How thoughtful of them....

   ....According to [1]the Memri blog

     Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, head of the International Council of
     Muslim Clerics, has permitted Muslims to extend greetings to
     Christians and to other "people of the book" (i.e. Jews) on their
     holidays.
     He said that changes in the global situation have led him to
     disagree with Sheikh Ibn Taymiyya, who banned such greetings.
     Al-Qaradhawi also called to replace the Islamic term ahl al-dhimma
     (the people of the dhimma) with the term "civilians."

   Isn't it nice to know that Muslims can change their minds about their
   inferiors.
