Jefferson hosted an iftar in 1805. White House Ramadan celebrations could end under Trump
Washington Post ^ | 6-17-2017 | Amy Wang

There has so far been no word from President Trump’s administration on whether the White House intends to host such an event this year. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has reportedly already said the State Department will break with recent tradition and not host a Ramadan reception, as it has done nearly annually for two decades. White House officials did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Jefferson BASHED BACK against islamic jihad!!!!

obama—like clinton and George W Bush before him, and unlike any other US Presidents—held iftars as pat of his totally pro-islamic and pro-jihad policies!!!!

Trump MUST refrain from holding iftars, and return to BASHING BACK against islam and jihad!!!!

Unfortunately most of Washington is still trying to prolong the delusion that Islam is a religion of peace and not at war with us as they have been with the rest of humanity since 622 A.D.

Did Roosevelt host events honoring Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan during World War 2?

Roosevelt was playing footsy with everyone from Stalin and Mao to the Vichy French and Italian ex-fascists to South American dictators and the Saudis, all in the name of winning the war.

If hosting some Muslim leaders and keeping them from throwing in with the jihadis would help our war effort he would have done it.

And the lefties fail to grasp that TJ read the Koran to understand the motives of the enemy. Thus he realized that just negotiating and appeasement would not work. It was time to send in the Marines.

Jefferson had a pocket of views....depending on who he was talking to....and that's why I always take him with a grain of salt.

EXCEPTion....he was for states rights.

I remember one outstanding statement from Roosevelt. Would you lie for good reason? Absolutely.

They should be stopped. We don’t need to give the Muzzies, of all people, an opportunity to embarrass the President by refusing to show up like those bozos on the NBA and MLB teams did. Why bother with the aggravation.

“Meanwhile, critics on the far right have taken issue with the characterization of Jefferson’s Dec. 9, 1805, dinner as an iftar.”

Of course it is not iftar. There is more than waiting to eat involved.

Stupid Globalist pukes are again lying through their teeth.

Homosexual month ended under Trump at the White House, not at DoD it seems. Let’s hope iftar ends everywhere in government.

" Nice headline writing. Make it look like the dinners have been going on for over 200 years when, in fact, they've only been happening for a couple of decades. "

That started with Yorge Booosh "Mr ishlamb is a religion of piece." That stooge and his family are responsible for countless Christians loosing their lives. The Booosh family are Punks of the Saudis and globalists.

Seeing how cozy the elder Booosh has been with Clintoon and his Hati money scam......then, young Yorge Boosh's coziness with Obummer, makes me want to puke!

As for that 200 year old invite from Jefferson – there wasn’t much accomodation made at all as reflected here . . .

Monticello.org: Dealings with Mellimelli, Colorful Envoy from Tunis

May as well remember this muhammedan cretin as “smelli-smelli” since

” guards had to be posted outside his lodgings to turn away the curious”

due to his

“generous use of scented rose oil “

olfactory masque easing fulfillment of his

“. . .request for “concubines” as a part of his accommodations . . .”

As for the sunset dinner with Jefferson . . .

Jefferson’s invitation to the President’s House on December 9 changed the time of dinner from the usual “half after three” to “precisely at sunset.”

Northeast ‘Dec. 7th Earliest Sunset Of The Year’

This would put the time of sunset, on December 9th, 1805 at 4:46pm, a total of one hour sixteen minutes later than usual. Hardly a remarkable alteration considering the lack of technology for travel, preparation and presentation of a state sponsored dinner.

Regardless, Jefferson eventually came to his senses and took care of business with America’s First War on Terror @ The Halls of Tripoli...a fact which President Trump could reiterate/celebrate patriotically instead.
