The White House
Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release November 15, 2010
Statement by the President on Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha
Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid-ul-Adha to Muslims worldwide and wish safe travels to those performing Hajj. This year, nearly three million pilgrims from more than 160 countries - including the United States - have gathered in Mecca and neighboring sites to perform the Hajj rituals and stand together in prayer.
On Eid, Muslims around the world will commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, and distribute food to those less fortunate - a reminder of the shared values and the common roots of three of the world's major religions.
On behalf of the American people, we extend our best wishes during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour.

and wish safe travels to those performing Hajj. "and rest assured, Muslims are special so they won't need to endure searches at our airports like the common folk have to".

This is where the guys all slice themselves on the forehead and slap the wound over and over so the blood won't coagulate, and run around and holler and stuff, isn't it?
When does Mr. President go? (See tagline.)

I wonder if he’ll say anything for Hanukkah or Christmas I sure hope not, at least for Hanukkah. (I'm Jewish.) He's not the the Religion Czar. We're not supposed to have a Religion Czar. If he we're Christian and wanted to say something about Christmas, that would be okay with me. But he isn't, so it's not.
