What's wrong with "Merry Christmas"? (long)

[Carol]

Potioncat:
> It [Ramadan] fell around Christmas time a few years ago. Caused
quite a stir in our school because some of our students were fasting,
yet it was tradition to have winter parties. Some parents were still
smarting that it's winter parties, not Christmas parties, and now they
were being told not to have food at the parties. The administration
was just  trying to be sensitive to everyone's needs.

Carol responds:

And ended up being insensitive to the majority, apparently. It
remeinds me of the controversy about pigs on coffee cups in the UK
awhile back.

Carol, who thinks that what's needed is not a rejection of Christmas
but a respect for the majority's right to celebrate it, along with the
 minority's right to fast or whatever they want to do as long as it
harms no one
