The White House celebrated it’s first-ever Eid al-Adha this week, a Muslim holiday celebrating the end of the Hajj, the holy pilgrimage to Mecca:
TODAY’S ZAMAN – The White House hosted an event to celebrate Eid al-Adha on Tuesday for the first time ever with the sponsorship of the Rumi Forum, an international organization established by Turks living in Washington, D.C., to foster intercultural dialogue.
The White House traditionally hosts an iftar (fast-breaking) dinner every year for representatives of Muslim communities in the United States, but Tuesday’s event was the first time that they have hosted a celebratory event for Eid al-Adha, upon the suggestion of Rumi Forum. The opening speech of the event was made by White House Public Relations Office Deputy Director Ashley Allison and Rumi Forum President Emre Çelik.
The forum, of which Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen is the honorary chairman, provided food for the event.
Speaking to Today’s Zaman, Çelik said Rumi Forum came up with the idea to host a celebratory event for Eid al-Adha with the attendance of representatives from different religions. The event was attended by about 60 people from various interfaith organizations in Washington, including representatives from Christian and Jewish organizations in the US, as well as Muslims.
For Obama to be a Christian, his White House sure does celebrate a lot of Muslim Holidays

After all, we are a “Muslim country” as per our own caliph. So it is appropriate.
Today’s Final Jeopardy answer is:
Ebola and Muslims
Final Jeopardy question is:
What are two things that should have never come to America?...
“the sponsorship of the Rumi Forum, an international organization established by Turks living in Washington, D.C.,”

good one, but too bad it is much too late for either, but we will nbeed to get rid of both heading down the road.
Misleading headline. Muslim celebrations have been held at the White House since at least Clinton and Bush II.

The Islam loving media whores will say that is not true Islam and it must be from groups like ISIS or Al Qaida that would harm children like that. Islam is a religion of peace. Having said that I never knew Muslims were THIS sick to do this to their own children. Barry Soetoro has a head scar from a ritual like this?
The Bushes were in the pockets of the Saudis, so it follows they would have celebrated the Muslim holidays.
It’s about time our muslim community apologizes for the slave trade...past and present. Why aren’t muslims making reparations to American blacks? It was muslims who captured, enslaved, and sold blacks from Africa. Why aren’t they paying the reparations? Why aren’t blacks demonstrating outside mosques?
The Jewish people are celebrating holidays now (Shemini Atzeret and Simkhat Torah).
Is Obama’s house celebrating those as well?
I can't say if it's from an Ashura ritual during the time he was being raised as an Indonesian muslim or not. You decide.Mystery Scars on Obama's Head
Great. Just great.
Celebrating our enemy’s holidays - just getting us sheep prepared for the final Transformation of Amerika under the Caliph-in-chief. -
How long until they mandate celebrating May Day, along with all the other Communists?
White House antics, as usual.
“Misleading headline. Muslim celebrations have been held at the White House since at least Clinton and Bush II.”
I believe there is a big difference between “Iftar”(which the other Presidents had a dinner for) and “Eid al-Adh”
“The guy seems to have recovered from a nasty head wound”.
I would submit that he has not recovered.
