President Donald Trump excluded a variety of domestic Islamic groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood from his first White House annual Islamic Iftar dinner. The exclusion is a sharp change from former President Barack Obama, who put the Brotherhood-linked groups front-and-center in his Iftar dinners and his Middle East strategy. His regional strategy crashed once the Brotherhood groups in Egypt, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and other countries were unable to restrain their Islamic radicalism during the so-called Arab Spring.
Reports show that most of the invitees at the dinner were the ambassadors of Islamic countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Morocco. The dinner marks the end of the Islamic Ramadan season of fasting.
Among the excluded political groups were the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Also excluded were the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which cater to Muslim immigrants from Arab countries and from the Indian sub-continent.

The following is part of the MB credo. Obama had Brotherhood members in his administration
[spit!]
From the Explanatory Memorandum the Muslim Brotherhood in America in its own words:
The process of settlement is a Civilization-Jihadist Process with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Gods religion is made victorious over all other religions.
We’re not hearing much these days from Cair etc. but I suspect they’re in the courts fighting...
When I’m emperor, we’ll have a cochon de lait for Iftar.
It ends ‘the fasting’ not Ramadan itself...
Being a youngster raised as a muslim you are not going to flush that out of your system of beliefs.
Also very smart! What a mind!
This is the first one Trump has held. Don't you need to have at least two for it to become an "annual" dinner?
Best election ever!
Wow all those people and only one fez and one scarf.
So it will be after sunset but not on the first day of the month following Ramadan.
It was already established by other administrations. Try not to look so close to find issues that aren’t there.
Google can help you with that.
This is this administration and if Trump has shown anything it's that he doesn't care what past administrations did. He didn't hold the dinner last year and is holding it this year. It remains to be seen if it will go back to being an annual event.
Yep....ambassadors generally wear western attire to be on equal footing. Unless of course it was Obama hosting then the room was full of scarfs etc.
Trump shows he has nothing against m*slims, just against the violent fanatical ones. He likes the half dozen or so that aren’t violent or fanatical.
Ya gotta love President Trump!
The exact opposite of the loser in office before President Trump.
Winning and showing how it’s done when it’s done right!
Those who obviously don’t have rocks for brains!
He’s not about what religion people are.....he’s about those who are for life and getting done the business at hand...
