Turkish imam says Santa Claus "dishonest" for going down chimneys: "If he was an honest person he would come through the door as we do"

A more "honest" Santa?

If it weren't for the stonings, beheadings, amputations, declarations of imminent conquest, suicide bombings, and all the rest of it, these guys would be great comedians

The imam of the Turkish town of Kuzan has issued a warning to Muslims about Santa Claus, who he called a dishonest person, Italy's Corriere della Sera wrote.
Imam Suleiman Eniceri said it was suspicious that Santa Claus brings presents into a house by climbing down a chimney or through windows. “If he was an honest person he would come through the door as we do,” the imam said. The imam cited a passage in the Koran that calls on the faithful to enter houses through doors.

“Christmas is not our festival,” he said, and warned Turkish Muslims against drinking alcohol....

I don't know -- sounds as if Imam Suleiman Eniceri has been knocking back a few on the sly...

In a sense he was unintentionally touching a vary valid point.
The Lie that is in Christmas, that goes between parent and child that is
an eventual truth to be learned. It is a damaging event in most if not all children
who experience the "Joy" of Santa.

It is interesting that one story as such can be recognized as a falsehood. Children become aware, and in time, willingly participate in a lie.. to their children, continuing the cycle.
Yet religious beliefs skirt this eventuality when deep down inside, it is another Santa story in its self.
It is just another sad set of circumstances that is caused by the three santa stories of abrahamic origin.
Which is the source of many of the conflicts we deal with today.

When that Lie is eventually recognized, and devotion abandoned into santa like tales will be a good day for humanity.
Unfortunately while others are willing to kill not only themselves, but others for that fairy tale we as humans will be destined to war on one another, Not being able to even address many other struggles we face such as greed, ethnic and gender differences, when at the forefront is a battle of imaginary proportions.

To a degree this Turkish imam is on to something, but it seems he is oblivious to the heart of the matter.
