Obama's Eid greeting to Muslims backfires
By Staff Writer | Al Arabiya News - Tuesday, 29 July 2014
A White House message on Twitter wishing “Muslims in the United States and around the world a blessed and joyous celebration” of Eid al-Fitr on Monday sparked backlash over President Barack Obama's position on Gaza, where more than 20 Palestinians, including 10 children, were killed by Israeli shelling on the day of Eid.

“Muslims throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Eid-al-Fitr, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to them and their families,” Obama said.
“While Eid marks the completion of Ramadan, it also celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligations that people of all faiths have to each other, especially those impacted by poverty, conflict, and disease,” he added.
“We stand with people of all faiths, here at home and around the world, to protect and advance their rights to prosper, and we welcome their commitment to giving back to their communities,” the U.S. president said.
One person replied on Twitter saying: “except the ones in Gaza [be]cause they're too busy getting bombed.

====================================
And this from a decidedly pro-Muslim source...
The most troubling thing about this is, that Obumble never seems to learn from his past mistakes...
You'd think 5-1/2 years would be enough for him to start to 'get it', wouldn't you?
Apparently not.
Even though I made the mistake of voting for the guy... January 20, 2017, can't come fast enough for me, now.
My apologies, to my countrymen, and the Republic, for voting the way I did.
Talk about Buyer's Remorse...
