We are Muslims, Appreciate without "Christmas Greeting"

In Indonesia possess the habit of saying "Merry Christmas" as a form of religious tolerance. However, in our religious tolerance respect their religion, letting them celebrate, but don't say it. Because in our religion say it mean celebrate and enter into their group.

Attending the celebration of Christmas with the belief that their religion is true also haram. But if only a keep celebrating the establishment of communication between human beings it is not prohibited. Throughout those who attended the Christmas celebrations are those who had a strong Islamic Aqeedah, then it is prohibited. Especially when accompanied by the intention show sympathetic attitude of the Muslims to stay in touch with either religious differences among people who still firmly holding the principle of "Lakkum diinukum waliya deen", then it is certainly a valuable da'wah goodness.

So the conclusion is that Muslims should be able to establish good relations with non-Muslims throughout the Islamic Aqeedah is not disruptive effect. Building relationships that can be received invitations celebration, attended a Christmas celebration while avoiding the things that are "dangerous" for the safety of aqidah. or congratulate but recommend that the greeting "Merry Christmas" is replaced with "Happy Holiday" with the prayer "May Allah (God) gives us clues to the right and straight path" and conducted solely within the context of human social and civic association, not religious.
