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 world’s major religions," Obama said in a statement.
"During Hajj, the world’s 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 Abraham’s 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."

Americans are still in snooze mode....
Glad to see his idea of diversity is Muslims only.
Seven Days In May...
Diverse, gee and all this time I thought they were all Muslims?
Three more years of this nonsense...
Tell me this is satire.
Speak for yourself you Muslim lovin' a$$wipe!
They are after all one of his bigger constituency groups.
Exactly. And the White House needs to get calls on the comment line in this regard. His Liver Lips don’t speak for me.
Did this country forget what happened on 9/11?
I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to Obama’s heartfelt and moving Christmas eve speech, wherein he honors the foundational contributions of Christianity and its worldview to the founding of the United States, and our great tradition of liberty.
In fact, I expect him to declare December 25 to be National American Christian Heritage Day.
Actually, I don’t expect Obama to acknowledge Christmas at all, except perhaps maybe in passing, in the most perfunctory way possible (probably as third on a list of other “holidays” beginning with Kwanzaa).
P.S. I am not a Christian (having been born and raised Jewish, although I no longer practice Judaism).

They are all muzzies. Infidels are not allowed in Mecca. So take that diversity with a grain of salt.
and will be in snooze mode until we become slaves in a Marxist country ( which I give it 2 /3 years tops)

“On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak.”
Unless a rocket is attached with that message I don’t want him saying anything on behalf of me. FUBO.
Diversity the Mooslim way. Tall Muslims, Short Muslims, Fat Muslims, Thin Muslims, and the Muslim Chattle (wives and daughters).
i can’t post what I’m thinking or I’d be banned...
He did it last year too.
