I am trying to find a link that is not from Fox news, but here is the story!
Best Buy has made a commercial and store displays for the Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, that falls the day after Thanksgiving this year.
What are your views?

I think it is wonderful! It feels good to be recognised, even if it is just in a commercial!

I've pretty much made my opinion known on commercialized holidays so I can honestly say I hope that in the years to come, if this becomes popular, it doesn't cause the holiday to lose its true meaning.

I really don't care if they did an ad campaign around martian holidays...if the christmas gift I need is the best price there, I am buying it there...if its not, then I'm not.

I think that it's a wonderful thing! Our country is a country free religion- and I say if you're gonna support one then support them all!

How would it cause holidays to lose meaning? Its a MUSLIM holiday. Not a christian or jewish holiday. Are muslims not aloud to have holidays or something
