In this country, Christianity is viewed as a threat to Islam. Muslims are "forbidden" to take part in Christmas activities, as Christmas is considered a religious celebration. Among non-Muslims though, it is also celebrated culturally, such as exchanging gifts etc.
This followed an internal memo from a cake house purportedly telling staff not to write Merry Christmas or X'Mas on their cakes, even on request from customers.
