Assuming that you will not understand, I will still make a reply for others,
As I m part of this Ummah, individuals making anti Islamic practices or actions, whether out of ignorance, arrogance, following one's whims..etc affects the whole Ummah negatively as it brings us far from Islam, and thus, Allah inflicts us with tests and tribulations. Needless to mention, that we are one Ummah and when I see others making a mistake I should be concerned or I will not be of the Muslims. Celebrating non Muslim events, which was one described to me by an American that they all have pagan origin, is wrong, I should stand and change the wrong or I dont deserve to be a Muslim.
Did you get any of this??
BTW, this same American attended a sound and light show in Aswan narrating Phila temple story and he was in total disagreement because of much paganism expressed in the story.
