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

Your son is liberties son. May God protect him.
So this IS a fake story??
It’s just not normal for a Wright follower to be this absorbed with muslims. He’s all into Islam. Screw America’s Christian values.
Nope. he even gave them swine flu vaccine when we don’t have enough for ourselves.

Hajj reminder of Abrahamic roots of 3 religions: ObamaObama sends Hajj, Eid greetings to Muslims
U.S. President Barack Obama greeted the world Muslims with Hajj and Eid al-Adha
WASHINGTON (AFP)
President Barack Obama sent greetings early Thursday on behalf of the United States to pilgrims performing the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia and to Muslims worldwide celebrating the Eid al-Adha holiday.
“The rituals of Hajj and Eid al-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions,” read a White House statement.
“On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season — Eid Mubarak,” Obama said, using a traditional Muslim greeting.
A sea of pilgrims from around the world, dressed in white robes and towels, began the five-day Hajj late on Tuesday and early on Wednesday, circling the Kaaba shrine inside Mecca’s Grand Mosque.
Few people appeared concerned over the main threat to the hajj, swine flu, despite the news that four pilgrims had died from the disease before the rites officially began.
Obama said in the statement that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services partnered this year with the Saudi Health Ministry “to prevent and limit the spread of H1N1” during the Hajj.
“Cooperating on combating H1N1 is one of the ways we are implementing my administration’s commitment to partnership in areas of mutual interest,” the president said.
Swine flu has killed some 6,750 people around the world this year, the World Health Organization said on Friday, and Saudi authorities have deployed as many as 20,000 health workers.
Eid al-Adha is the holiday that marks the end of the Hajj.
Thank you for the video link. Inspiring.

Would someone please authoritatively answer: IS THIS REAL? I certainly don’t doubt that it is, but want to know if it indeed is.
No, this is NOT a fake story. obama’s grandmother made the hajj this year.

YES, THIS IS REAL!!!!
Unless it’s referring to this:
“Obama issues special Hajj message to world’s Muslims.”
I was shocked at the price of pork when shopping. It is around #2-#2.50 a lb. Anyone with freezer should stock up as that is less than hamburger. Iowa Granny suggests that it is because the pork producers are hurting with many of thel younger ones about to lose their land and their herds. Many ignoramuses (probably Democrats) seem to think that swine fue comes from pigs so they are not buying it. I could have bought a nice little — already seasoned — pork loin for #3.49 on Wed. at the Piggly Wiggly. No kidding!
And yes, we invited the dog too. He was underfoot all day and had his share of goodies.
Sorry — wrong thread.
By the way, remember during the campaign, when on George Stephanopoulos’ Sunday morning show (I forget which show it is), Obama referred to “my Muslim faith,” and Stephy kindly corrected him, saying something like “you mean your Christian faith,” which of course, Obama gladly agreed to.
“Gee did the Obama’s sacrifice a goat to celebrate this holiday as is the tradition of Muslims around the world??”
No, just the sovereignty of the United States.

'Hack
Diversity is something that is not recognized by Islam. You’re either a muzzie or you are not. If you’re not, you’re a dhimmi, a second class citizen. The left is made up of a bunch of useful idiots.
If Obama is elected to a second term (by some misfortune), then look for more and more hints to come out about his Muslim faith. Either late in his second term (or perhaps in a memoir published within 2 years of his leaving office), look for an outright admission that he was and always has been a Muslim.
I remember zer0 saying something about “lipstick on a pig”
He might have inside info on that one
Excellent point.
Logic does not factor into the equation with the left. They are primarily motivated by a hatred of the true God.
Once everyone figure that out, and views their actions and words from that premise, it all makes sense.
