VOA News - Obama Sends Video Greetings For Ramadan

U.S. President Barack Obama has welcomed the beginning of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in a video address posted on the White House website.

Mr. Obama begins the video greeting with wishes for a blessed month for Muslims worldwide. "On behalf of the American people, including Muslim communities in all 50 states, I want to extend best wishes to Muslims in American and around the world. Ramadan Kareem," he said.

In the nearly five minute message, Mr. Obama mentions U.S. initiatives to isolate violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"All of these efforts are a part of America's commitment to engage Muslims and Muslim-majority nations on the basis of mutual interest and mutual respect. And at this time of renewal, I want to reiterate my commitment to a new beginning between America and Muslims around the world," he said.
