Berry please go on this Hajj and take you family with you! May you be the pillar of stone they throw rocks at! I would warn you about that bridge they stampeed over and kill many Hajj goers in doing so. Maybe you can stand in the center and control the mob. Hope you try it! Please go and don’t bother to come back. I am disappointed that you actually returned from the Asia trip. I was hoping one of the countries would offer you asylum and you would accept. But no, you returned!

“I wonder if he’ll say anything for Hanukkah or Christmas ....”

Not likely. But he’ll have many kind words to say to the Wiccans at the Winter Solstice.

According to Mohammed, it was not Isaac that Jacob offered to sacrifice, as the Bible tells us, but Ishmael.

Obama: “On Eid, Muslims around the world will commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son.”

Which son was that, Hussein? Isaac or Ishmael? Can you be a bit more specific?

Abraham’s other boy, Ishmael, the one who got ran off and cursed, is where Arabs come from. Odd do they not mention that part?

The Koran claims that Ibrahim (the Muslim Abraham) went to sacrifice Ishmael, not Isaac. In addition, the Koran claims that Abraham was a Muslim. Islam seeks to ingest those parts of Judaism and Christianity that it finds useful, and it pollutes and defiles the rest.

Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha?
Isn’t that where the muzzies go and worship a black rock?

It’s a meteorite actually, isn’t the block thing just a stand for the meteor?

I can only wonder if, getting into the spirit of things, King Hussein will slaughter a goat in the Rose Garden?

This guy spends more time bucking up the Muslims than the American people.

For Eid (the translations is something like “the festival of the slaughter of the lamb”), a good Muslim is obligated to slaughter a goat or lamb, or a camel, if he can afford it in the name of Allah and distribute the meat to the poor.

One thing about Islam: it's a very literal religion, especially where slaughtering is concerned.

I’m sure there are goat entrails somewhere on the WH premises, unless the wookie and her fat ... got to them first.

Both where Jews btw.

Care to back up that statement. What is a Jew and where did they first originate?

....On Eid, Muslims around the world will commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, and distribute food to those less fortunate....

Except the Qur’an got the wrong son—not Isaac, the ancestor of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, but Ishmael, “a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him”.

The sacrifice of Isaac—with the substitution of a ram—prefigures the Pascha feast and the sacrifice of God’s own Son. The supposed “sacrifice” of Ishmael was another one of Muhammad’s misunderstandings of Scripture and Tradition that are rife in the Qur’an, and show it to be false. For example, the Qur’an says that the Virgin Mary was the same as Moses’ sister, Miriam. There are many other Qur’anic bloopers.

We Orthodox Christians are providing food for “those less fortunate” during the Nativity Fast, with NO STRINGS ATTACHED, as is usual. Many other Christian groups do the same. But I imagine that the charity of the muslims on their Eid goes only to muslims.

As for obama’s big emphasis on Eid and Hajj greetings to muslims, he makes much, much less of a show of good will at Nativity, Pascha, and other Christian feasts, as well as Jewish feasts such as Chanukah, Passover, and Rosh Hashanah. We all know why.

I’m so tired of this crap. And when Zero’s Muslim allies carry out a massacre of Christians in Iraq, Obama, like most of the MSM, is silent.
