Ramadan—the Muslim holy month of fasting—has officially started across the world, with politicians and celebrities alike sharing messages to the Muslim community on social media.
President Donald Trump issued a presidential message on Thursday, expressing wishes to all Muslims in the U.S. and around the world.
"For millions around the globe, this holy month is an opportunity to renew and strengthen their faith through rigorous fasting, devout prayer, reflective meditation, reading the Quran, and charitable deeds," read the message. "These acts are closely aligned with the universal values that the Islamic faith promotes—peace, kindness, and love and respect for others.
"Over the past months, we have seen how important the power of prayer can be during challenging times. Today, as the holy month of Ramadan commences, I pray that those who are observing this sacred time find comfort and reassurance in their faith. Ramadan Mubarak."
Democrat Presidental 2020 candidate and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden shared his message from his blog: "As Muslim families across America and around the world celebrate the beginning of Ramadan, Jill and I want to extend our best wishes to all who are observing this holy month," he writes.
"Americans of all backgrounds have come to respect the discipline and values of Ramadan. We have stood in awe of athletes like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Ibtihaj Muhammad as they abstained from food and drink during the heat of competition. We have seen Muslims give generously to strengthen our communities and lift up the most marginalized among us. Above all, we have felt the sense of unity, joy, and deep reflection that this month creates for our Muslim friends and neighbors."

Babylon Bee couldn't of come up a with a funnier line.
“No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”
Dear moslems. In the spirit of this holiest of holy days, turn to your neighbor and disembowel him or her. And then turn the blade upon yourself. Do this until every single adherent of the prophet is no more and the earth is cleansed of Islam. The great and merciful Allah commands it.
Happy Ramadan.
Does islam become a religion of peace before or after ramadan?
Islam is a war plan.
It’s like saying let’s have a KayKayKay month- stupid.
LOL
It’s gotta be tough saying words you don’t mean.
Like “i love you” and “i’ll respect you in the morning” :)
He’s the POTUS Had to say something I guess.

My message: stop slicing necks, raping, killing, burning things, get a job, stop the horrible screeching from your loudspeakers, change the flea-infested tents, cut your beards, stop hating us and Israel, and maybe you’ll be nice people to have around.
HISTORY101: muzzoidism is a satanic death cult.
Trump’s statement will cost him a lot of respect and possibly votes. I don’t get it.
With the virus this year, I’ll probably have to forego my usual Ramadan ham dinner.
My Ramadan message: I wanted to take this opportunity to warmly extend my greetings to all who worship that dead guy who rotted away in the desert. To all who ascribe to Satan’s desires for evil, violence, slavery, abusing women and backwards thinking and wish you a very happy Ramadan and pray that someday you will change your ways.
