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?

  • My advise would be not to take bait so seriously as to make a post about others failed attempts at what this board calls "satire". These people aren't really offended, if they were, and it's truly as offensive as they say it is to them, the forums are not the place to get your voice heard about such discontents. People truly offended and with a true case of offensive material on their hands would take this higher up. Not make click bait posts. So once again. Stop. These offended posts are fake attempts at attention because it's easy to bait in people who will defend such concepts.
