Presidential Greetings On Beginning of Ramadan

The Muslim holy month of Ramadan began Sept. 12. On that day, the White House released a Presidential Statement sending greetings to Muslims in the U.S. and around the world who are observing the month of fasting and prayer. The statement said in part: “America is a land of many faiths, and our society is enriched by our Muslim citizens. May the holy days of Ramadan remind us all to seek a culture of compassion and serve others in charity.”
