Presidential Message, Ramadan 2008
I send greetings to Muslims observing
Ramadan in America and around the globe.
The holy month of Ramadan is a special
time of prayer, fasting, and service. For Muslims, these days commemorate the
revelation of God's word to the prophet Muhammad in the form of the Qur'an.
I thank the men and women of the Muslim
community for their contributions to America. Your love of family, and
gratitude to God have strengthened the moral fabric of our country. Our
Nation is stronger and more hopeful because of the generosity, talents, and
compassion of our Muslim citizens.
Laura and I send our best wishes.
Ramadan Mubarak.
GEORGE W. BUSH
