The Iftar is the evening meal after sunset that concludes the daily fasting during the month of Ramadan. Observers around the world gather with families, loved ones, and communities to break their fast together. For observers, the Iftar dinner and Ramadan are a time to reflect on humanity and to reaffirm commitments to helping the less fortunate. This year, Ramadan, which follows the lunar calendar, is taking place during the longest days of the year.

Obama’s all about promoting Muslims/Islam throughout our country and frequently “rewards” these activists who do his footwork on behave of Islam.

The activists are frequently young people as they are so easily led and why so many on college campuses where they set up many agenda’s and protests seen and heard on the street....over them are ‘seasoned’ Islamic Instructors and Clerics who know full well their entire work is about the Islamification of America by Stealth Jihad.

Obam is the leader of all this IMO...

comrade nero-bama is all about shoving into whitey’s face how he thinks it feels to be black in “racist” America by ignoring and trivializing any injustice against whites and elevating every whim and “need” of minorities to stratospheric levels. He is entirely motivated by REVENGE, this self-proclaimed “devout Christian” (psst...comrade nero-bama...Romans 12:19 - Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.).

Perhaps we need to show comrade nero-bama how it feels to be white in “sacred cow” groups America.

0h0m0 couldn’t wear hijab because “he” is still in the closet.

I’m sure he wanted the young “guy” in the western attire seated there as a project to work on.

Poor Reggie, he must be in tears.

"...shatters and dismembers the hateful stereotypes, which are the reasons for, like, the Charleston shootings and the Chapel Hill shootings and all the hate crimes that happen."

Ummmmm like all the shootings in Chicago week after week, month after month, year after year of Blacks killing Blacks or Illegal aliens killing a young white woman etc. etc....Obama really is fair and balanced. NOT.

I found his entire meeting he described ..interesting...as it reveals the mindset of Obama..and as much the muslim activist...you can see soo much in their exchange regardless if guarded or not.

No doubt we will not see that in the news....

The equivalent of the Roosevelts, during the period 1941-45, hosting Japanese tea ceremonies and German Oktoberfest celebrations at the White House.

Unthinkable then. Business as usual now.

They left their mixed marriage kids at their barns.

Roberts must have presided over the en masse goat marriage.

This dinner took place last month but still shows his friendliness to Muslims in spite of the problems we’ve had with them.

Neither defending not attacking. Merely pointing out that this practice has taken place under several administrations and is not unique to the current one. GW hosted 8 similar dinners.

It’s good to know the accurate details of this stuff.

I did notice, however, that Hillary revised the tradition in 1996 of hosting a dinner to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr marking end of Ramadan.

The meal should never have been scheduled, but if scheduled, it should have been cancelled.
