Last Night, continuing a White House tradition, President Obama hosted his fifth Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan. The Iftar is the meal that breaks the day of fasting during Ramadan, when Muslim families eat together after sunset. During his remarks, the President thanked the Muslim community for the sacrifices they’ve made for the United States.

"Throughout our history, Islam has contributed to the character of our country, and Muslim Americans, and their good works, have helped to build our nation -- and we’ve seen the results. We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants -- farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities. Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped to unlock the secrets of our universe.
Every day, Muslim Americans are helping to shape the way that we think and the way that we work and the way that we do business. And that’s the spirit that we celebrate tonight -- the dreamers, the creators whose ideas are pioneering new industries, creating new jobs and unleashing new opportunities for all of us.”

President Obama also wished Muslim Americans and Muslims all around the world a blessed Ramadan.

Well along with those "dreamers and creators" are the terrorists who are also pioneering new industries and creating new jobs and unleashing "opportunities" for all of us.

In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Easter eggs and Christmas parties are secular in nature.
They are not Christian.

Good Friday dinner is Christian.
Midnight mass on Christmas eve is Christian.

If presidents are going to pay lip service to one religion, they have to do it for all of them. Or pay lip service to none of them. Your call.

And if you can break the code hidden in the page numbers and chapter titles, it spells out "I am a secret Muslim"
