Yeah. Christianity, Judaism and Islam are morally equivalent.

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."

On behalf of the American people,you don’t speak for me!
On behalf of the American people we wish all our muslim fiends a MERRY CHRISTMAS! There now I feel better.
“Diversity the Mooslim way. Tall Muslims, Short Muslims, Fat Muslims, Thin Muslims, and the Muslim Chattle (wives and daughters).” You forgot the sheep and goats and anything else they have sex with.
“On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak.”
“Oh, and don’t forget to shop at BestBuy on Black Friday!”
Point taken.
How about the Thanksgiving pilgrims, and their giving thanks to God for His blessings?
Unless his idea of a greeting includes the delivery of a critical mass of fissionable material, he can stop speaking for me. That's the only type of greeting I'm interested in extending to them.
Yeah. Christianity, Judaism and Islam are morally equivalent.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, waaaaay out line there Rawhide! Obama has to set priorities, ya' know. Thanking God for blessings is lower on the priority list than reinforcements for our troops. Sooo, you can expect a mild reference to the Thanksgiving holiday in March sometime.
I agree... he should. Isn't it required that he do it at least once in his lifetime?
Hah! Want to bet we get to hear all about the presents he bought the daughters, Michelle, Rahm, the SEIU, ACORN, the GM and Chrysler unions, etc.?
I can't wait to hear his State of the Union speech. It's going to be all about how could save the world - if only he could rid the world of those evil conservatives.
How wonderful. He forgot to mention the headchoppings that they perform. The hangings. The persecution of Christians and Jews. Their vicious violent hatred of anyone who doesn’t belong to their cult.
I extend my middle finger as a suitable greeting. I am so full of disgust. He’s such a skin pistol.
YES!!!
You know what else is scary? 18 year old voters were only 8 or 9 at the time! They probably don’t even remember the buildings collapsing.
“Seven Days in May...”
—
I’m to the point where I’m almost praying for Seven Days in May - even if it’s Burt Lancaster. We can’t take any more.
I predict that he won’t even use the word Christmas unless it is included in a sentence with a long list of other religious holidays.
U.S. presidents have been issuing that haj greetings for decades, so it barely qualifies as news.
Note my tagline...
dont start ..he’ll be doing it on our dime
