President Barack Obama has issued a statement on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, which commemorates the Muslim belief that Abraham was willing to sacrifice to God his son Ishmael (rather than Isaac, as related in the Old Testament).
“Michelle and I would like to extend our best wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world who are celebrating Eid al-Adha, and to congratulate those performing the Hajj [pilgrimage to Mecca] this year,” he said.
“As our Muslim neighbors and friends gather for Eid celebrations, Muslim Americans are among the millions of pilgrims joining one of the world’s largest and most diverse gatherings,” he continued. “Hajj brings together Muslims from around the world – Sunni and Shiite – to share in reverent prayer, side by side. It serves as a reminder that no matter one’s tribe or sect, race or religion, gender or age, we are equals in humanity.”
“On Eid, Muslims continue the tradition of donating to the poor and joining efforts with other faith communities in providing assistance to those suffering from hunger, sickness, oppression, and conflict,” he added. “Their service is a powerful example of the shared roots of the world’s Abrahamic faiths and how our communities can come together in shared peace, with dignity and a sense of justice.”
The president concluded, “On behalf of the American people, we extend our warmest greetings during this holiday. May the prayers of peace made by the Hajj pilgrims and those of all faiths around the world be heard and granted. Eid Mubarak [blessed Eid].”

Amen!
He’s such an ahole.
I hate you, Barry! You dog-eating, madrassah-raised POS.
n Islam, taqiyya تقية (alternative spellings taqiyeh, taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation, or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.
They are LIARS. They speak double-speak. Pay close attention next time Megan Kelly or O'Riley interviews an imam from a local mosque. They never give a straight answer - they lie through their teeth.
The Arabs were also a blessed people. That is, until they turned to false gods.
Might not be necessary as the Hajj will undoubtedly be attended by numerous worshipers from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria.
There’s been a long line of false gods with those people. Going at least all the way back to Bael. Probably further back than that.
Obama is a POS.
Pray America wakes up
Obama referring to the “pilgrimage” to Mecca:
“It serves as a reminder that no matter one’s tribe or sect, race or religion, gender or age, we are equals in humanity.”
This idiot we call Obama, literally believes all of America is just as stupid as he is...How else could he so boldly lie in your face, while presenting muslims as equals in humanity?
According to KFOR, in the letter Obama thanked the congregation for their community service in the aftermath of a devastating tornado that wrecked havoc in Moore last year.
Myers’ special trip was seemingly meant to counteract negative attention the mosque has received following Nolen’s gruesome murder of coworker Colleen Hufford.
I would much rather have an American President issue such a letter today, on the first evening of SUKKOTH, rather than kiss the whatever of the same people who are at war with us!
When was the last time anyone saw him going into a church of any kind?
He never “extends good wishes” to Christians. Somebody should ask him, “Are you Sunni or Shiite?”
“Hajj brings together Muslims from around the world – Sunni and Shiite – to share in reverent prayer, side by side. It serves as a reminder that no matter one’s tribe or sect, race or religion, gender or age, we are equals in humanity. ”
I wonder how many people from West Africa are going to attend, and share their “special little friends” with people from the Mid East and Asia? I fear that this could be THE event that catapults Ebola to worldwide pandemic status.
“Feel free to take as many Christian heads as you want on your pilgrimage”
ISIS is the REAL FACE of ISLAM. Just ask any Middle Eastern Christian!
” May the prayers of peace made by the Hajj pilgrims and those of all faiths around the world be heard and granted. Eid Mubarak [blessed Eid].”
Really? Peace?
Moehammedans believe there will be no “peace” until the whole world belongs to islam and everyone worships the moon god.
Yes this is what he really wants.
It serves as a reminder that no matter one’s tribe or sect, race or religion, gender or age, we are equals in humanity.”
Where does he get this stuff?
How many churches in Saudi Arabia?
Barak doesn’t consider himself an infidel,
tells me all I need to know.
