For the first time ever, the U.S. House of Representatives, on a 376 – 0 vote, passed a resolution honoring the Islamic holiday Ramadan and commending Muslims for their faith.

Ron Paul voted for this? Or did he abstain?

He normally opposes such things.

Paul voted for it.

Twenty percent of Republicans vote ‘present’ on Ramadan resolution (Ron Paul voted Yea)

The resolution recognized “the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world,” rejected “hatred, bigotry and violence directed against Muslims, both in the United States and worldwide”

Yet, he was the only one to vote no on this one!

Here’s one of Ron’s votes from last week, the only NO vote on this one. Rebel Ron Paul at it again, but what is the Point? Is he against labor rights in Iran? All labor rights? What?

Indeed he does. He didn't get the nickname "Dr. No" for nothing. RP votes 'nay' on practically everything. Quite revealing that he voted 'yea' this time, especially in light of his recent 9/11 comments.
