Hillary Clinton Holds Belated End Of Ramadan Celebration At State Department With Libyan Ambassador

Nice timing.

Quote:

At an event officials say was planned before the attacks in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Libyan Ambassador to the U.S., Ali Aujali, celebrated the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at the State Department on Thursday.

The Eid ul-Fitr reception was held almost a month after the official end of the month on Aug. 19, delayed, officials say, because of Clintonâ€™s travel schedule.

â€œThe date [of the reception] was set purely because of scheduling considerations, especially given lengthy travel abroad recently,â€ a State Department spokesman told CNSNews.com via email.

The spokesman provided a copy of the Secretaryâ€™s schedule, showing that Thursdayâ€™s event was scheduled about 24 hours ahead of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

â€œAlthough I am many weeks overdue in saying it: Eid Mubarak,â€ Clinton said. â€œNo matter how belated we are honoring Eid and the end of Ramadan, this is a cherished tradition here at the State Department.â€

Clinton acknowledged the deaths, saying, â€œTonight, our gathering is more somber than any of us would like. This comes during sad and difficult days for the State Department family.

Obama thanks Egypt's president
over embassy protection
Reuters, by Edmund Blair & Louise Ireland

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has thanked the Egyptian president for securing the U.S. Embassy during protests against a film made in the United States that mocked Prophet Mohammad and sparked worldwide demonstrations and violence.

Obama's rival in the U.S. presidential race, Mitt Romney, called for a tougher line with Egypt after protesters scaled the compound wall and tore down the U.S. flag on September 11.

Police clashed with demonstrators for four days after that incident and barriers were erected to stop them getting near the compound.

In a letter, Obama repeated Washington's condemnation of the film and said he looked forward to working with President Mohamed Mursi to build on the "strategic partnership", Mursi's official Facebook page said on Sunday.

"In his letter, President Obama thanked the Egyptian president for Egyptian efforts to secure the mission of the United States in Cairo," according to the site.

Obama tells United Nations it is 'time to
heed the words of Gandhi', condemns
'disgusting' anti-Islam video and insists
'Muslims have suffered the most at the
hands of extremism'
Daily Mail, by Toby Harnden

President Barack Obama delivered an extensive denunciation of a 'crude and disgust

ing' anti-Islam video made in California, telling the United Nations that 'it is time to heed the words of Gandhi' and declaring: 'The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.'

Obama strongly condemned the protests that spread across the Middle East and the murder of Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, branding them 'an assault on America'.

But he stated that the unrest and murderous attacks were the result of the low-budget video, which had 'sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world'.

He said: 'I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity. It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well â€“ for as the city outside these walls makes clear, we are a country that has welcomed people of every race and religion.

'We are home to Muslims who worship across our country. We not only respect the freedom of religion â€“ we have laws that protect individuals from being harmed because of how they look or what they believe. We understand why people take offence to this video because millions of our citizens are among them.'

Obama Rebuilds Mosques While Churches Burn
FrontPage Magazine, by Frank Crimi

While Christian churches are being destroyed on a near daily basis in Muslim countries throughout the world, the Obama administration is investing millions of dollars to rebuild overseas Islamic mosques and minarets.

According to the State Department, the mosque restoration program, first reported on back in 2010, is a â€œcultural preservationâ€ project designed to â€œfight Islamic extremism by building relationships with Islamic leaders.â€

To that end, the State Department, through the US Agency for International Development, is spending millions to preserve mosques and minarets in 27 different Islamic countries.

While the State Department would not reveal the entire cost of its Muslim outreach program, it did acknowledge one restoration project, the refurbishing of Egyptâ€™s 1,300-year-old Amr Ibn El-Aas Mosque, was part of a $770 million program to rebuild Cairoâ€™s sewer system.

Report: Foreign Nationals
Donating to Obama Campaign
Washington Free Beacon, by Andrew Stiles

A groundbreaking new report raises serious questions as to whether President Barack Obamaâ€™s reelection campaign is knowingly, and illegally, accepting and soliciting donations from foreign nationals.

The Government Accountability Institute (GAI), run by Stanford University research fellow Peter Schweizer, conducted an extensive, six-month investigation examining the potential for fraudulent and foreign funds being funneled to U.S. political campaigns via the Internet.

The â€œalarmingâ€ results detailed in the report, GAI found, highlight â€œa serious and systemic threat to the integrity of the U.S. election systemâ€ that demands a full-scale investigation by federal authorities.

The Obama campaign in particular warrants further scrutiny, the report and subsequent analysis by GAIâ€™s lawyers determined, because it is the organization with the greatest potential to solicit and accept fraudulent and foreign donations online.

The report suggests there is compelling evidence to suggest that the Obama campaign is not only breaking law, but also doing so deliberately.

State Dept. Official Refuses to
Call Attackers in Libya Terrorists
CNS News, by Elizabeth Harrington

(CNSNews.com) â€“ Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Charlene Lamb refused to use the word â€œterroristâ€ during her testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday, saying she is not in the position to make â€œany judgments on my own.â€

Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) pressed Lamb, who appeared as a witness on Capitol Hill on the security breaches surrounding the attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi last month, following her testimony:

â€œToday as I listen to people, and you, Ms. Lamb, have said youâ€™ve described these attackers in a number of ways, but you donâ€™t mention terrorist at all. Why is that?â€ Burton asked.

Obama's ring: 'There is no god but Allah'
He's worn band on wedding-ring finger since before he met Michelle
WND

NEW YORK â€“ As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack Obamaâ€™s practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger puzzled his colleagues.

Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the coupleâ€™s wedding ceremony in 1992.

Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: â€œThere is no god except Allah.â€

Inscription on Obama's ring

The Shahada is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam, expressing the two fundamental beliefs that make a person a Muslim: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allahâ€™s prophet.

Sincere recitation of the Shahada is the sole requirement for becoming a Muslim, as it expresses a personâ€™s rejection of all other gods.

Congressman Gave Binder of Muslims to Obama?
Breitbartâ€™s Big Government, by Awr Hawkins

Critics have tried to make something out of nothing regarding Mitt Romney's "binder" statement regarding women. Somehow, the fact that the Governor of Massachusetts sought out women to hire at the highest levels of state government is embarrassing because of the physical object which he says housed their rÃ©sumÃ©s.

Some pundits on the left have claimed the "binder" comment reflects a condescending or patronizing view towards women. But how might they react to a reported binder of Muslim Americans that was handed to the Obama White House in an effort to secure jobs within the admin?

According to blog site Boker tov, Boulder!, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) passed on a collection of 45 Muslim potential hires to President Obama. The effort to match these 45 individuals with jobs inside the administration was moving slowly and quietly until White House officials recently sped the process up.

Said J. Saleh Williams, program director for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association: "It was mostly under the radar. We thought it would put the president in a precarious position. We didn't know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community."

It would seem, then, that sometimes it takes a binder to help minorities break that glass ceiling -- a lesson the President was bound to learn eventually.
