intolerant for the Sheikh to say he objects to the promotion of Christmas in stores? He is not denying a Christian's right to celebrate it. He is making the point that as a Muslim country, Qatar should be preserving that heritage not eroding it because of the presence of non Muslims. If it is so important to Christians to celebrate their religious festivals so openly then why come to a Muslim country? and before you make comparisons with Muslims going to the West, most Muslims have to compromise their faith there. In any case, countries like the UK are not Christian countries.
