After first iftar dinner in 1805, the White House started yearly ritual in 1996, under former First Lady Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump’s government has not held an iftar dinner for the end of Ramadan, breaking a Muslim tradition held at the White House for more than two centuries.

The iftar dinner occurs at sunset at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islam lunar calendar and a time of prayer, reflection and fasting.
White House officials reportedly spend months planning the event, which has been held every year under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, but 2017 took a different path.
The White House issued a statement on late Saturday evening.

"Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity," the statement read. "Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbours and breaking bread with people from all walks of life.
"During this holiday, we are reminded of the importance of mercy, compassion, and goodwill. With Muslims around the world, the United States renews our commitment to honour these values. Eid Mubarak."

You guys have refused to Migrate to Saudi but instead prefer USA for reason you have all refused to be clear on ...For your information Trump is going to spend two terms and from there on it will be one good leader after another and not closet terrorist like Obama ...Go to Saudi Jare and leave the west alone

Wow!! Trump is the man..... He fits them... how I wish we had someone like mama peace here too to deal with them.....

There will never be another epic failure like Obama to occupy the WH.

DEAL WITH THAT.

Clinton & Bush as epic failure as Obama, who also observed the TRADITION during their presidencies?

Trump had a preconceived idea about Muslims but after his first term must have ended a new POTUS will return the status quo.
If you can't see beyond your nose, simply cut it off so you can see. Blind haters!

good riddance...

LOL. This one still hoping Trump will lose a second term bid.

How the delusioned idiots have fallen.

From Trump will never get the Republican nomination to Trump can never win the WH to Trump will soon be impeached over fake news claims of Russian collusion to now Trump wont be re-elected!

Godamm You Yams CAN BE SERIOUSLY deluded when you want to be.

FYI, the chances of an outbreak of war occuring in the middle east invovilng Saudi Arabia within the next 4yrs is very very real.

Rather than bother your low-iq brain on Trump presidency why not go and locate your fake messiah who has been on life support in a London hospice.

You do not know.

Isam is gradually breaking new grounds. While we Christians sleep, they are bent on conquering the world. They go to the USA and Europe because those are new grounds they need to conquer. Why go to Muslim countries that are already conquered?

Look at England, they are conquering it gradually: at least they have a mayor there now

The day the United States of America failed in its leadership as the number one world power, she immediately relinquishes its position as the number one.

Fake news is what got Nixon out of office.

No way that is going to happen as Trump continues to make the COMPOST NEWS NETWORK look dumber by the day.
