OT: Right from the WH web site:
Presidential Message: Ramadan
Laura and I send warm greetings to Muslims in the United States and
throughout the world as they begin the observance of Ramadan.
The month of Ramadan, which commemorates the revelation of the Qur'an to the
prophet Muhammed, is the holiest month of the Muslim year. It is a special
time of reflection, fasting, and charity. It is also a time of spiritual
growth and prayer and an occasion to remember the less fortunate by sharing
God's gifts with those in need.
Throughout our history, America has been blessed by the contributions of
people of many different faiths. Our Muslim citizens have helped make our
Nation a stronger and more hopeful place through their faith, generosity,
and compassion.
May this be a blessed Ramadan for Muslims in the United States and around
the world. Ramadan mubarak.
GEORGE W. BUSH
