Berlin is witnessing a profound cultural transformation, as events like 'Decolonizing Christmas' challenge traditional Christian narratives in the name of multiculturalism and postcolonial critique. Funded by the city, these initiatives reframe Christmas symbols as colonial or capitalist constructs, while Islamic traditions are increasingly celebrated in public spaces. Critics argue that this trend represents a form of Western self-erasure, as European societies deconstruct their own heritage but refrain from applying similar scrutiny to Islamic practices. The article suggests that this asymmetry reflects a deeper crisis of identity and confidence in the West, with traditional values giving way to a self-critical universalism that leaves Islam as a resilient and unchallenged presence.
