Muslim Amir Khan issued death threats and abuse for putting up a Christmas tree

From Yahoo News:
Amir Khan has been subjected to a torrent of online abuse after he posted on social media that he had put up a Christmas tree. 
The British boxer, who is a practising Muslim, even received a death threat from one angry troll as others questioned why he was celebrating the traditionally Christian holiday. 
Posting a video of the twinkling tree lights on Instagram, Amir revealed that he’d put the tree up to surprise his three-year-old daughter, Lamaisah. 
He captioned the post with: “While everyone’s asleep, daddy put the Christmas tree up. “Lamaisah’s going to be happy #Christmas #MerryChristmas2017.” However, he was immediately hit with backlash. One wrote: “I promise to God I want to kill you and your family, Amir.”
