Forget Thanksgiving, Today Is New American Holiday!
President Honors Fore-Fathers

President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are celebrating Eid al-Adna in the White House.
The Muslim holiday which takes place today celebrates Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael to Allah.
This year, Eid al-Adna represents the high tide of the hajj - - the annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca, a journey which must be made at least once in the lifetime of every Muslim believer.
The President’s Grandmother Sarah is presently in the holy city and making her three trips around the Kaaba.
To proclaim his belief that America is no longer a Judeo-Christian nation, President Obama sent this official greeting to the Muslims in 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.
“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.
