President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation's culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country," Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday's daily fast.
Obama shared the story of Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, who broke a state record for most career points as a Massachusetts high school student.
"As an honor student, as an athlete on her way to Memphis, Bilqis is an inspiration not simply to Muslim girls -- she's an inspiration to all of us," he said.
( I have never heard Obama praised Christian students or athletes in fact awhile back he said America is not a Christian nation but a nation which has many faiths. Also if Obama is going to share the story of a Muslim girl he should at least take time to point out how girls in Muslim nations and even in some cases in their own families are abused. Look at the post I did on Rifqa Bary who's life might be in danger because she left the Islam faith to become a Christian see
