On Thanksgiving eve, Obama issues special Hajj message to world's Muslims

Los Angeles Times ^ | November 25, 2009

[Zakeet]

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.

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.

This year, I am pleased that the Department of Health and Human Services has partnered with the Saudi Health Ministry to prevent and limit the spread of H1N1 during Hajj. Cooperating on combating H1N1 is one of the ways we are implementing my administration's commitment to partnership in areas of mutual interest.

On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak.

He pardoned a Turkey, though.

He definitely did that.

(Pandering to PETA, eh?)

[FES0844]

Trying to remember....did he do this on the National Day of Prayer also?

[combat_boots]

This is a joke, right? On Thanksgiving?

[ronnie raygun]

On behalf of the American people, you don’t speak for us!

On behalf of the American people we wish all at the Hajj
a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Bluebird Singing]

“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.”

What an arrogant idiot obama is. That’s his “reality”, not ours.

"On behalf of the American people, we would like to extend our greetings during this Hajj season"

You DO NOT speak for me!

[Tarpon]

The downfall of the arrogant is their arrogance ...

[combat_boots]

0bama is a muslim. There is no other logical conclusion tbat can be derived from his behavior this past year. And our military men and women, as well as our people, are the worse for it. People are dying.

“I have been to all 57 states. One more to go.”

[CalvaryJohn]

Can there still be any doubt where this scum’s loyalties lie?

[StandUpChuck]

America wishes you a happy Hajj and may all your jihads be merry!

[Past Your Eyes]

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

The New Yorker mag cover hit the nail on the head didn’t it?

[Diogenesis]

Exactly. As did this cover.

So, that is where the H1N1 vaccines went?!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Allah is not the God of Abraham. Islam does not have Abrahamic roots.

[onemiddleamerican]

Somebody help me out here, please...

Did Obama issue a SpecialThank You Message to The Troops ??

Did I miss it?

[allmendream]

Well they ARE famous for hijacking. ;)

[Venturer]

No doubt in my mind where Obama’s religious sympathies lie.

Almost a year since he was sen in a Christian Church.

Now dont get me wrong ,I think that is fine. He doesn’t belong in a Christian Church anyway.

Almost a year since he was seen in a Christian Church.

It really makes one want to puke!!! Thanks to the majority of ignorant American voters, we’ve allowed our country to be high-jacked by a bunch of Chi-town Marxist thugs.

LOL! That’s a keeper. :)

During Hajj, the world’s largest and most diverse gathering

??!

[seemoAR]

I wonder how long FDR would have lasted if he had sent such a message to Hitler. ;0)

[RU88]

Heard that his Kenyan granny, who by the way just had electricity run to her hut, was invited to the Hajj by none other than King Abdullah himself! (suppose that “bow” was worth something any how) This muzzie usurper speaks for fewer and fewer Americans each day. It would seem that he himself believes that he will only be a one term president and has committed himself to doing the greatest harm possible to this fine nation in his alloted time frame. The only group he hasn't lost yet are blacks. Short of that he's dropping like a rock but just does not care. He's got an appetite for destruction.

[Movemout]

Mount Arafat???

[grey_whiskers]

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 next day they will return to their regularly scheduled tasks of distributing beheadings, bullets, and explosions to the INFIDELS!

How's that pardon for Maj. Hasan working out, bro?

No cheers, unfortunately.

[primatreat]

“Trying to remember....did he do this on the National Day of Prayer also?”

Of course, He chanted the lord’s prayer from the National Cathedral . It was not covered by Fox and Friends so I did not have the opportunity to puke up my breakfast of Bacon and eggs fried in Lard with a side dish of “skins” washed down by a quart of lumpy “buttermilk”.

[Red in Blue PA]

Obama issues special message to these people!

[MarkL]

I think that Obama's said far more to the world's muslims by his "dithering" on Afghanistan, HIS decision to try the murderous terrorists in civilian courts (giving them the world stage), his earlier statements, and of course, his supplicant bow to the saudi leader.

“Almost a year since he was sen in a Christian Church”

Actually, there was a thread here a couple of months ago that said that he has attended a small chapel that apparently is on the grounds at Camp David.

Mercifully, the military pastor of that chapel is a CONSERVATIVE Christian. The previous thread included some comments that we should all pray that our Lord of miracles somehow touch O’s evil heart.

Anything is possible.

[ilovesarah2012]

How dare he speak on behalf of the America people! I wish we could drop a nuke in the middle of Mecca!

[theBuckwheat]

No mention of the special message that Muslims are obligated to give to those in dar al-harb’ (the land of war): convert, submit or die.

I send holiday greetings to all Muslims celebrating Eid al-Adha.

During Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world reflect on Abraham’s unwavering faith and his trust in God when asked to sacrifice his son. These four days are a time for Muslims to honor Abraham’s obedience by celebrating with family and friends and showing gratitude for the many blessings bestowed by God. This holiday also helps ensure the important values of compassion and devotion are passed on to future generations.

America is a land of many beliefs, and our society is enriched by our Muslim citizens. The kindness, generosity, and goodwill displayed by American Muslims during this special occasion and throughout the year have contributed to the strength and vitality of our Nation. May all those observing Eid al-Adha find love and warmth during this joyous holiday.

Laura and I send our best wishes for a memorable celebration.

On behalf of the American people

FUBO

[CodeToad]

The news last night said Lincoln started Thanksgiving. I kid you not.

[Poe White Trash]

Did he say “Muslims strike home”?

To the poor: food for you, next; food for you; a bullet for you two; a simetar for you and you; food for you; a bullet for you; a hanging for you; a kidnapping for you. Well, a busy, busy day all in all.

[F.J. Mitchell]

He wasn’t speaking on behalf of me.

[F.J. Mitchell]

That did bear repeating. :)

[Jabba the Nutt]

I'm sorry, Islam does not share the same ethical (or theological) basis as Judaism or Christianity. Where are the 10 Commandments in Islam? Where is the Golden Rule in Islam?

Islam is explicitly set up to treat people differently, not as equals under God. Supposedly, Muslims are equal under God, but infidels are there to be converted, taxed, oppressed or killed. In the end, infidels are to be eliminated. That is the goal of Islam.

[indubitably]

At least President Bush had the good sense to send the greeting personally from him and Laura - not on behalf of the nation.

[PJammers]

“...three million Muslims from all walks of life – including thousands of American Muslims – will stand in prayer on Mount Arafat.”

Three words:

Target Rich Environment.

[calex59]

Allah is not the God of Abraham. Islam does not have Abrahamic roots.

I agree, if the God of Abraham was Allah then muslims would not be muslims, they would be Jews. Mohammad the pedophile is a pi** poor prophet and anyone who would follow such a vile creature has to be insane.
