Trump Hosts Iftar Dinner Without US Muslim Groups

By Patsy Widakuswara, VOA, May 14, 2019 1:07 AM

President Donald Trump joins an iftar dinner, which breaks a daylong fast, celebrating Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, May 13, 2019THE WHITE HOUSE — U.S. President Donald Trump called it his “great privilege” to welcome ambassadors and diplomats from Muslim-majority nations to the White House for an iftar dinner Monday marking the end of fasting observed by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.

Story continues below advertisement

He highlighted Ramadan as “a time of charity, of giving and service to our fellow citizens,” and one in which to become closer as families and communities.

“Ramadan is a time when people joined forces in pursuit of hope, tolerance, and peace. It is in this spirit that we come together tonight,” Trump said.

Editor’s Note: Here I beg to differ with the President.  Islam’s core beliefs make it clear that the latter statement is closer to the truth. During Ramadan, Muslims are exhorted to renew and deepen their devotion to Allah. Hence it is a time when they’re supposed to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims. However, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves” (48:29). If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to the Ramadan observance will simultaneously become more both merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers.

Murdering infidels thus doesn’t contradict the spirit of Ramadan; it embodies it. The Kavkaz Center, a website operated by Chechen jihadists, explained in a 2010 article that the idea of Ramadan as a time for warfare against infidels went back to Muhammad’s time: “The month of Ramadan in the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and the righteous ancestors was a month of forthcoming. The greatest battles during the lifetime of the Prophet (pbuh) occurred in this blessed month, the month of jihad, zeal and enthusiasm.”

Trump was, unfortunately, following the example of his two immediate predecessors when he claimed that “Ramadan is a time when people joined forces in pursuit of hope, tolerance, and peace,” and was severely misleading the American people. Ironically, even in doing this he is likely to fail to satisfy Muslims, or anyone.

This is the president’s second iftar. In 2017 Trump broke the tradition that President Bill Clinton started in 1996 and did not host a reception.

Like last year, American Muslim organizations and lawmakers were not part of the guest list.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump called for a complete ban on all Muslims entering the United States and has signed multiple executive orders restricting immigration from Muslim-majority countries.

American Muslim groups claim they feel targeted by the president’s rhetoric and policies, and say they would have declined had they been invited.

“It would be very, very awkward for us to be there, in the presence of a president who is anti-Muslim, anti-immigrants, who supports white supremacy, and racist policies against communities of color and minorities,” said Nihad Awad, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization.

American Muslim organizations have attended past iftars under Clinton, Bush and Obama, although many of them boycotted during the start of the Iraq war.

Members of Congress of the Islamic faith have been present in past iftars, but lawmakers Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were absent Monday night. In the past month, Trump has tweeted attacks on Omar and Tlaib, the first two American Muslim women to win Congressional seats.

Engie Mohsen, Policy Program Manager of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a national American Muslim advocacy and public policy organization said the absence of American Muslim groups and lawmakers demonstrates “how the president does not see American Muslims as part of America.”

Mohsen accused the administration of purposefully portraying American Muslims “as an other” and the administration’s statements and actions “repeatedly spread falsehoods about Muslims and Islam.”

Mohsen and Awad pointed to the rise in hate crimes since Trump took office.

Awad said CAIR has tracked “unprecedented hate against Muslims,” claiming Islamophobia has been legitimized and normalized through this president and his administration’s policies.”

Despite tense relations with the nation’s Muslim community, Trump closed his remarks by saying America is a nation founded on the belief that citizens of all faiths can live together.

The President’s comments are disappointing … but I do not expect him to call Islam or Muslims out for what they are in the course of a diplomatic dinner. He should have just been silent on the whole peace and love thing.

Not inviting Muslim terror-Jihad groups and lawmakers is encouraging.

It’s just political theater for diplomacy. It means nothing.

The precedence was set for this back in 1996 by Hillary Clinton. The Bush’s and Obama’s carried it forward. Hillary tired of Chinese money and when Huma Abedin became her intern, she turned Hillary on to Muslim money in June and by the fall we had our first Muslim celebration at the WH. The Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and other terrorist organizations were invited.

Yes, it is diplomacy, but he does not have to go that far to say something nice. Silence speaks volumes. Most of his comments seemed appropriate for the moment. There was just that one – over the top – ‘feel good’ statement about Ramadan.

I’m not too worried about his heart. Trump isn’t on the Saudi’s payroll, and he’s no bootlicker like W or Bam Bam. I’m sure he understands Islam, but his advisors should know that too much acquiescence appears to be weakness in the Muslim world.

It’s also likely it’s just a slip of the tongue so to speak. I know from experience – it’s easy to slip up when you’re trying to think of something the boss can say to an audience to build coalitions … I’ve written stuff for my boss, and I’ve also stood in front of hostile audiences – of hundreds of people – and it’s a tricky problem trying to be conciliatory without being condescending or sounding false – when you want to build a bridge and work with people.

Have an excellent week – and weekend – felix!

Yes, Trump is obligated to say something nice and especially about Ramadan which is the purpose of the dinner. It’s all part of diplomacy. He can’t exactly stand there insult them and serve them a roasted pig for dinner! Trump i a polished executive and has been dealing with people he likes and doesn’t like for decades in foreign countries. He is can be whatever he wants to be. I often admire his restraint with people like Pelois, Ms. Trudy, Macron and Merkel. They all HATE him with a passion and you know why.

Trump understands….he is simply obligated to do this just as P.M. Netanyahu dines and meets with Muslim leaders too. Trump doesn’t need their money and he is not on some Muslim payroll. Trump gives away his Presidential salary. If he gets eight years that will be it. If he is not successful in getting the changes we need, our country is finished.

I don’t want any of them her either. Trump is our last shot. At times we all have to do distasteful things. This is one of them for Trump. After he is done his term, we will not get another President quite like him. Others are gutless and most likely bought and paid for. In 2016, he basically financed his run because the GOP thought he’d lose and they wanted to save seats. This shows how disconnected the swamp is with voters. No, Trump isn’t in it for the money.

You have a great week too!

That’s right … and it’s hard to figure out. Your analysis is spot on. As a former government regumalator … I know it’s not possible to herd the cats and signal your real intentions. Also, if you get out foxed and out maneuvered – you have to keep up appearances and continue ‘dancing’ – or lose all of your leverage.

Any time is on the Islamic Supremacists’ side – as you say – all they have to do is wait while our team has to play long difficult games … and the other team gets to cheat.

Have a great week.

I think you would be horrified if you could see how many times a vote on investigating ISLAM was brought up in D.C.. There was never enough votes to follow through on it. The GOP wants the same future for us as the DEMS. I don’t think Trump realized how little support e continues to have in the swamp. It is my opinion that when he was elected the GOP just needed a stronger voice to back what the GOP used to stand for. Unfortunately the GOP is hardly better than the DEMS. Now it is in the open. Trump has exposed them.

I vehemently disagree. He sold us down the river, once again. It’s not as if it is a long established tradition. Billary Clownton held the first moslem event, an EID dinner, in 1996. When human beings started bending over backwards for the vilest of ALL creatures (moslems) that’s when most of the problems commenced.

Trump did not host an Iftar dinner in 2017, but comes back the last two years with one. Why?

ONLY good thing about it is he did not invite the rabble as did Obama, pictured here holding similar dinners. He hosted 8 of them.

Because we have to deal with Muslim countries. We have been hosting these dinners since 1996.
Hillary hosted the first one in 1996. It’s called diplomacy. In the U.S. we don’t discriminate by “religion”. Other foreign religious events are also hosted – you just don’t hear much about it. Yes, a MUSLIM country will not host Jewish or Christian celebrations because they are Muslim countries. They do not allow freedom of religion and the U.S. does. Unless someone can gather up the courage and show how ISLAM is totally incompatible with our country, these MUSLIM dinners will continue. It’s that straight forward.

Israel has agreements and talks all the time with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc. and they are all Muslim countries. They all fear Iran. That is the common ground. All Trump is doing as he has done in the past, is invite ambassadors from Muslim countries for working relationship with them I;m not happy about it but that’s the reason it’s done – diplomacy. I think at some point in the ear future Trump will go after CAIR too.

Yeah, I can see an Islam leader, TALKING, with another country’s leader. When all you Israel haters, say stuff like “P.M. Netanyahu meets and talks with Muslim countries too in the name of diplomacy”, that’s all it is! Just TALK!
When Netanyahu, does like Trump, and hosts a dinner, in the name of another people’s “god”, in the highest office in the land, you’ll have room to talk! And what other leader, besides Trump has made such a pretty speech to all of the millions of musslims in their country, one that he is so proud of it, that it’s STILL on the White House dot GOV, website! Such as this!

“invite ambassadors from Muslim countries for working relationship with them”

Apparently someone doesn’t understand that muzzies can lie, deceive, cheat and steal, stab ya in the back, while laughing about it all! You actually think that muzzies can be trusted for a “working relationship”?? Oh, you must mean, the “moderates”….oooooh ok, big difference….NOT!

Ambassadors from countries we have a relationship with were invited. I would bet it is the same list from last year. It’s out there somewhere. Like others, I’d like all Muslims deported and none of them here for any reason but that is not realistic right now. P.M. Netanyahu meets and talks with Muslim countries too in the name of diplomacy. It’s just the way it is. I’d bet Trump snubbed Omar, Tlaib and Muslim convert André D. Carson representing Indiana’s 7th congressional district. Du,b people are voting them in office!

Ramadan as “a time of charity, of giving and service to our fellow citizens,”

Highly innacurate. It’s not to fellow citizens but fellow muslims that they are obliged to provide charity to. Non-muslims have to actually PAY jizya to Muslims if they rule over the former.

Seated directly next to President Trump is the Albanian Ambassador Vlora Citaku, from the narco-terror Frankenstein “state” of “Kosovo” carved from Serbian territory. It has been reported that Kosovo is hosting 5 ISIS training camps that are conscripting young Albanian children for training..

The Albanian regime has profited from human organ harvesting of Serbian Christians and other non Albanians, and heads a Albanian criminal cartel engaged in the heroin trade and human sex trafficking of young women and girls.

According to intelligence reports, returning Albanian ISIS terrorists are being flown in from Syria on US transport planes in preparation for a June attack on the remaining Christian enclave in Northern Kosovo. They will be joined by forces from Albania embedded with Kosovo militias.

Hillary Clinton and Madeline Albright are expected to visit Kosovo shortly thereafter.

This is part of an open effort to ethnically cleanse the remaining Christians from Kosovo who stand in the way for its annexation by Albania. This ‘Greater Albania’ is to include other parts of Serbia as well as Montenegro, and Macedonia: The configuration ‘Greater Albania’ is a virtual replica of that created for them by the Fascists during WW II. Why is the President Trump continuing these lawless, destabilizing policies of the Clintons and George Soros in the Balkans. The Albanians have destroyed more than 300 churches and monasteries in Kosovo and other sacred Christian and cultural sites.

“Mohsen and Awad pointed to the rise in hate crimes against Muslims since Trump took office.” Where? When? How many casualties? FGM is not a hate crime? Eating during Ramadan? Drawing Mohammad? Cite the news articles, CAIR. Jihadist murders and bombings are not “hate crimes”? I guess not. Muslims are so superior and exempt from Kuffer standards. They won’t be judged as barbarians. They intend to be “dominant.”
