knows that these don't apply to the innocent Muslims so save it.
