Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan
whitehouse.gov ^ | Aug. 11, 2010 | Barack Hussein Obama

Posted on 08/12/2010 5:13:29 PM PDT by PROCON

On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared. But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country. And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan.

I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.

May God’s peace be upon you.

>> Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings

I guess that the muzzie Obama thinks that only muslims are human beings.

Hell, muzzies don’t even treat each other with tolerance and dignity. I think Obozo’s been hitting the nose candy again.

What a load of crap. I challenge Zero to list one positive contribution of Islam to human progress.

“...Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”

This is the biggest load of shiite I’ve read in a while.

Hey obamadinejad - how about naming some of these extraordinary contributions aside from September 11, the Ft. Hood Massacre, and the World Trade Center bombing?

Ask yourself why he is being so provocative. He is asking for disorder and anger from America. Why?

Speak for yourself. Because you are NOT speaking for me.

the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God.

Before these towelheads brought down the WTC, did any American President even speak the word Ramadan? There is nothing to celebrate. I hope Obama pay for his great Iftar (Any real Americans ever hear that word before?) dinner himself. It shouldn't be paid for by the American People.

ML/NJ

On behalf of the American people...

Obama should get the hell out of our country and go back to whatever third world sh*thole he crawled out of.

That is the voice of ‘the American people’.

We have a Muzzie Kenyan speaking for America. G-D help us.

For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make –

This is obviously part of Obama’s “hope and change” he so often referred to in his campaign.
