Rueters reports that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has declined a request to host an event to mark Ramadan. Reuters cites two U.S. officials.
The State Department has been hosting such dinners for two decades. The practice began in 1998 under Madeleine Albright.
Tillerson issued a statement on Friday to mark the start of Ramadan. He called it “a month of reverence, generosity, and self-reflection.” “Most importantly,” he added, “it is a cherished time for family and friends to gather and give charity to those who are less fortunate.”
One might think that this statement pays sufficient tribute to the holiday. However, former U.S. diplomat Farah Pandith, who helped plan Ramadan events at the White House and State Department under past administrations, complained that if Tillerson declines to host a Ramadan shindig, it might send a message “that it is not as important to this administration to engage with Muslims.”
Take that Satan. You lose. So what's the problem? The way I see it sanity returns! All Muslims should protest this by packing up their families and leaving America for good.Tell you what, let's compromise. This weekend, let's invite them all to a cookout and serve BBQ Pork Ribs wrapped in Bacon, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and plenty of alcohol! Oh and waitresses in bikinis. This isn't an Islamic country, why should our government put on anything related to Islam? Last I heard , the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Muslims can worship their child molester, but it must not be at any US government facility. Islam is alien to and incompatible with our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our way of life. It doesn't belong here.
So God bless Rex Tillerson, and thanks President Trump for selecting God fearing people. Now, let me get back to my pork sandwich.
