The Sultan of Brunei has officially banned Christmas celebrations–but so have college campuses across the U.S.

How different are the two bans? Take this quick quiz while the mulled cider is heating to see if you can tell whether the quotations from the media below (ABC News and Campus Reform) refer to sharia law in the Borneo sultanate or the "inclusive" directives of multiculturism-fixated American college administrators.

1. "[Authorities]…warned this month that a ban on Christmas would be strictly enforced….[including]  "religious symbols like crosses, lighting candles, putting up Christmas trees, singing religious songs, sending Christmas greetings."

Sultan or campus?

2. "[People] are encouraged to be 'thoughtful in [their] decorating choices'….' Greenery, white lights, snowflakes and bows are deemed appropriate. The [authorities], however, would prefer they avoid the colors red and green to convey an 'inclusive holiday spirit. When holding holiday parties, food should be general and not privilege any religion. Groups should strive for consensus and seek decisions on party themes that “everyone can live with.'"

3. "The guideline first lists decorations that are consistent with the [entity's] 'commitment to diversity.' Among these items are snowflakes and trees decorated with snowflakes. Decorations that are consistent with the school’s 'assembly guidelines,' but should be a 'basis of dialogue' include bows, garland and lights, wreaths with bows, a combination of snowflakes with Santa Claus figures and dreidels, and holly."

4. "Although Christians are free to celebrate, they have been told not to do so 'excessively and openly.'"

5. "The [entity']'s Holiday Resources page suggests employers should ensure their Holiday party is not a 'Christmas party in disguise' and keep all decoration and food general and nonspecific to religion."

6. "At [the entity] the beloved tradition of mistletoe is under attack, with the [entity] claiming the parasitic plant, under which lovers are expected to kiss, doesn’t create an 'environment of inclusion.'"

7. "[The entity's] set of guidelines suggests holiday parties should have no emphasis on religion or culture, but rather “build upon workplace relationships and team morale.” The school says these parties should never include religious or cultural games such as 'Dreidel.' Additionally, if a gift exchange is planned, the [entity] says calling it 'Secret Santa' is inappropriate. Instead, the exchange should be referred to in a more general way, such as 'practical joke gift exchange' or 'secret gift exchange.'”

8. "Punishment for violating the ban is a five-year jail sentence, and [authorities] warned last year [that people] would be committing an offence if they so much as wore 'hats or clothes that resemble Santa Claus'."

Sultan or campus?

ANSWERS: 1. Sultan! 2. Campus: Ohio State University (after some protests, the administration took the directives off its web page). 3. Campus: Cornell University. 4. Sultan (that one was a toughie, wasn't it?). 5. Campus: University of Illinois-Springfield. 6. Campus: Cornell again. 7. Campus: University of Tennessee-Knoxville (since modified after protests). 8. This one's easy-peasy, since college administrators can't sentence politically incorrect students to jail–yet. So the answer is: Sultan.
