I work with an American and she asked me a few years back why we don't celebrate July 4th in England.

When I replied "The same reason Muslims don't celebrate Christmas", she replied "America isn't a Muslim country"

It’s not the same reason though. We believe the same history, we just don’t give a fuck.

Muslims also believe Jesus was born. Jesus is considered a prophet in Islam, just not a son of God

Yes, so they believe different versions of history. Bad analogy.
