To celebrate Ramadan, we should feast on barbecued hog ribs washed down with
Crusader ale.
To: Paladin2
LOL! They don’t give a Jihad. You would think that considering the bad name terrorism is giving Islam that Muslims would take to the streets word wide and hold massive protests against terrorism, millions of them crowding streets screaming NO MORE, but they really don’t give a Jihad do they.
To: Rummyfan
Do they celebrate Christmas in Saudi Arabia? If our government celebrates Ramadam it must celebrate a thousand Hindu holidays, Kwansa, Pastafarian holidays, etc. Hillary was not elected so the White House will not be celebrating Walpurgis Night. Not celebrating Ramadan is a long held American tradition going all the way back to May 27.

"first time in nearly two decades"
I caught that weaselly wording, too. Perhaps 15 or sixteen years, tops.
They generously rounded that "nearly" word up.
And I seriously doubt that even GWB celebrated the WHOLE month of Ramadan.
I'm 50, and I don't recall any other POTUS before Bush even *mentioning* Eid or Ramadan in any capacity. (Why would they?)
There are so many religions, and each one celebrates their own holidays.
Is the President some kind of "hater" if he doesn't do something "special" for each one?

This “long tradition” should have ended the day the “long tradition” of not attacking buildings and citizens in New York City ended.
George W. Bush’s slimy attempts to make nice with US Muslims, instead of rounding them up and sending them back, was a disgrace.

I'm certain WaPost writer, Amy WANG, is very concerned about President Trump "ending a long tradition of celebrating Ramadan at the White House."
My God, Amy's surname, Wang, is a dead-bang giveaway! She must be a Muslim herself, right? LOL.
This tradition goes back to molly-coddleling President B.J. Clinton, for crying out loud, and was carried through each year by politically correct Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, for all the good it did.
Praise God and President Trump for having the good sense to put an end to this Ramadan nonsense.
Our Republic remains a Christian-Judeo nation. Ramadan and all other Moslem crap has no place in our White House.

I hear that this year the Bush family is going to have just a small, down-home family celebration of Eid Ramadan …

To: Hadean
In the early days of December 1805, a handful of prominent politicians received formal invitations to join President Thomas Jefferson for a White House dinner. The President delaying dinner time until after sunset for the convenience of an invited ambassador is not the celebration of a foreign religious feast. Since sunset is about 4:45 pm local solar time at Washington's latitude in mid-December, it wasn't a huge shift in schedule.

Bush I - Obama was an anti-American, globalist interregnum as far as I am concerned. A long, soft coup against American primacy and sovereignty.
I’m loving this. I also need to observe ramadan next year. Pork sausage, roasts, bacon, barbeque, beer and firearms practice every day. Culminate with a day of fasting and prayer for judgment on that 1,400 year long bloody, filth caked crime spree.
