White House celebrates another Muslim holiday for the first time

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

Only Shiites do the Ashura thing -- it mourns the Shiite military defeat that led to the Shiite-Sunni split.

Pres--ent Obola is a Sunni. (The majority of Indonesians are, too.)

More specifically, the martyrdom of Hussein (mmm, mmm, mmm), grandson of Mohammed.

Trying to think up a snappy comment without sounding snarkily ...

How 'bout: "Where is the outrage from those who lament the lack of separation of church and state?"

"Ever wonder about 'Bammy's head scar?"

Actually, when I saw the photos in your post, Zero's head scar immediately came to mind. I'll be damned. Barbarians.

EID is the part of Ramadan where Muslims slaughter goats and hang the body parts around the town for ten days so they can smell them rot. It is to simulate the smell of the dead in the day Armageddon slaughter when all the infidels on the earth are killed and left to rot in the streets.

Islam does not use secret codes to communicate, it uses the Qu’ran and headlines in news papers. Muslims are masters of lies and political intrigue

This is a signal from the Mullah in the Whitehouse that America is destroyed, and he is celebrating it.

I refuse to “have a changfe of heart” on the following issue:

I believe, and am willing to defend this belief with my own blood, that every stinking koran practitioner is a danger to the health, life, and happiness of every American, and should be fed to the sharks, ‘gators’, and griz’s that inhabit this land. Their supposed holy buildings must be brought down stone by stone, rivet by rivet, nail by nail.

Our human ancestors did this with Carthage, and every major conquered building, whether they be cowboys, Tartars, Romans, Huns, Red Chinese, or Soviet Russians. it is time to follow suit with this bunch, first here, on our beloved home soil, than the rest of their infested areas.
