Best Buy Criticized for Holiday Greeting

Best Buy is under fire for saying "Happy Eid al-Adha" in this year’s Black Friday ads. People seem upset over the fact that the company for years has made it a policy not to say "Happy Thanksgiving," "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" but prominently featured the Muslim festival of sacrifice on the cover of all its flyers. Big deal? No big deal? What are your thoughts?

"Merry Christmas" is off-limits, but "Happy Eid al-Adha" is apparently okay. Best Buy is raising eyebrows with a Black Friday ad which extends a holiday greeting to Muslims for the annual Eid-al-Adha holiday, or in English, the "Festival of Sacrifice," which coincides with the Thanksgiving weekend this year.
