Turkish Imam says Santa Claus 'dishonest'

[hater]

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 su ious 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.

Turkey's population is over 96 percent Muslim and less than one percent Christian. At the same time it is a secular state with many European traditions.

Then, when they get older and start to realize it's a lie, they learn about Jesus.

santa claus is seriously terrible. I guess most people just assume whatever but I remember basically interrogating my parents about him when I was 5-6 and they finally just flatout told me he wasn't real. Which I suppose, I already knew deep down inside. I mean, we didn't even have a fireplace..
