Correct. 'Rabid' is the correct word. I feed potentially 'rabid' raccoons in my backyard almost daily and would feel far more comfortable around them than around rabid human beings!
Idiots think saying 'Merry Christmas' would belittle Islam in some way. That would imply that Islam itself is an insecure religion. These people of 'faith' really have no faith.
BTW: My house has a beautiful Christmas tree, reaching to the ceiling, well decorated and full of gifts below the tree. My American wife is Christian. While I don't believe in Christmas as a religious holiday but it is a time of year where things slow down a bit, charity increases, faith is revived for at least some people for a spiritual world, and often estranged families and friends reconnect. So say 'Merry Christmas' if you want to or don't say it! But don't bash others and don't show your ignorant bigotry to the world!!
Rabid is a rabid but don't label any one rabid and do something extreme. Actually accusing someone falsely is.... bad (in polite words)
Not accusing you, but when i read extremists remarks directed at some virtual rabid, than i see personal bias, which has nothing to do with reality. I may be wrong, and reality around you may be different than at least give us a reference, if you are introducing new twist to the discussion.
You must agree... it get most funny when you see people accusing some one being no tolerant to Hindus but in same breath he /she address that someone as a son of Jew or Christian, or may be in another thread passing remarks on posters accusing them of being Jews of Christians, like it's a some sort of insult.
At least i would expect to see you crossing the with rabid, you can't accept!
We have post from moderator above, as well showing extreme hate to some virtual criminal, but you will never see them them giving their opinion on posts of their own gang, who are regularly hurling insults on others, addressing them sons /brothers of Jews and Christians as an abuse.
You have a Christian wife, it must have been love, but who said to you it's wrong?
I have a devote Syrian friend, who had a Christian wife.. now unfortunately divorced, and than i have a school mate in Pakistan, who's mother was Christian, while all uncles and aunts of my friend are Christians. It's called society but don't undermine those who do not have Christian wives.
I have as well came across racist in western societies who abuse children of Muslim families in school, who could be more rabid than this... but i will not go on rabid tirade without giving an example.
Point here is we should not try to pull controversary just to prove our own selves as some sort of superior race and in process we invent a virtual lower beings.
Coming back to the real life, In Pakistan we have Christians all around, at least until couple of decades ago all nation would celebrate with them and and they were wished on state TV.
In rest of the Islamic world, there are Christians more than Pakistan and they co-exist and individuals who say BS doesn't matter.
