Bush Praises Islam at White House Ramadan Dinner

U.S. President George W. Bush met with Muslim leaders living in the United States and a group of diplomatic representatives from Muslim countries on Tuesday for a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner, known as iftar, at the White House.

Bush started his iftar speech with the traditional Ramadan greeting of “Ramadan Karim” when he praised Islam as a religion that brought hope and peace to more than a billion people worldwide.

“You know that the majority of the victims of the terrorists have been innocent Muslims, and many of you have seen terrorist violence in your own cities and your streets,” Bush said, according to the Associated Press. “We are proud to work with you to defeat the terrorists and extremists and help bring a brighter future to millions of Muslim people throughout the world who yearn for moderation and peace.”

Dinner included soup, fish, tomato salad and a pear soufflé for desert. This was the sixth iftar dinner Bush welcomed Muslims to at the White House since 2001.

Among the guests was Condoleezza Rice, the U.S. Secretary of State.
