Turkish imam thinks Santa is dishonest because he comes down chimneys

From here:

The imam of the Turkish town of Kuzan has issued a warning to Muslims about Santa Claus, who he called a dishonest person, Italy’s Corriere della Sera wrote.

Imam Suleiman Eniceri said it was suspicious that Santa Claus brings presents into a house by climbing down a chimney or through windows. “If he was an honest person he would come through the door as we do,” the imam said. The imam cited a passage in the Koran that calls on the faithful to enter houses through doors.

At least the imam still believes in Santa, although he obviously didn’t receive what he was hoping for this Christmas. Maybe the rocket launcher got stuck in the chimney.
