Happy Haram-O-Ween!

Salaam,

Why is it that every company that I work at sends out an email to everyone "Happy Holloween," shouldn't they be a little considerate that not everyone celebrates it. They promote diversity yet think everyone has the same belief.

This lady just came to my desk and gave candy to me & everyone. I'm just going to dispose it right in my trash.

Fortunately, my family doesn't do much for Halloween. My daughter got a Happy 1st Halloween card from her grandparents (she's 7 months old). A few months ago, I bought a costume for her just for fun... but then I reverted just a few weeks ago!

Thank you for your smart and very accurate title of this very "unholyday" that is celebrated. IN the past, I always loved this day, but now, i ask: Why do they celebrate death..w/ skeletons, ghosts, etc..such a turn off.

Assalam aliekum

Here in Kuwait, things get decorated, but only certain groups do any halloween activities.

The school I was previously teaching at was half-Muslim and half-nonMuslim. It was the Muslim mothers that planned the Halloween activities, and we had about 15 Christian American families who kept their kids home that day, because they do not want their children celebrating a pagan celebration.

I found that quite ironic, myself, since many people blame America for corrupting their kids, and yet here it is the Americans saying NO to Halloween and the Muslims saying YES.

I am not saying it is like this EVERYWHERE, of course, I am just telling about a specific situation, but it just goes to show, we all need to stop stereotyping people - it only causes discourse.

I am so happy i don't celebrate Halloween anymore. It is just a waste of time and money. All day today, all i could see were people with awful customs. Anyways, alhamdulilah to Islam it brought sense back to me.:blackhijab:
