Donald Trump Ends White House Tradition Of Celebrating Ramadan

After first iftar dinner in 1805, the White House started yearly ritual in 1996, under former First Lady Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump’s government has not held an iftar dinner for the end of Ramadan, breaking a Muslim tradition held at the White House for more than two centuries.

The iftar dinner occurs at sunset at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islam lunar calendar and a time of prayer, reflection and fasting.

White House officials reportedly spend months planning the event, which has been held every year under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, but 2017 took a different path.

How does this affect me as muslim?
How does it affect my religion Islam? All these all Donald Trump problems. Islam is my religion and I am a Muslim. Eid Mubarak to @endy

Endy Edeson

@Falcom. Eid Mubarak. I guess you wouldn't want to work in White House during Ramadan as his policies might deprive you of your religious rights

There can be no celebration in a country which is protecting world's interest against those people (ISIL, Al-Shabab, Boko-Haram e.t.c) that hides under the so called 'principles' of their religion

Religion problem that's why am happy with both China and India because they don't really follow the religion of sons of Abraham. The moment they allow it, there won't be peace again.
