In a holiday Head on History Special, we come to you with a fun episode on the history of Muslims and Christmas. In light of both the fictitious “war on Christmas” and the ongoing debate in Muslim social media about whether Muslims can or should celebrate Christmas, this episode traces the history of shared holidays and festivals in Islamic history. From pilgrimages and festivals, to mosques and holidays, we take a closer look at how Muslim and Christians have participated in one another holy days from ancient times to more contemporary moments.
