Merry Not Christmas

The good folks across the pond have a growing problem with radical Islamists in their midst who would like nothing better than to remake the country in Islam's image, and this certainly won't give them a lot of joy at Christmastime:

A veiled Muslim woman will deliver this year's alternative Christmas speech on Channel 4, the broadcaster has said.

Khadija, a Zimbabwean-born British citizen who has been wearing the full veil - or niqab - for 10 years, has been given the slot.

The message will reflect a year in which the wearing of religious clothing and symbols have "dominated the news agenda", said a Channel 4 spokesman.

A counterpoint to the Queen's Christmas speech first appeared on C4 in 1993.

Maybe they confused Christmas with Halloween.
