Conscience of a Conservative: Christmas Tree set up in a Muslim country. Muslim's there are not offended.

Christmas Tree set up in a Muslim country. Muslim's there are not offended.

FOX News just reported a story from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates about a huge, expensively decorated Christmas Tree being displayed in the lobby of a hotel there. My question is this: If a Christmas Tree can be displayed in a public place in a Muslim country and it does not offend Muslims why is this sometimes considered offensive to other religions in America?

$11 Million Christmas Tree Unveiled...in Abu Dhabi

Published December 16, 2010

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – When they deck the halls in opulent Abu Dhabi, it comes with gold ornaments and gem-studded bows on a towering Christmas tree.

Christmas spirit is not rare in the United Arab Emirates, which is officially Muslim but hosts a huge foreign population. Malls are full of carolers, Santas and piped-in yuletide songs.

This only goes to show how wrong it is to be politically correct.

Defending the Constitution.

Our country was created as a Constitutional Republic, a nation of laws, held together by the fabric of the Constitution. The Constitution limits the powers of the government while the first ten amendments, called The Bill of Rights, guarantee the rights of We The People.

Defending the Republic.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” —The Declaration of Independence—July 4th, 1776.
