WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is sending best wishes to Muslims worldwide as they celebrate Eid-al-Fitr (ayd ahl-FIH’-tur), which marks the end of the holy month of fasting and prayer known as Ramadan (RAH’-mah-dahn).
Obama also appealed for donations for victims of devastating floods in Pakistan.
This year’s holiday falls on Saturday’s 9/11 anniversary during a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S. over plans for a mosque and Islamic cultural center near ground zero. A Florida pastor also is threatening to burn copies of the Muslim holy book on Saturday.
Obama said the Muslim holiday is a time to reflect on the importance of religious tolerance and to honor the positive role all religions have played in American life.

More BS incitement from the lamestream Obama media..(eye roll)! This kind of crap makes me sick. If we get attacked on saturday(911), the fault can be laid squarely on the shoulders of the media, Obama and of course the barbarian Islamists.
