Deja Vu.

What....?
In this country, Christianity is viewed as a threat to Islam. Muslims are "forbidden" to take part in Christmas activities, as Christmas is considered a religious celebration. Among non-Muslims though, it is also celebrated culturally, such as exchanging gifts etc.
Holy moly, they need to split religion and government ASAP.
I don't expect that to happen in my lifetime. 🥲
We wish we could, but when more than 60% of the citizens have their religion decided for the by the virtue of their race, it's bound to be a shitshow
