Petition To Make The End Of Ramadan A National Holiday Rises In Popularity According to recent reports, a Muslim petition has just gone viral demanding that the Islamic celebration of Eid al-Fitr be recognized as a national holiday. This comes at a time when America is literally bending over backwards to accommodate the needs of the Muslim communitywhich Obama seems to value more than almost anything else. According to Mad World News, the petition has already garnered more than 127,000 signatures. That number is continuing to grow. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a celebration that Americans have also been encouraged to recognized and celebrate. Of course, Obama is responding to the petition claiming that he understands the importance of the holiday. Essentially, he is blaming Congress, claiming they are the only ones with the power to make it a national holiday. Proposals for new permanent federal holidays are typically the province of Congress, White House officials wrote on behalf of the president. While Eid is not among the public holidays designated by Congress, we want you to know that the Administration is committed to advancing the ability of all people to practice their faith, observe their religious practices, and celebrate religious holidays. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama offering more respect to Muslims than he is to Christians?
