Breaking with tradition, the White House under President Donald Trump did not host an iftar dinner, the meal Muslims eat to break their daily fast during Ramadan.

The dinner, which has been often attended by prominent members of the U.S. Muslim community, began in 1996 during former President Bill Clinton’s White House tenure and continued through the subsequent Bush and Obama administrations.

Trump and first lady Melania simply issued a brief statement Saturday that offered “warm greetings” to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the close of Ramadan, Islam’s holy month of fasting.

Islam is not a Religion, not a Race, it is the ideology of a 7th century Pedophile War Lord.

There has been a Seder at the White House every year for years now.

Supposedly, Trump became a Christian, sometime before the election.

I don't know if he really did.

But this is encouraging.

Good. No president should be endorsing the religion of hate, terror, and death.

GOOD!!!!

Meanwhile, the Huffington and Puffington Post continues to bash our President, and the vile subversive Linda Sarsour (cockroach) leads an Iftar in front of Trump Tower. She says that it s designed to show “New Yorkers” what “solidarity” looks like.

What is REALLY shows is that America’s largest city—New York City—has been invaded by hundreds of muslims, who intend to completely take it over as soon as they can. That goes for the rest of our towns and cities as well.

Deport them all!!!! PHOOEY!!!!

It’s the White House, it’s no longer The Ramadan Inn!

It's no longer the Rainbow Inn either.

So Trump is not pandering to Terrorists, and he is not worried that offending moderate jihadists will incite them.

He has been a Christian of one sort or another since his Baptism, and Norman Vincent Peale was his mentor. (Yes, liberal Protestantism once in part leaned politically Right.)

In 2016, Donald Trump supposedly became an Evangelical Protestant Christian.

At least he is not selling us out to islam as his immediate predecessors did!! Good!!!!

“Breaking with tradition...”

The nation had a 188 year tradition of NOT celebrating the pagan holiday. Let’s stick with THAT tradition.

Whatever the President personally believes, he’s done more in his short tenure to advance Christianity than our former self designated Christian presidents.

President Trump’s stance on Ramadan is pitch perfect. Only the bed wetters on the coasts have problems with it. Normal Americans were always horrified that such a thing would be celebrated in our White House.

And he has struck a better deal with Saudi Arabia & the Gulf States then any other previous president.

So even to Muslims substance matters not pointless public posturing like Ramadan dinners!
