Statement by the President on the Occasion of Ramadan -
11th August 2010
"These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and
Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity
of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for
great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States,
Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and
that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our
country. And today, I want to extend my best wishes to the 1.5 billion
Muslims around the world - and your families and friends - as you
welcome the beginning of Ramadan."

"I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at
the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month. "
