For the first time in nearly two decades, the White House did not host an iftar dinner to commemorate Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.

Instead, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania released a statement on Saturday wishing "warm greetings" to those celebrating Eid al-Fitr, an important holiday marking the end of Ramadan. LINK

Good! If Trump really wants to screw with the media then they should host a dinner for a Russian holiday.

Considering it was a recent tradition (last three Presidents have done it) and that it's a Muslim holiday, I'm cool with it.

This, combined with all the whining about Christmas, is hilarious.

Seems like the type of spot to get an easy "I hate extremists, not the whole religion" point on the scoreboard to help in some of his existing political battles about whether he's targeting terrorists or muslims

Appeasing extremists is a failed strategy. Muslim respect Trump because he won't pat on their back while peeing down their leg. They know is not fake. If says he will do it they can count on him to keep his word.

No Pride declaration.

Skipping Ramadan.

It's a start.

BTW, now that Ramadan is over, are Muslims going to chill with the killing and maiming non-believers for a bit?

Nah.

Suck it, Islam.

A cochon de lait on the front lawn of the White House. That would be awesome.
