All presidents hold Ramadan celebrations at the White House now and aren't afraid to call it Ramadan but you can't call Christmas Christmas anymore

12/25/11, "Steyn mocks western world's 'war on Christmas:' Institutional self loathing," Daily Caller, J. Poor

"There is no crusade to generalize other religious holidays and that the West’s budding hatred of itself and its values was at the “heart” of the matter.

“There’s something very odd by the way, as I said about this stilted artificial avoidance of Christmas,” he said....

“Nobody does this with Ramadan, for example. I notice when you look at the big Ramadan festivities at the White House that every president conducts now — nobody bothers to pretend that is a kind of general celebration.

• Nobody says ‘happy holiday’ instead of Ramadan.
• And I think there’s something sort of slightly — it’s not a small thing in that sense.
  

It gets to the heart of the most disturbing feature of Western world at twilight, which is this kind of institutional self-loathing that’s at the heart of it.”

12/17/11, "Merry War on Christmas!" Mark Steyn, National Review

"When an explicitly Catholic institution thinks that the meaning of Christmas is “tenderness for the past, vapid generalities for the present, evasive abstractions for the future,” it’s pretty much over. Suffering no such urge to self-abasement, Muslim students at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., recently filed a complaint over the lack of Islamic prayer rooms on the campus. They find it offensive to have to pray surrounded by Christian symbols such as crucifixes and paintings of distinguished theologians. True, this thought might have occurred to them before they applied to an institution called “Catholic University.” On the other hand, it’s surely not unreasonable for them

• to have expected Catholic University
• to muster no more than the nominal rump Christianity of that Catholic college in New England.
  

Why wouldn’t you demand Muslim prayer rooms? As much as belligerent atheists, belligerent Muslims reckon that a decade or so hence “Catholic colleges” will be Catholic mainly in the sense that Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia is still a cathedral: That’s to say, it’s a museum, a heritage site for where once was a believing church. And who could object to the embalming of our inheritance? Christmas is all about “tenderness for the past,” right? When Christian college administrators are

• sending out cards saying “We believe in nothing,”

• why wouldn’t you take them at their word?"
