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 worlds major religions," Obama said in a statement.
"During Hajj, the worlds 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 Abrahams 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."

You have to be kidding!!! This is no JOKE??? HE is giving Thanksgiving the thumbs down??????? WAKE UP AMERICA!!! WAKE UP!!! How do we start impeachment hearings???
I guess one could look at the White House website for confirmation, if one dares.
Islam has no basis in anything that Abraham belived about his God, and to further re-state the obvious, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has no part in the god of Islam.
Well, it is the Boston Globe, so belief is a matter of choice.
I second that prediction.
LOL, tell me how you really feel.
This is meant literally.
Taqqiya!!
LOL, I love Free Republic.
That, and the line about “shared Abrahamic roots.”
NO!
Oh there’s more in my anger well, but I will go drink some calming tea or vodka :)
Perfect timing for a nuke.
This is TREASON. He should be impeached then put before a military tribunal and given the normal punishment for treason during wartime. Just think if we had a conservative President right now....all of those muzzies gathering at mecca. One good missle and most of our problems would be over - what’s the rest of the world gonna do? A bunch of hand wringing, etc. while most of them secretly applaud our actions.
311 days of treason and counting...
In reference to nouns;DITTO!!!
