Obama greets Muslims across globe on Ramadan

Reaching out to Muslims across the globe, US President Barack Obama has pledged "concrete actions" to build a world that is more peaceful and secure, in his Ramadan message sent out in about a dozen languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and Punjabi.

In a video address, Obama greeted 1.5 billion Muslims across the world getting ready for the holy month of Ramadan, a month-long period of prayer, reflection and sunrise-to-sunset fasts, which began today in Middle East and in most of the Islamic world.

Obama said the rituals of Ramadan are a reminder of the principles Muslims and Christians have in common. He said those principles include advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

US embassies in the Muslim world had held consultations with governments and citizens and he was now "focused on pursuing concrete actions", Obama said in the message which was translated in about a dozen languages, including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and Punjabi.

"We have listened. We have heard you. And like you, we are focused on pursuing concrete actions that will make a difference over timeboth in terms of the political and security issues that I have discussed, and in the areas that you have told us will make the most difference in peoples' lives," he said.

All relegions teaches love & tolerence. If you hate anybody for any reason that means you are not a good follower of your relegion. If you believe in God (who supposed to be impartial) you cannot blame others. Everything is from God!!! Mr. Obama, as per my reading, he is an educated critic striving for the goodness of global community and a good reader of books. Take his notes positively. God is very sad, Try to love each other and make him happy.

I'm an American and I care about American values and culture. I'm insulted having a so called President praising Islam and Muslims, this is a slap in our face. Obama is the worst President in the History of the United States and soon I hope he will be impeached for his crooked policies and politics. He has lied and tried to control government instead of trying to make this country florish as it once did, we don't need a socialist Dictator.......

@sachinisking1  Since you live in the United Kingdom you have to be a complete idiot to leave an opinion about Obama doing a great job !!! You probably couldn't find your ass with a map you pathetic uneducated idiot. Here in America we don't want Islam or Muslims creating havoc, and Obama is doing a terrible job. You need to do some research before making dumb ass comments, Now go back to playing your little boy games and keep out of Adult conversations....
