Futurist Christmas tree in Brussels draws flak


Last month government officials ruled that a traditional Christmas tree should be banned from Belgium's main public square because it might offend the local Muslim community. Now the decision to replace it with an 8o-foot Christmas tree sculpture by French collective 1024 Architecture has come under fire from Catholic Belgians who see the work as an overly PC attempt to secularise Christmas.
