Thank you, its not the birth of Christ the prophet that we would take offence at, and thank you for your understanding words, When the Crusades under orders from the Pope attacked Jerusalem, they slaughtered thosands of Muslims, one crusader wrote back to the Pope that the streets of Jersualem were flowing with blood, at at bethlehem they strung up so many Muslim women and children that they regarded it as a fitting present for the christian feast of Christmas, the Pope was pleased with this news, its all history but like the Irish people we dont forget, Jesus to us was a goodman no more no less, but i can agree that the crib scenes have their place in a Chapel frequented by christians, i hope this answer is ok for you, and to show my peace, i wish you and all those christians of all denominations peace and goodwill as you celebrate the birth of the prophet Jesus
