Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan
White House ^ | June 5, 2016 | Obama

Posted on 06/13/2016 3:35:31 AM PDT by Jess Kitting

As another new moon heralds the start of the holy month of Ramadan, Michelle and I extend our best wishes to Muslims across the United States and around the world.

For many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, forgiveness, patience and resilience, compassion for those less fortunate, and unity across communities. Each lesson is profound on its own, and taken together forms a harmonious whole. It’s also a time of year that brings some of the best dishes to the table across the world as families and neighbors gather for iftar.

Here in the United States, we are blessed with Muslim communities as diverse as our nation itself. There are those whose heritage can be traced back to the very beginning of our nation, as well as those who have only just arrived. Doctors, lawyers, artists, teachers, scientists, community organizers, public servants, and military members, each night will all break their fasts together in cities across America.

As Muslim Americans celebrate the holy month, I am reminded that we are one American family. I stand firmly with Muslim American communities in rejection of the voices that seek to divide us or limit our religious freedoms or civil rights. I stand committed to safeguarding the civil rights of all Americans no matter their religion or appearance. I stand in celebration of our common humanity and dedication to peace and justice for all.

And in this month of reflection, we cannot forget the millions of lives that have been displaced by conflict and struggle, across the world and in our own backyards. Far too many Muslims may not be able to observe Ramadan from the comfort of their own homes this year or afford to celebrate Eid with their children. We must continue working together to alleviate the suffering of these individuals. This sacred time reminds us of our common obligations to uphold the dignity of every human being. We will continue to welcome immigrants and refugees into our nation, including those who are Muslim.

As I have done throughout my presidency, I look forward to opening the doors of the White House to Muslim Americans during this special occasion – this year for an Eid celebration marking the end of Ramadan. I can think of no better way to mark my Administration’s last celebration of Ramadan as President than to honor the contributions of Muslims in America and across the world for Eid. Ramadan Kareem.

A Ramadan Carol:

Fill the floors with lots of victims
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
'Cause we really need to fix 'em
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Don we now our Muslim head gear
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Shoot the bloody kafirs dead here
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Kill the queers with guns and roof drops
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Spill their beers and hear those gun pops
(All-ahu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
’Cause Mohammed said to do it
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Watch Obama misconstrue it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Death to all who doubt our prophet
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Take a bomb to work and drop it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Rape and sell off all their women
Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Leave the streets with blood a-brimmin’
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Obama’s fellow Muslim Terrorist probably got up at midnight, which is common in Ramadan, and then drove to KILL as many AMericans as you can.......it’s ALL PART OF BEING MUSLIM!!

This piece of puke just won’t shut up. Not even after his homosexual buddies were so ruthlessly mowed down by a muzzie. This POS has no common sense

Obama and yesterday’s terrorist BOTH cheered the
death of 3000 Americans.

BOTH refuse to pledge to America, but pledged to
Islamic terrorism and conquest.

What President Obama REALLY Meant to say:

Michelle and I extend our best wishes to gun-toting Muslims across the United States and around the world and Inshallah may our conquest of it be akin to Muhammad's great wars of conquest.

For many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, such as killing as many infidels as possible, forgiveness to those that do not kill enough people, patience and resilience so that we may defeat these Infidels, compassion for those less fortunate to fall under our control, and unity across communities linking up one great Caliphate.

Each lesson is profound on its own, and taken together forms a harmonious whole Kamikaze force. It’s also a time of year that brings some of the best AK-47 clips to the table across the world as families and neighbors gather for iftar and pray for the destruction of their unbelieving neighbors.

Here in the United States, we are blessed with Muslim communities, thousands of whom are in sleeper cells as diverse as our nation itself.

There are those whose heritage can be traced back to the very beginning of our slave trade of black Africans, our nation, as well as those who have only just arrived, many, illegally.

Doctors to treat our wounded warrior Jihadis, lawyers to defend their honor killings, artists to paint Islamic propaganda, teachers who will poison the minds of our young people with hatred and bigotry, scientists who will develop undetectable explosive compounds for bombs, community organizers who will take care of the Shahid orphans, public servants who will lie and capitulate to Islam, and military members who will do their utmost to kill the Infidel Crusader armies, each night will all break their (neighbors’ necks by hanging )fasts together in cities across America.

Insha’alla and Allu Ha Akbar to you all...

This should be a statement calling on Muslins to reflect on Islam and reject Sharia and Islamic teachings of hate or to renounce it. It should be do this or die. Instead, we have a president that embraces Islam, celebrate its evil while American blood is spilt. Obama cannot be gone soon enough, both him and his GOPe enablers.

Neither Obama, al Qaeda nor ISIS have ever been to a Gun-Free Zone that they didn’t like.
