With the rising of tonight’s moon, I send my greetings and best wishes to all Muslims observing Ramadan in the United States and around the world.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Quran to the prophet Muhammad through fellowship and prayer. Many observe this holy time by fasting, performing acts of charity, reciting prayers, and reading the Quran.
Ramadan is a time of self-reflection intended to deepen one’s spiritual growth and renew a sense of appreciation for the many blessings God provides. In this spirit of thanksgiving and reflection, those observing Ramadan can strengthen our communities, help those in need, and serve as good examples for how to live a holy life.
Ramadan reminds us of the richness Muslims add to the religious tapestry of American life. In the United States, we are all blessed to live under a Constitution that fosters religious liberty and respects religious practice. Our Constitution ensures Muslims can observe Ramadan in accordance with the dictates of conscience and unimpeded by government. By doing so, the Constitution also furnishes varied opportunities for all Americans to deepen their understanding of the human soul.
As so many people unite to celebrate Ramadan, Melania and I join in the hope for a blessed month. Ramadan Mubarak.
And their reply: We Kill YOU!
Yada, yada, yada...
Cantrast the president’s message with that of the TRADITIONAL (pre-”Vatican II”) Church as spoken by a TRUE pope:
Certainly such attempts [at interreligious unity] can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.
(Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Mortalium Animos, n. 2)
Compounding the problem.
Listen to Barry. He sounded like he was trying to convert people.
Oh sure, he isn't a Muslim.
And then this jackass would have Ramadan dinners, more Ramadan speeches, Ramadan White House gatherings, Ramadan visitors, Ramadan prayers given by Muslim Imams, Ramadan commemorative plaques, and Ramadan press events.
And then at the National Prayer Breakfast, each year he would attack Christianity.
islam=9/11.
All you need to know.
He should have tweeted it. Then I wouldn’t have read it.
All moslems present in the United States should understand that they're being watched...ALL THE TIME!
That so doesn’t sound like Trump. A more useful and authentic one from him might be “Behave!”
We should stop doing this.
“Behave” was so damned good!!
Yes, our President is pithy and I like that so much!! I am so happy we voted him in. Nothing wishy washy and I am grateful!! I wonder if he is an INTJ. We are a rare species!!
Bad Moon Rising
Creedence Clearwater Revival
I see a bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times today
Don’t go ‘round tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don’t go ‘round tonight
It’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
I hope you got your things together
I hope…
Yes, let's ALL OF US actually read the Quran.
And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.
Replacement Theology.
It seems to me that POTUS is giving Muslims the opportunity to actually live up to their platitudes about Islam.
It’s not like old FDR’s Ramadan messages...
Islam is not a religion. We need to stop recognizing it as one. It is an ideology rooted in oppression.
OMG.
Please say this is satire.
They can <]{<<{!>{!{! with their evil rites that don’t even happen on a regular schedule.
