Obama Skips Easter Greeting - Commemorated All Muslim Holidays
Fox News first caught the blunder and put it into context that makes the omission insulting to Christians. The mistake is odd enough to call into question just what Obamas priorities are.By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. The White House . . . did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the presidents weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter. Obama, Fox notes, did head out to church yesterday and held an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House last week. Obama is on a roll for religious holiday greeting screw ups. Fox News writes: In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian. Posted by: Jineng Ebbith6939 2011-04-25 |
