United States President Barack Obama has extended his best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world and announced that he will host a fast-breaking dinner at the White House this week.
“I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world – and your families and friends – as you welcome the beginning of Ramadan,” Obama said in an official statement issued by the US State Department.
“Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America.”
The White House, he said, would host fast breaking dinner.
“I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

Of course, if he threw a Hanukkah or Christmas dinner, the ACLU and jourbalists would be all up in arms, but on this, total silence. Hmmmmmmm...

I predicted this when President Obama completely ignored our National Day of Prayer in order to appear “non discriminatory”. I wonder if anyone in the media will remember that.
The man is poison.

Maybe he means the Barbary pirates that attacked our brand-new Merchant Marine and Navy shortly after our independence from Britain.

He may as well drop all pretense and put one in the Oval Office, not that he’s ever there.
