It’s a PR stunt, IMHO.

The dinner is an annual event, hosted by the current seated president. Former president George Bush hosted the traditional Ramadan dinner in 2007

Really? News to me that this ever went on. Why should any president celebrate any religious event with which they are not personally affiliated? People are touchy about religion; best to celebrate your own, and not comment on others.

Oh no! Don’t be scared by that muslim sounding name! He’s not a muslim at all! Pay no attention to his upbringing! After all, who as a kid didn’t worship allah every now and then?

The American people, in their stupidity to elect this unqualified inexperienced marxist-moslem empty suit, have the government they deserve.

Bush 43 held “iftar” events quite frequently during his 8 years in the White House

And Muslim military members go to do, gasp!, prayers at the White House during Ramandan 2006

Precisely. I don’t ever recall seeing a WH dinner broadcast live.

This is bogus.

As other FReepers have pointed out here... but Obama blows off the national day of prayer and still doesn’t attend a Christian church...

Oh, and there's this: 50,000 Muslims expected for Islamic prayer on Capitol Hill (Sept 25th, 2009)

What is happening to our country??

Maybe someone in the White House kitchen will mess up and serve ham.

President Bush hosted a White House Ramadan dinner every year he was in office starting in 2001.

And he didn’t broadcast it like this guy. AND Bush attended christian prayer events (including church) often and regularly.
