As political correctness continues to chip away at America's society, Best Buy is the latest corporate giant to honor a minority religion in America - Islam. Best Buy had "Happy Eid al-Adha" printed on its Thanksgiving holiday advertising circular, and there was no Happy Thanksgiving anywhere in the ad. Some Muslims are happy and many Americans are unhappy. Even saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays pisses off minority religions. The bigger question is, who cares?
Best Buy or any other American company shouldn't be pandering to minority religions. Political correctness, also known as pussy cowards, is hindering our nations ability to speak freely. There isn't anything said these days that doesn't make somebody feel bad and it's pathetic. Thanksgiving is an American tradition and Best Buy can't even say Happy Thanksgiving in its ad? What are they hoping to gain by wishing Muslim's a Happy Eid al-Adha?
The internet went haywire on Tuesday after the ad was released. There's nothing wrong with Best Buy wishing Muslims well on their Feast of Sacrifice, but don't sacrifice American holidays for minority religions. It's a tough world for big businesses - they can't do anything without getting castrated, even if their intentions are for the best.
There's nothing wrong with religions having freedom to celebrate and worship - that's what makes America great.
