WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama honored Muslim Americans on Wednesday night at the White House’s annual Ramadan dinner. With only a month to go before the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Obama emphasized the role that Muslim Americans played in the wake of the attacks, and their contributions to the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Muslim Americans were (the) first responders ... the EMTs ... the nurse who tended to so many victims, the naval officer at the Pentagon who rushed into the flames and pulled the injured to safety,” the president told approximately 100 guests before the meal.

The tradition of hosting an iftar at the White House was begun by President Bill Clinton, and continued by George W. Bush. This was Obama’s third Ramadan dinner as president.

In the audience were the two members of Congress who practice Islam, Reps. Andre Carson, D-Indiana and Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota; as well as Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, and Rep. Donald Payne, D-New Jersey, who represent large Muslim communities. Government officials, Muslim ambassadors, Muslim community leaders and other leaders of faith groups were also invited.

Arizona Cardinals safety Hamza Abdullah and his brother, Husain Abdullah, who plays for the Minnesota Vikings, were first time guests at the White House Iftar.

Outside the limelight, Ramadan also is being celebrated throughout the US.

The Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, in Falls Church, Virginia, is working with other faith leaders in the fight against hunger in their community in hosting as part of the observance of Ramadan, offering free dinners to all needy families in the Falls Church community.

The executive director, Samir Abo-Issa, said the mosque is feeding over 800 people every night, using the theme “A Ramadan Without Hunger,” they have opened the doors to “share what we have with our neighbors who are less fortunate.”

 “Feeding the hungry is an obligation of faith, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) teaches, you are not a believer if you go to bed with your stomach full while your neighbor is hungry,” said Imam Johari Abdul-Malik, director of outreach for the mosque.

For many Muslims here, Ramadan also is an opportunity to educate non-Muslim friends about their culture and traditions.

Obama: “Islam has always been part of our American family” | The ...

An interesting historical factoid. This, despite the fact that Muslims currently make up less than 1% of the US population – and were mostly non-existent in America prior to the 20th century. Hmmm. Go figure.

I also find it fascinating how Obama – an unimpeachable Christian, we are constantly reminded – can wax so poetic about a faith that is fundamentally opposed to Christianity. Islam isn’t just another denomination of Christianity, and neither is Buddhism, Hinduism, or any other religion you can name. Obama blurs the clear distinctions between the world’s religions by implying that we’re all just one people loving the same God, or something. That is theological mush.

Via Breitbart:

Michael Medved went off on a long tangent when Obama said that last year… Obama was talking about Jefferson hosting a muslim diplomat in the white house, but the truth was that he was demanding “tribute” or ransom for an american ship. This started the First Barbary War… so it seems like America has had a long history of fighting Muslim terrorists…

Obviously he has a ‘connection’ with these people. However, I have to step back and ask if any of these morons in that group really do believe when push comes to shove that he will stand with them? Please name me one group he hasn’t used to get what he wants, and then tossed them to the side? It is a part of this guy’s makeup. And there ain’t anything anyone will say that will convince me otherwise.

I bet he abandons more people in his inner circle when the crap starts to hit the fan and they can no longer control the message? Look for an internal rife between Plough and Jarret!!!! I bet Holder starts getting squeezed before long, too.

Islam IS EVIL. PERIOD.

Islam strives for world domination.

The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad.

The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law.

The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

Islam is NOT a religion, it IS a totalitarian ideology.

Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave.

Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society.

From civic- and family law to criminal law.
