non-Muslims going over to a Muslim friend's house to celebrate Eid, does not make them Muslim. If the Muslim is blatantly honoring Samhain, however, as the deity of Halloween, that is a completely different story; and yes, I am aware Samhain is a Gaelic festival, but most Muslims think Samhain is a deity and Halloween is a celebration of
his godhood, so they protest against it. What I am saying here is that even if Samhain were a deity, you cannot worship him without intending to – that would mean anyone who fasts on Ramadan indirectly worships Allah.
The hypocrisy among many Muslims I see is that they get overjoyed when they see non-Muslims celebrating Eid or fasting a day in Ramadan but then when it comes to returning the favor and handing out a present for Christmas or dressing up a little for Halloween, oh my God, it's the end of the world as we know it and Armageddon is here! Muslims call other Muslims who greet their fellow humans on Christmas as hypocrites and coconuts but
a non-Muslim observing Eid with their Muslim friends is an open-minded soul standing against bigotry.
I find these double standards absolutely disgusting.
A primary reason why Muslims exhibit such behavior is because many Muslims believe Islam is the only correct way. Therefore it makes sense that they should like it when non-Muslims take part in Islam and not vice versa. It is
a product of arrogance rather than a gesture of coexistence and we need to do better.
