| Obama sends Eid greetings to Muslims worldwide |
| 2010-11-16 |
| WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle extended good wishes Monday to the world’s 1.57 billion Muslims ahead of the Eid Al Adha holiday. “Michelle and I extend our greetings for a happy Eid Al Adha to Muslims worldwide and wish safe travels to those performing Haj,” Obama said in a statement. In his message Monday, the US leader said the religious holiday serves as “a reminder of the shared values and the common roots of three of the world’s major religions.” “On behalf of the American people, we extend our best wishes during this Haj season — Eid Mubarak and Haj Mabrour,” he added, using the traditional holiday greetings in Arabic. |
