Statement by the President on the Occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr
WhiteHouse.gov ^

Posted on 07/16/2015 9:17:19 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. As Muslims mark the end of the month, they are reminded that Ramadan is a time to reflect spiritually, build communally, and aid those in need. While Eid marks the end of Ramadan, it marks a new beginning for each individual – a reason to celebrate and express gratitude on this holiday.

For millions of Muslims, the morning of Eid is marked with the call to prayer echoing through cities and towns across the globe. Millions of people head to local mosques for special Eid prayers followed by festive gatherings, gift exchanges, and feasts among friends, neighbors and families. The diversity of traditions paint the vibrant images we see from around the world capturing the spirit and excitement of Eid – colorful dresses or white garments decorating the masses of people standing in lines for prayer, lanterns and ornaments lighting up bazaars and neighborhoods, intricate henna designs painted on hands of young girls and women, and an abundance of delectable foods and aromatic cuisines.

Funny, he wasn’t nearly as effusive on the Jewish holiday...

He sure can blather on about the sweetest sound eh.

He sure knows a lot about Islam for a Christian, as he represents himself to be. Out of curiosity, does he also give these sort of informational press releases for some of the less-common Christian holidays (e.g. Pentecost, Palm Sunday, etc) or, for holy days of other religions to which he doesn’t officially subscribe - just like he theoretically doesn’t subscribe to Islam? Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Shinto, etc? Or do press releases like these only come on relatively obscure Islamic days?

Good point. What timing. With Christians he uses the opportunity of an observance to slam them. What a difference.

It would be like honoring the confederacy and all its ongoing traditions after that mass murder at the black church.

Sure, wax poetic about Islam while four Marines are dead?? Why bother fighting ISIS there? They are here and most welcomed by the President.

“For millions of Muslims, the morning of Eid is marked with the call to prayer echoing through cities and towns across the globe.”

And, for many others, it is marked by the sounds of gunfire, screaming, and explosions.

Laughing? A more appropriate adjective would be mocking, or maybe abusing, defecating or flipping the finger with two hands. I am being kind....

“... and aid those in need...” of a clitorectomy or a murder.

Barry’s people mutilate women and murder our Marines.

Write to your congresscritters. Tell them to build their bunkers quickly.

Now we know why the Chattanooga massacre was today. Had to be before the end of ramadamadingdong, that time, for mohammadens, of reflection and slaughter.

Barky grew up in Muslim Indonesia.

He’s giving a shout out to his fellow jihadists.

Sickening. Offensive as hell. Hope there’s a special place for him there. And all his murderous muzzie friends.

Looks like you and Barky are of one mind on the Confederacy thing.

This crap on another thread about military being told to remove identifying military insignia from houses and cars has me sick.
