When I wrote SHAME ON YOU… I was referring to the HOTEL owner…

I would like to give my sincere apology should you be offended by my words but please read again my comment and you will realize that it has nothing to do with you nor your organization…

But to the hotel owner, I say agian SHAME ON YOU!

Thank you…

Green Prophet is an environmental and clean technology website. The purpose of this piece was to point out the absurdity of this issue, as in the case of the white gold Mercedes -as well as show how recycling (as the case of the Haifa plastic bottle tree) can be very beneficial.

In light of this, we at Green Prophet have nothing to be ashamed of!

And what is more dispecable is that such display is for a religious celebration that most Christians are finding now too commercialized.

It is an insult to the Muslims who do not celebrate Christmas and an insult to the Christians who want to reclaim the true spiritual significance of the season.

If what they spent for the christmas tree was donated to the UNRWA, such money would have given thousands of families food on their tables or even tents to shelter them from the cold winter…

Shame to the hotel owner! Shame on you…

THE CHRISTMAS TREE SPEAKS TO THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD FOR WELCOMING VISITORS ESPECIALLY FOR NON-MUSLIMS. IS SHOWS THAT THEY ARE OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE WHO DO NOT GIVE MALICIOUS MEANING FOR CREATING THIS EXPENSIVE CHRISTMAS TREE.

I LIKE THIS.
