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. That is why we stand with people of all faiths, here at home and around the world, to protect and advance their rights to prosper, and we welcome their commitment to giving back to their communities.
On behalf of the Administration, we wish Muslims in the United States and around the world a blessed and joyous celebration. Eid Mubarak.

The statement above was made by the President of the United States on 7/28/2014; I would like to ask him (the President) at this point have you read a single non common core history book in your entire life? The fabric of America was contributed to by Islam? Even Malcolm X I believe would disagree with that statement. The USA has been at odds with Islamic politics since the beginning of Islamic politics and although a growing religion in this nation it is not the largest nor even one that tries to contribute anything to American communities other than places like Dearborn Michigan which has one of the if not the highest concentration of Muslims in this nation, they care little for American society.
The above statement seems like a child trying to appease a bully to me and Mr. President if you do not remember what that is like and how it usually ends, let me remind you, the Bully acts like a bully. In this case Islam is the bully sir and you are the child running from the said bully.
Israel has it right; the only real way to defeat a bully is to stand up against them. Bring their cowardice into the light and make them act in the fashion they are used to with the world watching. I served this nation proudly and each day I read your cowardice remarks and now I pity the servicemen who must serve under you. They sir are prepared to deal with the bullies of this world just as our fathers did in WWII but you sir can be found doing everything you can to appease the bullies which only makes them stronger. I say this sir, any lives lost now to a terrorist attack on this nation are on your hands and like Lady Macbeth you will spend the rest of your life washing them clean to no avail.
