And a Queensland Jewish leader has called for an end to the "automatic imposition" of Christmas on the community, saying the season has been reduced to a "shopping festival".
The attacks have outraged Christian churches, family groups and civic leaders. Even other Muslim groups have slammed the call.

Why would the churches be bothered? There's absolutely NOTHING in
the Bible to support this celebration, but much to condemn it (the adoption of pagan practices, especially)

If Jews and Muslims are really so unhappy living in Australia with its Christmas traditions, they might consider moving to somewhere where
they
will be happier... e.g. Israel, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.

Way to sidestep my question!
And, as I recall, Australia is not inherently a Christian nation --
the Christians came late and imposed themselves upon the natives. .
And it's not that simple to immigrate to just anywhere you please
in this world!
For example, I've looked into leaving Canada, and even to go to
fellow Commonwealth nations is impossible for me! (let alone any
nation without a history of inter-migration with Canada!)
And why should THEY have to leave what is just as much THEIR home
country?

Not really; I assumed you had asked a "Dorothy Dixer" and responded to
it.
No country is inherently Christian, but many countries do have
Christian
traditions, including Australia.
And why should THEY have to leave what is just as much THEIR home country?
I suggested it as a possibility, not something to be mandated. The
Oz government has strongly asserted that Sharia Law will not be
adopted here, & again has suggested that anyone who wants it badly
should leave for somewhere that has it; there is talk of deporting dual-nationals who seek to undermine Australia's legal system.
