If you are not muslim, or don't come from an Arab or Islamic background, would you wish 'eid mubarak' to everyone on your Facebook? If so, why?

I don't even say "bless you" when someone sneezes.

No. If I had friends of those backgrounds, then maybe to them. But personally I still wouldn't just because I couldn't be arsed.

Worked with a british muslim at my last place and he wouldn't say merry christmas to people when they said it to him, he just said "yeah". Therefore I won't say there thingy to them

I may leave a Christmas Card in the prayer room at work this year.
Will edit an image with Santa on his sleigh with a suicide bomber hanging on to the back of it.

They dont celebrate our holidays, yet they still expect to take all the time off work etc. Fuckers

Someone wished it to everyone on facebook. I replied, "I've got no idea what that is, but happy eid mubarak to you too"
He then explained what it was about, so I enjoyed some nice cake. Happy days.

This grinds my gears, the same guy always insisted on his religious holidays off, and my boss said that was fine but it'd either be out of his holiday allowance or in replacement of christmas day, boxing day etc

Fair play, if we worked in their shite backwards countries the same would be expected of us, and forced through as well no doubt, not like here

You tend to find a lot of educated ones (therefore the ones smart enough to work out religion is actually fictitious) dont swing the religion hammer in a discussion...
