President Obama released videotaped Ramadan wishes Friday, sending "best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world" and wishing them "Ramadan Kareem" on "behalf of the American people, including Muslim communities in all 50 states."

The president makes sure to mention "my own Christian faith" and the values shared by Islam and Christianity when it comes to service, even as he speaks of Muslim ceremonies he knows well.
He also recapitulates his basic foreign policy positions involving Muslim nations. "We're also committed to keeping our responsibility to build a world that is more peaceful and secure. That's why we're responsibly ending the war in Iraq," he says, adding, "That is why we strongly and actively support a two-state solution that recognizes the rights of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. That is also why America will always stand for the universal rights of all people."
"I want to reiterate my commitment to a new beginning between America and Muslims around the world," he continues, emphasizing his Cairo message of seeking common ground and that "an important part of this is listening."

The president lays out collaborations with international health authorities to eradicate polio in Muslim-majority nations, and to mitigate H1N1 flu transmission risks during the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca by devout Muslims which this year will fall at the end of November.
"May God's peace be upon you," he concludes.
Translations of his Ramadan message are provided on the White House Web site in Arabic, Bengali, Dari, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish and Urdu.

Happy Rama-lama-ding-dong to ya’ll muzzies!......................
Beats the devil out of me. :)
kareem means generous or bountiful hence a bountiful ramadan
a traditional MUSLIM greeting
be happy that the One didn’t greet Christians with ‘Ego Eimi’
I’m guessing he just forgot to mention the part
about Polio vaccine being made from Pig testicles eh?
Hey Mohammed, it’s not called SWINE flu for nothing,
that will probably have to be made from PIGS too!
There is a Three Stooges joke in that line somewhere!
So that’s why he took his vacation now...
Did he record it in his perfect arabic?
Vacationing in a secluded place so that his press doesn’t see him on his prayer rug.
**There are NO values shared by Islam and Christianity.**
Christianity is a RELIGION...
ISLAM is a CULT!!!! as it has more in common with the WESTBORO BAPTIST CULT than any religion that I know of.
-PJ
One of the mullahs has forbidden (fatwah) moslems to fall ill with the swine flu. I read it at one of the ask an imam sites, lol.
“Islams role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”
Puhhhhhleeeeese. Spare me.
**so that his press doesnt see him on his prayer rug.**
Press HIDES NOBAMMY’s Smoking, absolutely they’d HIDE his Prayer Rug.
Remember the same Press Hid FDR’s Wheelchair and hid JFK’s severe back problems.
and of course the same press screamed Recession/Depression coming when GWB’s economy kept going UP.. which of course did pretty good, until the DEMS took over in 2006.. that’s when gas went to $4.00/gal, etc
To be politically correct, shouldn't he just have said "Happy Holidays"?
**Islams role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance,**
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Tolerance = 9/11
I am openly asking if there are any Muslim charities that help other than Muslims. Does anyone know? I know of Christian and Jewish charities that help all of any faith. I know specifically of some Israeli Jewish charities that help only Muslims.
Does anyone know of a Muslim charity that offers any assistance to a nonbeliever? There could be and I'd like to know.
**shouldn’t he just have said “Happy Holidays”?**
No.. he should have said “SEASON’S GREETINGS”
but of course I should have known ....sorry for being so PC ignorant
