Obama greets muslim pilgrims
Boston Globe ^ | 11/25/09 | Foon Rhee

Posted on 11/25/2009 2:36:06 PM PST by La Enchiladita

President Obama continued his outreach to the world's Muslims today, sending greetings to pilgrims to 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," Obama said in a statement.

"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," the president added in the statement, translated on the White House website into Arabic, Persian, Dari, Urdu, Pashto, Russian, and French.

....

"On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak."

Isn't it required that he do it at least once in his lifetime?

He'll do it as part of his "Jimmy Carter, former president now professional troublemaker" act.

So, what is it going to take, I wonder, to wake up the dopes that voted this TRAITOR in?

Another 9/11? Nah. That’ll fall on the next Republican’s watch...COUNT on it!!

Grrrrrrrr! You know, it’s getting to the point where ‘growling’ isn’t satisfying enough. I think I need to start biting legs, LOL!

U.S. presidents have been issuing that haj greetings for decades, so it barely qualifies as news.

Yeah, but the Kenyan actually means it.

Equating Islam with Judaism and Christianity is grounds for jihad, but since Zero's a Moslem, the Muzzies know this is just part of the plan for takeover.

Will be even MORE interesting to hear his Hanukkah greetings, all things considered.

I believe the point is that Obambi ignores most things Christian, but doesn’t miss a Muslim “shout out”. He was too busy for the National Prayer Breakfast with Christian leaders, but made time for a Rammadan prayer with Muslims.

Uhhhh... hooooow?

I’m not aware of animal sacrifice being a central part of Christmas or Hanukkah. Except in the most flimsiest of arguments (eating a feast is different than sacrificing an animal to God).

Non-muslims are banned from mecca.

This is NOT the case at the Vatican. Even Non-Catholics are allowed to visit the Vatican any time they wish.

I shudder to think of what would happen to a Christian found infiltrating the mosque in mecca.

As a matter of fact, one of bin laden’s reasons for the attack on 9/11 was the mere presence of Americans on saudi arabian soil!

Before the Grammar Police attack, I have a practice of only capitalizing proper nouns that I respect.
