Another Obama White House Lie About Islam Written By : Warner Todd Huston
Remember that iftar dinner the president sponsored? The dinner that got him in trouble because he came out in strong support of the mega-mosque at Ground Zero, support from which he backed away the very next day? Well, it turns out he delivered another blatant lie at that dinner, one that slipped under the radar because his support of the Ground Zero Mosque was so controversial.
In his remarks at the iftar observance, Obama claimed that the “first” iftar dinner in the White House was hosted by Thomas Jefferson.
Tonight, we are reminded that Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity. And Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America. The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan—making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.
In this way, Obama tried to make it seem as if the United States has respected Islam since the early Republic and has observed its celebrations for two hundred years. But this is a major stretching of the truth. Thomas Jefferson did not hold an “iftar” dinner, unless you might call the dinner Obama references “iftar by default.”
Naturally, the left-wing Old Media took Obama’s blatant misconstruction of historical events and went even farther down the road of untruths and lies. The New York Times published a story the next day referencing Jefferson’s mythical iftar dinner and made of it a “White House tradition”!
In hosting the iftar, Mr. Obama was following a White House tradition that, while sporadic, dates to Thomas Jefferson, who held a sunset dinner for the first Muslim ambassador to the United States. President George W. Bush hosted iftars annually.
What tosh. There has never been a tradition of iftar dinners at the White House, sporadic or otherwise, until after the year 1992. Jefferson’s dinner was no iftar dinner and no other president until Bill Clinton even hosted one. We have a “tradition” of exactly three presidents holding iftar dinners, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Barack Obama. Not much of a tradition that.
So what of this claim of Jefferson’s iftar dinner? As Jihad Watch informs us, there never really was one. The truth is that in 1805 Jefferson invited to a dinner at the White House one Sidi Soliman Melli Melli, the diplomatic envoy that the Bey of Tunis sent to Washington. The time set for this dinner was 3:30 PM, the normal time that everyone then ate dinner in those days. Since it was Ramadan, however, the envoy informed Jefferson that he could not attend until the sun went down because he was observing his fasting ritual.
Jefferson then offered to push his dinner hour until the sun went down as a courtesy to his invited guest. It was as simple as that. There was no mention of any iftar anything. President Jefferson simply moved the hour of dinner to suit the envoy. There was no change to what was served in order to suit Muslim needs, there was no acknowledgement of the Muslim faith, and no observance of any “iftar” dinner. Jefferson was just being a nice guy.
And of this historical incident, Obama and his cohorts in the left-wing, Old Media have created a mythical “sporadic tradition.” But for Obama and the New York Times to mislead the American people into imagining that the White House has celebrated iftar all the way back to 1805 is simply a straight out lie.
Or standard of any kind.
Jefferson fought the Barbary pirates - they were muslims! I don’t think he exactly squared with the muslim faith.
WHAT?!
Excellent. Hope everyone will read the linked article. Devestating.
None of them actually really care; they only care that he's willing to give them their selfish and hateful due.

Ping.
The LYING usurper, obummer, spreads false claim that Thomas Jefferson hosted first Ramadan iftar dinner at White House
Jihad Watch ^ | 8/4/11 | Robert
The State Department retails the PC myth in this article, “Thomas Jefferson’s Iftar,” July 29. Nor is this the first time this falsehood has gone around: the State announcement quotes Barack obummer saying last year: “Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been a part of America. The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan — making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.”
Longtime Jihad Watch writer Hugh Fitzgerald busted this myth in his piece “Barack obummer, The New York Times, that Iftar Dinner, and the rewriting of history,” which was first published here at Jihad Watch on August 26, 2010. Here it is again:
Barack obummer, The New York Times, that Iftar Dinner, and the rewriting of history by Hugh Fitzgerald.
Liar, Liar.
Taqquiyaa.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Momma Grizzly Disapproves....
Does not like.
We must endure this ahole for another year and a half!
Dow tanks 500 in one day.
Hussein partys like it’s 1999.
Thanks for the article by Fitzgerald. It was a great read.
Obama counts on the fact that the publick skools of America no longer teach American history, and that is how he gets away with his preposterous lies and gross exaggerations.
Thanks for setting the record (of Jeffersonian history) straight.
Oink!
I forgot it was time for him to drag out his prayer rug and forbid any pictures of it. Why is he so ashamed? Oh and Yeah I am so sure Jefferson smoked hemp with turbin heads on ramadan and dragged out his prayer rug too.
This reminds me of when OBummer’s parents were so inspired by marching in Selma that they went back in time and conceived their Lightworker.
Taqiyya alert! Taqiyya alert!

Seems like not many FR’s do either. Anyone old enough to remember the Marine song “From the Hills of Montezuma - to the Shores of Tripoli. We will fight our country's battles - on the land and on the sea? -
Had to do with clipping the wings of the mooseslime’s push to rule the world over 200 yrs ago. Every few hundred years, for centuries, they have had to be beaten back into the sand.
