No Isa-mas, either?

A Christian charity in England which specializes in sending Christmas gifts to children abroad has banned any gift which refers to Christmas or Christ, lest Muslims be offended.

Aside from being an especially inane example of political correctness, it's just plain dumb. Why would you be sending Christmas gifts to Muslim children to begin with? Evangelism is about the only logical reason I can think of.

Is it OK to mention Isa, the fictitious Muslim version of Jesus? And since Isa is regarded my Muslims as an Islamic prophet, why does the issue even arise?
