Obama greets muslim pilgrims
Boston Globe ^ | 11/25/09 | Foon Rhee

Posted on 11/25/2009 2:36:06 PM PST by La Enchiladita

President Obama continued his outreach to the world's Muslims today, sending greetings to pilgrims to Mecca.

....

"Michelle and I would like to send our best wishes to all those performing Hajj this year, and to Muslims in America and around the world who are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha. The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions," Obama said in a statement.

"During Hajj, the world’s largest and most diverse gathering, three million Muslims from all walks of life – including thousands of American Muslims – will stand in prayer on Mount Arafat. The following day, Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha and distribute food to the less fortunate to commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son out of obedience to God," the president added in the statement, translated on the White House website into Arabic, Persian, Dari, Urdu, Pashto, Russian, and French.

....

"On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak."

I guess one could look at the White House website for confirmation, if one dares.

Islam has no basis in anything that Abraham belived about his God, and to further re-state the obvious, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has no part in the god of Islam.

Tell me this is satire.

Well, it is the Boston Globe, so belief is a matter of choice.

I predict that he won’t even use the word Christmas unless it is included in a sentence with a long list of other religious holidays.

I second that prediction.

Eid is the festival of the slaughter of the lamb.

This is meant literally.

This is TREASON. He should be impeached then put before a military tribunal and given the normal punishment for treason during wartime. Just think if we had a conservative President right now....all of those muzzies gathering at mecca. One good missle and most of our problems would be over - what’s the rest of the world gonna do? A bunch of hand wringing, etc. while most of them secretly applaud our actions.
