Obama's Ramadan Message

Transcript: On behalf of the American people including Muslim communities in all fifty states I want to
extend best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem.




Ramadan is the month in which Muslims believe the Koran was revealed to the Prophet
Muhammad, beginning with a simple word iqra. It is therefore a time when Muslims reflect
upon the wisdom and guidance that comes with faith, and the responsibility that human beings
have to one another, and to God.




Like many people of different faiths who have known Ramadan through our communities and
families, I know this to be a festive time a time when families gather, friends host iftars, and
meals are shared. But I also know that Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and reflection a
time when Muslims fast during the day and perform tarawih prayers at night, reciting and
listening to the entire Koran over the course of the month.




These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islams role in advancing
justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.




For instance, fasting is a concept shared by many faiths including my own Christian faith as a
way to bring people closer to God, and to those among us who cannot take their next meal for
granted. And the support that Muslims provide to others recalls our responsibility to advance
opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere. For all of us must remember that the world we
want to build and the changes that we want to make must begin in our own hearts, and our
own communities.




This summer, people across America have served in their communities educating children,
caring for the sick, and extending a hand to those who have fallen on hard times. Faith-based
organizations, including many Islamic organizations, have been at the forefront in participating
in this summer of service. And in these challenging times, this is a spirit of responsibility that we
must sustain in the months and years to come. ...

Not all muslims are terrorists, but so far every terrorist is a Muslim.

Calling someone a traitor is a pretty serious charge. We ask people to be factual here. There are many other places on the internet you can rant. Please back up your allegations with facts.

I'm sorry. You are repeating false information. Obama is not a Muslim. False information like that will be removed from the comments here. This is a respectable information source.

The terrorists didn't follow the holy Quran,

The holy book never taught Muslims to fighting, bombing, unless they(Muslim) are being attacked first and even in that condition, children, women (of the attackers) and natures(plants, animals) cannot be killed or harmed. So I hope people don't blame on the religion.

happy ramdin

The only reason why Iraq is still called Iraq is because of our weak leaders in the US. If they did it the way it needs to be done terrorsism would be another History topic. It is not a matter of inability. it is more a matter of international political pressure. I don't think you have the slightest idea of what the US is capable.

But, you are only as strong as your weakest link. Unfortuneately, Obama is that weak link.
