US Secretary Of State Refuses To Host Ramadan Event For First Time In 20 Years
May 30, 2017 by Joshua Walker

U.S Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has refused to host a traditional Ramadan event which has been regularly observed for more than twenty years, according to two U.S officials. Ramadan is a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of Muhammad and is a highly important component of the Islamic calendar.

Although a U.S State Department official is reported to have said, 'We are still exploring possible options for the observance of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the month of Ramadan', this news will still cause some concern.

Trumps administration has been accused of having an unfair biased against the Muslim community. Former US diplomat Farah Pandith explains that 'If Tillerson avoids hosting one this year, that could send a message 'that it is not as important to this administration to engage with Muslims.'

With the White house traditionally hosting Christmas, Easter and a Cedar dinner to commemorate the Jewish passover, there is a precedent in place to do the same for the Ramadan.

White house representatives have refused to comment on whether they would host an event to mark Ramadan this year.

Religion of shit and pieces.
Why must everything about these Muslims be awkward? Imagine they woke me up by 3/30 shouting and beating some useless drum, stainless and kegs shouting saree to.
Can't they set their alarms to wake them up? Must they around the neighborhood shouting up and down?
And na so so curse iya mutia dey curse them him children from morning till night and she dey fast too o! Nonsense

Op... Why are u trying to paint America black?

Being with a Bible in Saudi Arabia carries death sentence.

Christian Evangelism of any kind carries death sentence.

Yet you want America to be observing Ramadan in d white house.

If Saudi Arabia can observe Easter for once, no problem

If Saudi Arabia doesn't permit any form of Christian activity, then moslems have no right to complain if America shuts off moslems

Trump is doing a great job, America is a Christian country if the Muslims are not happy they can relocate
