White House hosting (another) Ramadan feast for Muslims

Classic White House news dump – on the Saturday of a long, holiday weekend.
Yet another Islamic event at the White House to continue celebrating the Month of Jihad (according to Muslims). Take the hint at what this “Next Generation” gathering is signaling. Hat tip BareNakedIslam
The administration’s marking of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan continues Tuesday when the State Department hosts an event geared toward young Muslims and an Iftar dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
President Obama hosted an Iftar meal breaking the day’s Ramadan fast on Aug. 13. In his speech, he supported the right of the Muslim community to build the planned controversial mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, comments that touched off a firestorm including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) breaking with the president and saying the Islamic center should be built elsewhere.
Tuesday’s dinner will feature a video address from Clinton. Special Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Pandith will host a special “Generation Change” event before the dinner with speakers and discussion groups.
“Consistent with the Secretary’s commitment to engaging the ‘next generation’ at the grassroots level, this year’s Iftar will feature many guests chosen because they represent some of the best and most innovative American Muslim leaders under the age of 30,” the State Department said in a press release Saturday.

Expect a new statement the Ground Zero mosque now that Caliph POTUS has had time to recalibrate his message to the Ummah America.
