Seems more like it's the church leaders who are confused.

How so Ornot? a muslim on a Chirstmas card? Not that confusing to me. Why does it confuse you?

Did Jesus run the non Jewish folks off ?

There is some debate about that US, but it has nothing to do with what this dem puts on his Christmas cards does it?

Was it for sure a Christmas Card, or did it say something like "Peace on Earth"?

I would say the same if he put Mohommand or Budda on the card. It just doesn't fit the need.

 

[Damocles]

"May the miracle of Christmas help bring peace to this young woman and her wounded land."

Doesn't seem all that confusing to me.

It's a Christmas card. Here's the deal:

"May the peace and joy of this Christmas season be with you and your loved ones throughout the coming year," the card reads.


"While it may seem odd to put a portrait of a young Muslim woman on a Christmas card, this Season reminds us that He loves His children most of all," Bredesen stated on the back of the card.

Nothing confusing about it. Some people seem to have short attention spans.

Read the link Dam. Christmas card.................A card sent at Christmas. Get the CHRIST part?

I read it, and then posted afterward...

He had a Christmas wish for the young woman to know peace through the "miracle of Christmas"... It didn't seem ambivalent to me. Why would it be "confusing" to these people?

bingo... I think the sentiment is quite appropriate

Here it was for those who consistently only read that first post....

Do people that have birthdays around christmas get birthday carsds or christmas cards ?

Christ turned away no one based on their background. Why do current "christians" run them off ?

This card would have been better suited for Ramadan and not Christmas.

Not with his specific wish for her and her nation. That the "miracle of Christmas" provide peace for them. The card seemed particularly suited for Christmas and the 'confusion' appears to be entirely partisan based.

That should earn him a death threat for trying to convert muslims. LOL

Or praise from true Christians....

Guess he couldn't find anything Christian to put on the card, so he put on a picture of a religion that honors death and destruction.

 

[uscitizen]

So the picture of a person equals a religion ?
