(DAILYMAIL) — A traditional nativity scene will not be put up in a Belgian town this year, amid claims it was scrapped in order to avoid offending Muslims.
A former leader in Holsbeek, about 20 miles outside Brussels – claims there will be no manger to mark the festival because it would be ‘too provocative’.
Achiel Claes, an ex-alderman in the town, rubbished any suggestion that Muslims would be offended.
