text: "Last I looked it was Christians demanding the end of Halloween as a pagan or Satanist celebration" And those should be told NO! That is ridiculous. Extremists should not be accommodated. You want to abstain? Fine. You demand the majority abstain so as not to offend you? Nope.
  
  
  "No one is asking for Eid to be made a legal holiday. If you're envious that others have holidays when you don't, get over it. You are not the centre of the universe."
  
  Really? Sounds like some are asking for that. The rest of your comment is bang on. People who join a society with its own majority traditions should be ready to accept them rather than demand they be abolished.
  
  When there are enough newcomers that the old traditions no longer seem relevant, it will happen naturally. Forcing the majority to abandon their own traditions to "accommodate" newcomers is asking for backlash.
