The White House Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release

Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan

On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I want to extend our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims around the world reflect upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings have to one another, and to God. This is a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and meals are shared. But Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection – a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities.

These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings. 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 and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country. And today, 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.

I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month. May God’s peace be upon you.

Hey 0bama: Go BACK to Hell where you belong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Stormdog]

I’ll be waiting to see if we’ll get such a flattering and supportive proclaimation from the Regime at the start of the Jewish High Holy Days.

[historyrepeatz]

If only he could show such support for the Boy Scouts OF AMERICA.

“And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”

Liar! But then, Mrs. Hussein-obama said we must change our history.

Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings

Ummm...is there another kind of Islam out there that he's talking about? I would like for him to point to even one Islamic country in the entire world that does or ever has done any of those things. A big stinkin' bunch of rhetoric is ALL this is and he must think Americans have a very short memory or are all as stupid as he thinks we are.

There is a huge significance in building this mosque on this particular site and it is purely to recruit more radicals to the cause of defeating America. Obama knows this and his words prove he approves of this goal as well!

[celtic gal]

And last year they wanted a non religious Christmas at the WH and did all they could to keep the creche out until there was such an uproar it was put out on display.

[celtic gal]

Muslims contributed nothing to the founding of this nation. They are interlopers now and I wish they would just go away.The Islamic domination cannot take root here but with this fraud in the WH who subscribes to the the Islamic practice of lying to get the goals of Islam in place.

[pillut48]

Yeah, OTPbama had similar wonderful words to say about Christianity on the National Day of Prayer and at Easter too, didn’t he? Right?? Beuller?? Anyone??????

[Yaelle]

Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.

Oh yeah??? Because when I think of that faith, diversity does NOT come to mind. I think of a faith that allows people of differing faiths to be KILLED because they don't believe.

What? Oh, you mean Muslims might have different colors of skin only? "Diversity" means skin color? Ohhh, because Jews and Christians all have exactly the same amount of melanin and only Muslims have different shades of beige and brown??

[nikos1121]

Nothing similar during Easter or Hannekhah, only generic toats. Her Ramadan is from the heart.

Phuck this guy and the horse he road in on...

[paulycy]

"when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere.

For all of us must remember that the world we want to build – and the changes that we want to make – must begin in our own hearts, and our own communities."

He has outed himself as a muslim community organizer.

[a real Sheila]

He hosts Ramadan but cancelled national day of prayer at the WH.

THE MAN IS A MUSLIM!

I will go to my grave believing it!
