On behalf of the American people – including Muslim communities in all fifty states – I want to extend best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.
...
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.
...
Beyond America’s borders, we are also committed to keeping our responsibility to build a world that is more peaceful and secure. That is why we are responsibly ending the war in Iraq. That is why we are isolating violent extremists while empowering the people in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. That is why we are unyielding in our support for a two-state solution that recognizes the rights of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security. And that is why America will always stand for the universal rights of all people to speak their mind, practice their religion, contribute fully to society and have confidence in the rule of law.

As I said in Cairo, this new beginning must be borne out in a sustained effort to listen to each other, to learn from each other, to respect one another, and to seek common ground. I believe an important part of this is listening, and in the last two months, American embassies around the world have reached out not just to governments, but directly to people in Muslim-majority countries. From around the world, we have received an outpouring of feedback about how America can be a partner on behalf of peoples’ aspirations.

“Islam?s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings”
ROFLMAO!!!
Makes you wonder if Christmas will e cancelled this year.
On behalf of the American people: FU Obama!
Well it’s a good thing I have duct tape handy to wrap around my head to keep it from exploding........oh, wait........blood shooting from eyes,,,,,,rut ro........grab the tape, quick..........
obama can’t be a true muslim because he thinks that *he* is the true master of the universe...with mohammad as his prophet.
I can hardly wait until Christmas.
I recall that Obama refused to show up for the National Day of Prayer.
“On behalf of the American people . . . “
How arrogant, again, of obama to believe that he speaks on behalf of the American people to the Muslim world.
Like, oh yeah, I was just thinking I wanted to wish a happy Ramadan to muslims around the world.
Wonder if he'll do the same for Advent or Lent? I don't think so! He hasn't even chosen a church yet. Apparently the mosque is a fur piece from the WH!
Thats because Christians are so intolerant and violent.
