"Guy Fawkes Night" falls on November 5th, and is celebrated by the British with fireworks displays. It commemorates the failure of the "Gunpowder Plot" planned by Guy Fawkes and others to assassinate King James I in 1605 AD. This celebration represents a religious and political symbolism, as it expressed the conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Muslims are obliged to keep away from such occasions and from imitating other nations, and to be keen on adhering to the Islamic identity.
