#4 "There is no problem with giving or receiving gifts, either." According to the official, the only condition is that cards should not carry icons or symbols that contradict Islamic principles, such as the cross.

This can be solved very easily. Got Muslim acquaintances in Bahrain? Don't send them cards, don't give them any Christmas wishes, and don't give them presents. Either these Muzzy types are reasonable folk and will pressure the fanatics to back off and stop acting like assholes, or they will accede to the fanatics' wishes, in which case their friendship value probably wasn't worth much anyway.
