It's probably filled with explosives.

Hope nothing happens to him.

I give it a few days until some 7 year old with a bomb vest blows it up.

 

[MusterX]

Good for him.

I hope other Muslims don't kill him and any others involved.

He's F'ed.

 

[bobgeese]

Nice.

they said the same thing about obama 8 years ago.

 

[lifelessheap]

Brave man. Last time I heard a story like this the guy was killed. So my prayers go out for his safety and the safety of his family.

Yea, not the same.

 

[seiger]

Yea, not the same.

gotta find that negative slant at all costs. dude buys a big xmas tree. something that has happened. oh theyll kill him. something that hasnt happened and that we will never hear about not happening, because it wont be news that it doesnt happen.

i dont think the locals will kill him, and if isis do then obviously that will be sad. iraqi christians are returning home, to parts liberated from isis, so thats kind of the backdrop of this story.

lmao after going from 1.4million to around 200k in population.

A tree is really gonna make a difference.

Erecting a Christmas Tree is a far more substantial gesture than a #WeStandinSolidarity Tweet.

or changing a facebook pic to a french flag.

 

[kickboxjh]

Doesn't seem very Islamic.

My bet is; it's a trap, it gets burned down, the guy that put it up gets attacked, and/or a bunch of Christians get attacked.

 

[Rusk]

Well, this is nice.

 

[carlos cadona]

Good for him.

I hope other Muslims don't kill him and any others involved.

The Shia will probably leave them alone, Shia's and Christians have good relationships right now, they are fighting ISIS together. The Sunni's might try something though.

 

[Supereem]

Credit where credit is due.

If this is not some scheme and is really done from the heart that muslim is an infidel according to allah in the quran.
