In a statement, President Obama commemorated the Muslim holiday of Ramadan calling it a time to "cherish family, friends, and neighbors, and to help those in need."
"On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to Muslim Americans and Muslims around the world at the start of Ramadan," Obama said.
Obama also took the opportunity to tie in the struggles of people across the Muslim world engaged in ongoing fighting related to the Arab spring uprisings that began in 2011.
"This year, Ramadan holds special meaning for those citizens in the Middle East and North Africa who are courageously achieving democracy and self-determination and for those who are still struggling to achieve their universal rights. The United States continues to stand with those who seek the chance to decide their own destiny, to live free from fear and violence, and to practice their faith freely. Here in the United States, Ramadan reminds us that Islam is part of the fabric of our Nation, and that from public service to business, from healthcare and science to the arts Muslim Americans help strengthen our country and enrich our lives," Obama said.

What did he pee on it?
Obama is married to Mooshell. He might be get'n some pork ever night.
Oh c’mon.. We have all those beautiful and IMPENETRABLE Mosques to look at. /s
Did he have anything to say to the LBGT muslim community?
Or, how about the oppressed muslim women who can not afford contraceptives?
Does he do this at Easter or Christmas? Or Rosh Hashanah? Or Yom Kippur?
He totally is a fake, phony, fraud in my opinion and he can start packing...because in Jan. 2013 we will begin the healing process.
...fabric that’s been soiled.
seriously he is the anti christ!
Not that in itself it is disqualifying but it sure gives credence to the fact that if Bambi has any religious faith at all it leans toward Mecca.
He cancels the National Day of Prayer, but marks Ramadan. See this Youtube video about Obama and Islam: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=tCAffMSWSzY#t=28
So even though he will be out of office, I guess I can expect to hear the community organizer wish everyone a very blessed and merry Christmas in December rather than referencing the “Holiday Season”.
I won’t hold my breath.
EODGUY
I can’t wait to say, “ex president Zero”
Thanks ColdOne.
Liberals have always loved a “grab-a$$” festival, Woodstock style, or they always seem to have been tailored to attract dum liberals.
Obama marks Ramadan
Praise allah that he’s not into venture capital or private equity!
Check for his “wedding” ring in any pics during Ramadan. Last year it was “being repaired” during Ramadan. My understanding is that Muslims don’t wear jewelry during this period, maybe someone knows if that’s correct.
I put the quotes around wedding because it’s not really a wedding band, it’s a muslim related ring he was wearing before Michele ever came on the scene.
