Ignorance. It's scary how many people respond incredibly negatively to anything islam-related due to the association with terrorism. I'm a staunch atheist and am generally anti-religion but downvoting someone for saying "merry christmas" is frankly ridiculous, just as downvoting you was.
Speaking of which, I was in Malaysia in 1979 when the Eid ul-Fitr celebrations started (it's known in southeast Asia as the Hari Raya). It was nearly impossible to buy a lot of foods because this is a major festival in that country. Going to night markets in Penang, the streets were absolutely packed with people doing shopping for this celebration.
