Obama Send Greeting Eid


United States President Barack Obama delivered a congratulatory feast of Eid al-Fitr to all Muslims of the world. Eid al-Fitr marks the victory of Muslims in the world after a month of fasting.

Obama also gave a large donation for flood victims in Pakistan, which happened last July and killed about 1,700 people.

Eid celebrations this year coincided with the commemoration of the September 11 terrorist attacks (9 / 11) of the two twin towers of World Trade Center (WTC). Theseattacks raise the event of negative sentiment in the U.S. post-development plans of mosques and Islamic cultural center near ground zero.

This celebration was marred by the action of a priest sect Dove World Outreach Center,Terry Jones, from Florida who planned to burn the Koran in the commemoration of 9 / 11this.

Obama said the Muslim celebration is the perfect time to reflect on religious tolerance."And respect for all the positive teachings of all religions that play a role in American life," Obama said.
Related burning the Koran, Obama has voiced loud and asked Jones did not carry outhis intention that it will only benefit the group al-Qaeda.
