WASHINGTON (Army News Service, July 15, 2013) — The Department of Defense celebrated its 15th Iftar meal, July 12, at the Pentagon.

Attending the event were senior defense leaders, White House and congressional staffers, foreign dignitaries, defense attachés, imams, Gold Star families, and Muslims who work in the defense community.

“The month of Ramadan focuses on a lot of things,” said Col. Thomas Waynick, the Pentagon chaplain. “Among them, focusing one’s heart away from worldly activities, the cleansing of one’s soul to free it from harmful impurities, and the practices of self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice and empathy, especially with the less fortunate, and thus encouraging generosity and charity. These things are common to many of the world’s religions.”

During the month of Ramadan, which this year runs from July 8 through Aug. 7, Muslims are required to fast during daylight hours. The Iftar meal, following sundown, is when Muslims break their fast for the day. In 1999, the Pentagon Chaplain’s office first hosted such a dinner to show solidarity with and support for the Islamic community. They have been doing so each year since.

Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota, a Muslim, was the guest speaker at this year’s Iftar meal.

And, once again, the families of those killed at Ft. Hood and the Ben Ghazi Consulate quietly mark the evening reflecting on the loss of their loved ones.

Bon apetit, Col. Waynick.

Can’t have Christmas any more, but Ramadan is fine.

We are done for.

A Muslim President and a military that sucks his butt.

Bat sh** crazy is a fact. Had the misfortune of experiencing this in Ankara, where everyone on the road thought they had to get home first. Deadliest time of the year.

[stbdside]

Sounds good, but I was thinking BBQ pork ribs.
