It depends. Jesus is certainly as important as Mohammed to Muslims and it's not prohibited to celebrate his birth but some would never participate simply because it's a Christian tradition. Also the ban of images makes all the customs around Christmas a little tricky. In Turkey for example a lot of Muslims do celebrate but you won't find nativity scenes or stuff like that there, only images of Noel Baba ("Christmas Dad" = Santa) who is modeled after Saint Nicholas but himself not a religious figure.
Ironic, since St Nick is Turkish.
He isn't. He's greek. He lived in anatolia before the turks did.
90larda hic kimse noel kutlamazdi. Ne kutlanislar varsa Islam'la alakasi yok. Hristiyanlar noelde isa mesih, yani allah'in oglunun dogum gününü kutlar. Kesinlikle 100% haram.
