WASHINGTON (US): U.S. President Barack Obama has extended greetings to Muslims around the world on the occasion of Eid ul Azha, as millions of people performed the annual Hajj and followed the tradition of animal sacrifice set by Prophet Hazrat Ibrahim (AS).

Following is the text of President Obama’s message as released by the White House;

“Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid-ul-Azha to Muslims worldwide and wish safe travels to those performing Hajj. This year, nearly three million pilgrims from more than 160 countries-including the United States-have gathered in Mecca and neighboring sites to perform the Hajj rituals and stand together in prayer.

“On Eid, Muslims around the world will commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, and distribute food to those less fortunate-a reminder of the shared values and the common roots of three of the world’s major religions.

“On behalf of the American people, we extend our best wishes during this Hajj season “Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour.”

I’ve been wondering where the hell my cat went...

Who will rid me of this pest?

I wonder if Pres. Bush did this?

[Logical me]

For a "mainstream Christian" he sure knows a lot about Islam and it's history.

He should. He is a communists black Muslim with all his formal training on the black and Muslim culture. He has the attitude of a Muslim and that is no doubt.

“On Eid, Muslims around the world will commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son

But he DIDN'T sacrifice his son.

Meanwhile Obama ignores the message of Easter and Christmas, when God sacrificed His Son for our sins.

I wonder if Pres. Bush did this?

Not with the appreciation of Islamists that Obama holds.

[AliVeritas]

He’s as ‘in the closet’ as Barney Frank.

[wagglebee]

And the Muhammadens believe that Abraham was going to sacrifice Ishmael, NOT Isaac.

Zero is not only bowing down to Muhammaden beliefs, he is embracing a belief that Christians and Jews (e.g. the overwhelming majority of Americans) know to be totally false.

[AliVeritas]

Sounds like Obama.

[SeafoodGumbo]

I wish them all roast pork, beers, dancing, music, warm puppies and girls in bikinis.

Noooooooo! You've got it all wrong; they don't deserve those finer things of life!

Maybe change out the "roast pork" for a bucket of pork fat, the "warm puppies" for angry Rots that only attack their owner, and "girls in bikinis" means mobidly obese women in bikinis.

[ZULU]

That’s even better - all to the tune of some skull-numbing Rap music.

Performing Hajj.....
Isn’t that when three million muslims gather in Mecca and trample on each other?

[AliVeritas]

Gee, and not a word on the dead and hostages (not even investigations), re: all the Christians slaughtered in Iraq (or S. Lebanon, Egypt, Indonesia, in Africa, etc.).

[WayneS]

Yes. I think that’s normally a part of the ‘Day 2 Festivities”.

[The Great RJ]

Gee did Obama sacrifice a goat at the White House in celebration?

[silverleaf]

Dont think so, but Bush did wish Christians a Happy Easter every year

I haven’t yet found a WH statement about Easter from obama, except to announce the Easter egg roll
