Presidential Message on Ramadan
The White House ^ | May 15, 2018 | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 05/16/2018 2:45:26 AM PDT by Ulmius

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.

There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.

The Constitution promises us freedom of religion. I support President Trump wishing Muslims a happy holiday in this way. I have no problems with it. I don’t have to agree with the lifestyles of my fellow Americans. For me, freedom for myself is so important that I wish everyone else to have the same.

I suppose it’s a part of diplomacy in the world and unfortunately, this country ...that we have allowed the invasion.
It sucks. I don’t like it.
I think he should tell all Muslims to hit the road to Mecca for nuking.

I wish he hadn’t done this. NO Christian can echo this greeting. Islam is 100% false prophesy.

A reminder to all concealed carry holders. Please carry yours during Ramadan in case any special festivities happen which you may want to join.
