Birthday parties 'against Islam'

.



Is it just me or NST online hates me? I can never seem to find the article I wanted to post here. =.=


Anyway, as reported by NST yesterday, some top ulamas argued that having birthday parties, celebrations or any forms of anniversaries are against the teachings of Islam. Reason?



"That would make Muslims like the followers of others faiths such as Jews and Christians. They should just thank God if their children is healthy or if their married life is stable and happy."




I'm..speechless.
