Wa alaikum as salam!
I will agree with Tabassum bhai. I study at Edwardes College Peshawar which is run by a Christian principal and named after a Christan too There are many Christian teachers who enjoy a great, respectful and dignified life. Not to mention, the respect comes from students which are, in 90% of the cases, Muslims. On Christmas and Easter, they enjoy holidays and media usually gives them a lot of attention.
On the other hand, if you look at other countries, say USA, you'll find that there are no Eid holidays or anything of the sort. And the condition of practising Muslims (like parda observing women) in Western countries is well-known to you. I am saying this because I feel that the Western media is always portraying us as discriminatory towards minorities, which is highly unjust and completely unjustified. (Wallahu Aalam!) This is what I feel personally; others may not agree with me.

Best regards,
Abdul Rehman.
