Catholic World News : British library celebrates Eid but bans Christmas

"Margaret Dewar, the local councilor who is responsible for libraries, said she was 'appalled at the attitude of these so-called Christians making such a fuss about this policy.' She said, 'The way they have reacted to the children's party is just shocking. It is quite a different thing having a party organized by a library to promote cultural understanding and accepting notices for religious services.'
She claimed the decision to allow the Eid party was different from allowing a poster to be displayed: 'We have a policy which aims to be inclusive and to respect the religious diversity of Buckinghamshire.' "

Wait. It's ok to promote one religion. But not promoting another one is not ok? I must have missed something here.
