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.

This dark entity in our oo makes my skin crawl. Truly, it does.
Shit is bout to hit the fan and you can bet we here are read
Nothing was going to prevent Hussein from dispensing this annual tongue bath of our enemies.
...”the Chattanooga massacre was today. Had to be before the end of ramadamadingdong”...
That’s because they believe/taught that if they kill infidels during Ramada they are ‘rewarded double’ in Paradise.
My main message right now is, obviously, the deepest sympathies of the American people to the four Marines that have been killed. It is a heartbreaking circumstance for these individuals who have served our country with great valor to be killed in this fashion.
Once again Obama adds "obviously" to a supposed condolence statement. "Obviously", as in "this is perfunctory", "I pretty much have to say this stuff".
What an A-hole.
...intricate henna designs painted on hands of young girls and women...
Barkie is confused about henna painting being muslim. It’s been used for thousands of years by everyone in the region.

This country is gone. What are we going to do next?
Wow, he is only all excited and moved by the Muslim holidays and gives the Christian and Jewish ones brief mention.
On Muslim holidays, he gets into all the colorful traditions in full detail and doesn’t mention any other religions. On Jewish and Christian holy days, he always makes a huge point to mention ALL the religions and never describes ANYTHING meaningful or traditional or colorful about that holy day itself.
Here is his joint Easter / Passover message for 2015. (From the whitehouse.gov site)
“Whether we’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, or Buddhist; whether faith in God shapes our daily lives completely or not at all, we believe that with common effort, and shared sacrifice, a brighter future is just around the bend,” the President said. “And we embrace our obligation to do something meaningful, something lasting, with the precious time we’ve been allotted on this Earth.”
The President also encouraged all Americans to “pause and give thanks for the chance to live in a country where everyone has the right to worship and pray and love as they choose.”
If we had a real media they MIGHT bring up this extraordinarily biased slant.

Barky? I am not sure what you are talking about.
My comment was not about me having an opinion on the confederate flag on way or another. I was commenting on the inappropriate timing.
My apology for misreading your post.
