It’s about time!
Best Buy became the first retailer to nationally invite consumers to celebrate Thanksgiving and Eid Al Adha (it was seen on Techcrunch first, thanks Techcrunch)
See Below
This is big news for the American Muslim market in particular and for some extreme Christians that are hating.I don’t see why? I mean all these years retailers have recognized other religious holidays for sales and now it’s our time and all of a sudden it’s a big deal.
Muslims have never shown hate for other religious consumer groups and brands/stores recognizing them, people need to really fall back and take it easy.
Everyone has a right to be market to.American Muslims have significant purchasing power and it’s in the best interest of businesses to take advantage of this opportunity, so leave it peoples.Thank you Best Buy! Don’t worry your going to be getting that Eiddy…hehe.
Send some love to Best Buy for reaching out to Muslims

This is so unnecessary and unwanted. Stop commercialising Islam.

Being a Christian in the United States, not only am I NOT offended about this, I am glad to see it too. Reading the comments I was especially amused by “lame”s comment:

To that I say… Welcome to America

Best Buy has alot of stores in the Middle East. They have alot of stores here in Saudi Arabia, and they had a store in Palestine but then they closed it last year. So that may help of awareneess in Best Buy as a whole. Also did you guys here about switzerland, and the desicion that came out that no more Ma’azen for the Mosques are allowed to be buit? You should write a blog about that. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/3109314/Swiss-ban-mosque-minarets
check this link to see the racist posters they made
