Watch Obama Thank Muslims For Building The Very Fabric Of Our Nation According to recent reports, President Obama just publicly thanked Muslims on the White House website for building the very fabric of our nation. The statement was meant to be a tribute to Eid-al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan and the fasting period. Obama took the occasion as the opportunity to claim that the religion played a role in making America what it is today. According to the White House Statement: In the United States, Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy. What do you think? Are Obamas comments completely absurd?
