This week end, President Bush sent two complementary messages to Muslims and the Muslim world. On Friday, President Bush extended greetings to Muslims in America and around the world who are observing Ramadan. He said: "Ramadan and the upcoming holiday seasons are a good time to remember the common values that bind us together. Our society is enriched by our Muslim citizens whose commitment to faith reminds us of the gift of religious freedom in our country."
The next day in his weekly radio address, the President said that Muslim nations are bound together with other civilized nations in the struggle between moderation and extremism throughout the Middle East.
