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!"

I wonder if Cruz would do the same......I would hope Walker wouldn’t but things have been so out of wack in the US that I would imagine even Trump would do this. Would be interesting to ask all of them in a debate just to see what they would say. Of course they are more interested in knowing their favorite color.
There is no way this is a gaffe. Too many coincidences. He did that on purpose because he is utterly evil.
Obama, though he has arms and legs like pencils, is a left wing, Marxiist "strongman" running bareback mountain over "congress" and the black robed lawyers
Obama was very busy yesterday, first going on TV with that BS look on his face, pretending to give a damn about four dead marines, then he went back to the Oval Office and high fived Valerie Jarrett..to him this was a good week for Ramadan, the killing of marines is something they always see as a win
I will not say what I am thinking.
I hope and pray that when the next guy to occupy OUR house, all this bowing and capitulating to the muzzles WILL END. After eight long years of this cr*p, the White House to be fumigated and rid of all things muzzle.
FUBOYSMB!
Those three can be summarized as “Destroy Western Civilization”.
And that indeed is his goal.
What a disgrace.
Today I'll add, What an absolute disgrace.
That's a lot of destruction on deck.
My only hope is that there are enough true Patriots in the beltway area that are watching and monitoring his every move and preparing a coup if it becomes absolutely necessary. Nothing I certainly want, but to Save the Republic. . I can't believe things have come to this in my lifetime where I would even think of writing this.
Pray for America and prepare.
True. If only men voted there would be no Obama plus politicians would speak more directly. Would not be so busy shading things in soft pastels to get the female vote
“I can’t believe things have come to this in my lifetime where I would even think of writing this. Pray for America and prepare.”
I can’t either, Art. It’s BEYOND imagining. SO much destruction in 7, going on 8 short years! And the B@stard STILL has MONTHS to go; I fear we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
NONE of the LibTards I deal with each and every day are the LEAST bit apologetic in terms of our DESTRUCTION as a Nation! Grrrrrr!
Exactly.
! Good One !
