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?

    let me ask you this: how would they decorate the tower for Ramadan? huh? seriously?? stupid people will always be stupid. Now if you said let's decorate for Hanukah, I would understand. But these people that are just like: "well if you are going to decorate the tower with Christmas Trees, Christmas lights, Christmas wreaths, etc etc then I want it decorated for Ramadan" are what is really wrong with this world. I'm sure people are looking for trees, wreaths, etc like I said above. Now if people wanted a Manger with Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph with angels and stuff all over the Tower, then I think you MAY (MAY) have a valid point. Half the people I know who celebrate Christmas are not even in the Christian Religion. These people that do not realize what Christmas is, or what it represents and want to take it away have problems.
