It's okay for children to say Christmas is forbidden

Nihal

Available for over a year

Scotland Yard commander Mak Chishty, Britain's most senior Muslim police officer, kicked off a debate by saying he is aware of young children saying things like celebrating Christmas is haram, or forbidden. He warns that children saying things like this at such a young age could show signs of anti-western sentiment and possible radicalisation. Caller Michael, a Christian, says a childs soul is more important than acknowledging other religious festivals.
