Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid al-Adha to Muslims worldwide and congratulate those performing Hajj. Thousands of Muslim Americans are among those who have joined one of the world’s largest and most diverse gatherings in making the pilgrimage to Mecca and nearby sites.
As Muslims celebrate this Eid, they will also commemorate Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son by distributing food to those less fortunate around the world. They join the United States and the international community in relief efforts to assist those struggling to survive in the Horn of Africa and those recovering from the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
The Eid and Hajj rituals are a reminder of the shared roots of the world’s Abrahamic faiths and the powerful role that faith plays in motivating communities to serve and stand with those in need. On behalf of the American people, we extend our best wishes during this Hajj season. Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mabrour.

Now see, the proper address should've been:
Hope y'all have a good time in mecca, because it's the last time you'll ever see it. At 12:01 AM, we're gonna nuke that sucker and turn it into the worlds' thickest plate of glass.
Excuse me while I go make another pulled pork sandwich.
"On behalf of The American People"?
ReplyDeleteWrong.
I just got a whole bunch of shit on facebook for mentioning that the Hausa minority of Nigerians (who are muslim) are ethnically cleansing the Biafran majority (who are Catholic) in southern Nigeria. The Biafrans reside on the oil-rich delta, but the Hausa control the Nigerian government. Not a peep from the White House. President Obama isn't really interested in protecting the other two K's mentioned in the KKK.
ReplyDeleteObama. Muezzin of America.
ReplyDeleteThe professional muezzin is chosen for his good character, voice and skills to serve at the mosque; he however is not considered a cleric, but in a position rather comparable to a Christian sexton. When calling to prayer, the muezzin faces the Qiblah, the direction of the Ka'bah in Mecca, while he cries out the adhan. During the worship service, the muezzin in some mosques stands on a special platform (called the müezzin mahfili in Turkish), which is opposite the imam's minbar and gives responses during the imam's sermon, the khutbah.
...Yep. Sounds about right...
"On behalf of..." hey, he don't extend jack shit on MY behalf, goddam kenyan mulatto bastard.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea better, but I would drop that greeting from a stealth bomber as it quietly slipped over the target rich environment.
