President Obama marks the Hajj and Eid al-Adha
IBD ^ | November 5, 2011 | Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour.

Posted on 11/07/2011 10:59:54 AM PST by yoe

Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid al-Adha to Muslims worldwide and congratulate those performing Hajj.

Thousands of Muslim Americans are among those who have joined one of the world’s largest and most diverse gatherings in making the pilgrimage to Mecca and nearby sites.

As Muslims celebrate this Eid, they will also commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son by distributing food to those less fortunate around the world. They join the United States and the international community in relief efforts to assist those struggling to survive in the Horn of Africa and those recovering from the devastating earthquake in Turkey.

The Eid and Hajj rituals are a reminder of the shared roots of the world’s Abrahamic faiths and the powerful role that faith plays in motivating communities to serve and stand with those in need. On behalf of the American people, we extend our best wishes during this Hajj season.

I see nothing wrong with this except this man and his wife do not extend the same greetings to other religions....it would seem that a vote for Obama is a vote for Islam.

I see everything wrong with it. He spits in the eye of every survivor and family members and friends of 9/11 victims.

Also, notice the very careful wording.

Nothing mentioned about sacrificing goats all over the place. And “Abraham offering to sacrifice his son” glosses over the disturbing fact that according to the Koran, the son in question is not Isaac, as it states in the Bible, but Ishmael.

In other words, Mohammed flatly contradicted the Bible when he invented this story—and many others.

That wouldn’t happen, because Michelle doesn’t like the sun.

“It burns! It burns!”

Diverse? Right.

Let's see what happens if someone from one of the other "world’s Abrahamic faiths" were to try to attend...

Dove tails nicely with the new show coming out soon, “Muslim in America”.

More islam propaganda to assuage the sheep before the slaughter.

He’s a tool, and most likely muslim, but he does usually do a Merry Christmas greeting.

Yes.

With the end of Hajj and Eid al-Adha, he’s at the podium, with the presidential theme music and as formal as he can possibly be.

With the Christmas greeting, it’s during the time he’s leaving the White House and going to his limo to get to the nearest golf course in Florida.

Go easy on the Muslims. They are, after all, the people who looked at a camel’s hump and decided it would be a comfortable place to sit.

I DO, as this statement is PURE, BOVINE EXCREMENT!!!

"As Muslims celebrate this Eid, they will also commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son by distributing food to those less fortunate around the world. They join the United States and the international community in relief efforts to assist those struggling to survive in the Horn of Africa and those recovering from the devastating earthquake in Turkey."

Since when has any Islamic Organization ever, lent a helping hand to ANYONE (other than, providing assistance to the many Suicide Bombers' familie) anywhere in the world?

ALL of the strife and terrorist activities in African is mostly due to the efforts of the Radical Jihadists in their efforts of supremacists.

No, not all Mooslimbs are terrorists, but 99% of the Terrorists are...and proudly, proclaim so!!! The Eid and Hajj rituals are a reminder of the shared roots of the world’s Abrahamic faiths and the powerful role that faith plays in motivating communities to serve and stand with those in need

Mohamm was a barbaric ahole, who saw there was no way to unite people behind him, so he made up his religion, including things he had learned from Christian and Jewish associates in order to enslave folks behind his barbaric desires..pure scum of the earth...

“Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid al-Adha to Muslims worldwide and congratulate those performing Hajj.”

“Happy”? Is there anything “happy” in the Muslim world?

I’m pretty sure being “happy” will get you beheaded or stoned to death.
