Thats what this thread should be about. But instead it's a Jew bashing thread evidently.

Tom, sorry, but you miss the point entirely.
The Rabbi complains, so they add a $50 Menorah. Then the arab guy comes in and says something about there not being something about allah... then the hindus come in and they have about 280 different gods... suddenly it isn't an airport anymore, but a bunch of religeous symbols overwhelming the original christmas display, which wasn't particularly religeous to start with.
If christmas was only a religeous holiday, then I would say "hey, knock yourselves out, fight the power man". But really, the entire US (and canada, and many other countries) look at this as a non-secular holiday, a day off, a day to exchange presents, no different from a birthday or celebrating New Years Eve.
It is insulting to everyone that this Rabbi cannot accept that not all people are like him, and that in real life, we don't all get equal time (and if he doesn't like it, he might want to go to Iran and try lighting the Menorah... he should be thankful for all the freedom he has in the US, not pissed out because he thinks someone else might have gotten a little more freedom this week).
