President Issues Eid al-Adha Greetings

Yesterday, President Obama issued a statement (full text) extending best wishes for Eid al-Adha to Muslims around the world and congratulating those who performed the Hajj this year. The statement reads in part:
To commemorate Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world are joining other faith communities in offering their assistance to those suffering from hunger, disease, and conflict.  Their service is a powerful example of the positive role that faith can play in motivating communities to work together to address shared challenges.
