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?

  • See, here's the problem, those polls were biased from the original post. With no option for just no and being forced to chose that you are offended or standing up for offended people it skews results. I don't think it should happen just because of the fact that it wouldn't be profitible enough for them, plus ramadan is a religious holiday (modern Christmas is a non religious holiday based on a fat man giving out presents). The poster gave a bias to the poll by automatically assuming anyone who doesn't want it is offended by it or standing up for the offended.
