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?

That poll was BS. I'm not offended by Ramadan, I just don't want to celebrate it. Why the -blam!- are people even requesting these RL holidays? We currently have a festival of the lost, which seems heavily based on The day of the dead.( hint the masks being of lost, dead or just scary things(prepatch cryptarch)). it's not a Halloween or day of the dead event, even though it maybe inspired by them. It's just an event for the holidays. Get over it. If they have variks(however his name is spelt) dress up like krumpas and give us evilly made fallen toys in December is it celebrating Christmas? NO. It's a fictional event based on a fictional story in a fictional game. Let it go and stop trying to pass these passive aggressive cult spreading ideas of religion into a game.
