Obama Wishes Muslims Happy Ramadan on Day of Tennessee Shooting

As authorities investigate a deadly attack in Tennessee as a potential case of terrorism, which occurred on the heels of several attacks across the globe in recent weeks, President Barack Obama issued a statement Thursday wishing Muslims a happy Ramadan.

The Muslim holy month ends Friday.

[....]

It's not clear what time Thursday the aforementioned White House statement was released, but Obama wished Muslims in the United States and across the world "joy" as Ramadan comes to a close.

"Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr," the statement reads. "As Muslims mark the end of the month, they are reminded that Ramadan is a time to reflect spiritually, build communally, and aid those in need. While Eid marks the end of Ramadan, it marks a new beginning for each individual — a reason to celebrate and express gratitude on this holiday."

Obama also uses the opportunity to ask Americans to respect people of all faiths.

"As Muslim Americans celebrate Eid across America, the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs," the statement reads. "This past year New York City Public Schools announced adding Eid to their official school calendars alongside Christmas, Hanukkah and other holidays — an acknowledgement of the great diversity and inclusiveness that adds to the richness of our nation."

The statement closes by saying, "Michelle and I hope today brings joy to all of your homes, both here in the U.S. and around the world. From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak!"

You can either rent or own a home and still not be for Obama.

Let’s not forget about opening the military to trannies, but not letting anyone on a US base carry a weapon.

Good afternoon.

When I look at the world in general, I do threat assessments every now and then. Here are some of my findings...

Jews don't want to kill me.

Hindus don't want to kill me.

Taoist don't want to kill me.

Sikhs don't want to kill me.

Buddhist don't want to kill me.

Rastafarians don't want to kill me.

I see a pattern here...

Um...I’m not campaigning to reverse it. I’ve not always been a property owner.

I’m just curious to see what a different world we’d be living in today if we’d kept God-Fearing, Christian, Conservative men in charge. You know, those, ‘English Terrorists’ that thought up our Constitution, risked their own lives and all that? ;)

I know I’d have given up a lot of accomplishments in my lifetime, but I’ll bet you a doughnut that we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in these days with a freakin’ ENEMY of America in the White House.

And we could’ve avoided Carter and Clinton, too, in my lifetime.

Soccer Moms. How freakin’ CUTE! *SPIT*

I never thought this was how America would be destroyed.

It is mind-boggling.

We can hate Obama all we want, and I do, but if W or Romney or McCain had been elected president they’d be doing the same thing.

He said that he would stand with them if the winds blew against them. I wonder if there is similar phrasing in the Koran? That phrase sounds Koran-ish.

[ “Obama is what you get when you let non property owners vote.”

You are SO CORRECT, my FRiend! I’ve been screeching about that for years.

Stupid women voters, too. I mean, seriously. Unless you OWN land/property and have skin in the game, you don’t get to vote. ]

As a Woman who is a property owner I agree 1000% with you!

Property should mean either actual land or an actual business.

I’ve wondered if Hussein himself even really, personally supports sodomy. he seemed to have his “change of heart” after he got elected. I have wondered, in light of all his fundamental transformation of the West (the US) and his support of Islam no matter how the winds blow, to paraphrase him, if he just wants to push this evil on a western nation in order to destroy the West. He hasn’t pushed it that hard in African nations, and he certainly hasn’t made his points in support of it by using Islam or Muslims.

Thank you! I knew there were reasonable women here that understood what I was getting at.

We’d be living much different/richer/better lives had we stuck to The Constitution from the git-go. Those men were simply geniuses.

EVERYTHING wrong with our country today can be traced back to the ‘tinkering’ with our Constitution by the Socialists.

It’s maddening!

Omaba is celebrating with his Islamic brothers in the Jihadist faith while four American soldiers are murdered in Tennessee by an Islamic terrorist. What a outrageous and humiliating spectacle!

Obama has never condemned publicly the genocide of Christians by Muslim all around Africa and the Middle East, a silence that makes him accomplice of those massive religious slaughter of children, women for they did not submit to Islam.

Meanwhile, the process of Islamization of U.S. continue advancing under the Barack Hussein Obama’s policy of open doors for Muslim while closing the entrance of U.S. of Christians victims of Islamic brutal repression.

History repeats itself... Remember when another Democratic president, F.D. Roosevelt, closed the doors of U.S. to the Jews fleeing Nazi occupied Europe.

"Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr,"

Due to Islam, America lost four Marines on the 16th of this month...Due to Islam, Benghazi wafu, due to Islam, Christians are losing their heads, I dare say that due to Islam 4 Americans are languishing in an Iranian jail. Due to his color, Obama jumped into the unlawful mess in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, MD, made phone calls to congratulate gay men and athletes for coming out....NEVER A MENTION TO THE FAMILY OF KATE STEINLE or those killed in Chattanooga,TN.

The color of ones skin clearly is of the utmost concern to the Obamas...and the sexual preference of gays and athletes. Africans. Obama was raised a Muslim for the first 10 years of his life; Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, has Islamic leanings if not a Muslim herself....she is being investigated for Communist deals and is the closest adviser to Obama.

Americans this piece of trash should be impeached forthwith....there aren't any men in congress or the senate with enough cojonies between them to castrate a calf.
