Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. As Muslims mark the end of the month, they are reminded that Ramadan is a time to reflect spiritually, build communally, and aid those in need. While Eid marks the end of Ramadan, it marks a new beginning for each individual – a reason to celebrate and express gratitude on this holiday.
For millions of Muslims, the morning of Eid is marked with the call to prayer echoing through cities and towns across the globe. Millions of people head to local mosques for special Eid prayers followed by festive gatherings, gift exchanges, and feasts among friends, neighbors and families. The diversity of traditions paint the vibrant images we see from around the world capturing the spirit and excitement of Eid – colorful dresses or white garments decorating the masses of people standing in lines for prayer, lanterns and ornaments lighting up bazaars and neighborhoods, intricate henna designs painted on hands of young girls and women, and an abundance of delectable foods and aromatic cuisines.
As Muslim Americans celebrate Eid across America, the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs. This past year New York City Public Schools announced adding Eid to their official school calendars alongside Christmas, Hanukkah and other holidays – an acknowledgement of the great diversity and inclusiveness that adds to the richness of our nation. During this year’s White House Iftar, I had the opportunity to meet inspiring young Muslim Americans who are leading efforts for greater understanding and unity across diverse communities. Following the Iftar, one of the young attendees helped spearhead an effort that raised more than $75,000 for the churches burned in the wake of the shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Americans of all faiths and beliefs must stand together to protect our democracy and strengthen our country as a whole.
Michelle and I hope today brings joy to all of your homes, both here in the U.S. and around the world. From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak!
This is surreal, this has to be satire. Who does this kind of thing when American troops are laying dead in the streets of America, slaughtered by a Muslim. Then he asks Americans to respect people of all faiths. I’m sorry, but we are cowards for not marching armed, on DC and demanding his resignation.
This country has known who and what this traitor is. This is nothing new — another anti-American, anti-Christian, IN YOUR FACE AMERICA!!
Nice job Congress - you have left him in our sacred White House to pollute it.
Well had America not sent lesser evils to DC that promised to work with Barry during the campaign, in some misguided effort at WINNING! like Charlie Sheen, we’d have people opposing this piece of human garbage.
But ‘we’ didn’t want to do that. So now we get what we voted for. A boot stomping on a human face forever to paraphrase Orwell.
Our greeting for this time of festivities was Eid me.
True that.
My God.
Words fail me.
I am 82 years old and have NEVER detested a president as I do this one.
He is insane.
.
Lowest of low.
Any statement yet on the Marines killed today....by a muzzie?
Obama has no class, no clue, or tact. NONE whatsoever. A disgrace to the office of of POTUS.
Wow
He could haved toned it down at least
Fulsome pandering blather to a murderous ideology and the bodies of our marines are in a morgue
Here’s my message to the Moham-madmen:
You pig-dogs need to eat sh!t and die. We need to hunt you down, cut you badly and then feed you all to wild boars and then bury you face down with your butts aimed at Mekkah with big guts and the bones of small animals.
How many millions will the families of these soldiers get, like the families in South Carolina?
I could do a google search on Obama commemorating the end of Lent but I already know the result.
Though the timing of their announcement is uncertain, it appears the statement from the White House was issued just hours after the attack on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

After this closet Islamic Marxist Homo leaves office, I hope there is not another Ramadan Celebration in the White House, ever! No Muslim prayer breakfast or prayer rugs or any of that heathen religion’s relics.
In 2017, I believe Aug 4 will become a new fed holiday.
Baraq Obama birthday and End of Ramadan.
Sounds like some kind of GO signal for muslims to plan more attacks on Americans.
Not cold for the muzzle in chief. He’s celebrating infidel deaths.
Did he add on an apology that the perp got shot? He probably thought it even if he didn’t speak it...
CHATTANOOGA
