White House Ramadan Message for 2011
2011-08-02
The 2011 message is shorter than in 2010 or 2009 and seems less hopey/changy. It contains the following,
"The heartbreaking accounts of lost lives and the images of families and children in Somalia and the Horn of Africa struggling to survive remind us of our common humanity and compel us to act. Now is the time for nations and peoples to come together to avert an even worse catastrophe by offering support and assistance to on-going relief efforts."

"Ramadan is also a time of intense devotion and reflection -- a time when Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night; when Muslims provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere"

"This month is also a time of renewal and this marks the first Ramadan since the President outlined his vision for a new beginning between America and the Muslim world...True partnerships also require cooperation in all areas -- particularly those that can make a positive difference in peoples' daily lives, including education, science and technology, health, and entrepreneurship - fields in which Muslim communities have helped play a pioneering role throughout history."
In none of those messages did the President use the Islamic Year (which this year is 1432). In 2009 (1430) he ended his message with 'Ramadan Kareem' which means 'Bountiful Ramadan' or 'Generous Ramadan'. It would have been interesting if the President had used the alternate Islamic Greeting, "Ramadan Mubarak" which means "Blessed Ramadan".

#5  Bizarre means are used to date ramadan.

It is important to separate ramadan from eid, which symbolizes the glory of murder of kafirs. The Badr-Massacre was fought during ramadan, thus has its own significance.

As for ramadan, mohammadans are not even allowed to swallow their own saliva during same. How would you like to be on a bus at 8 PM, with a driver who has had no nourishment for 14 hours?

#4  before someone complains, the years in my post and Tyranasaurus's comment don't calculate well because one Islamic year = about 355 days where
one Julian or Gregorian (secular) year = about 365 days; and yes, that does mean that sometimes Ramadan occurs twice in one secular year

#3  MY MESSAGE: Mr President, before you cut into that meat from an animal who was left to bleed to death in agony after a knife was thrust in its throat, think about what the Eid Festival means. In 624 AD, Muhammad's bandits ceased plundering Syian and Yemeni traders, and set out to slaughter their own families. The butchery that you celebrate is taken by the cult of the child abandoning reprobate who sired you, to mean the dehumanization of all "disbeliever" (kafirs) in a cult that has Murdered over 300,000,000 Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, etc and destroyed thousands of indigenous cultures.

At the Badr-Massacre, which you celebrate in Eid, sons murdered fathers. Eid is symbolic in this way: the throat of the lamb that is cut is taken as your throat. Your presence at Eid means that you are serving up kafirs to Genocidal mohammadanism. Attendance at Eid is the exact equivalent of Neo-Nazis using Zyklon-B gas-chamber knock-offs, to celebrate the Holocaust, and with dhimmi Jews participating.

Consider this when you bite into that lamb, the enemy that you serve are the historical spawn of the wild animals who have slaughtered a number nearly equivalent to the population of the country that you serve to the benefit of that enemy.

Eid Mubarak may translate as "happy feast", but it means: slaughter kafirs without moral constraint.

Mr President: represent your people better.

#1  Hey Ramadamadingdongers,
How about sending some of your leftovers to your coreligionists in Somalia. The infidels are tired of feeding these ingrates.
