Dean Commemorates the Start of Ramadan
October 4, 2005Washington, DC – Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement today to commemorate the start of Ramadan:
“Today Muslims in America and around the world mark the first day of Ramadan, a month of contemplation, self-sacrifice, and affirmation of our commitment to our fellow man.
“The month of Ramadan marks the revelation of the first verses of the Quran, which made the principles of peace and charity the foundation of Islam. This time is honored by a month of prayer and fasting, reminding us all to give thanks for our own blessings while renewing our commitment to ending poverty and hunger.
“We must renew our commitment to protecting civil liberties and expanding religious tolerance in our nation. And we should each take this time to fight hunger and poverty in our own communities.
“On this first day of Ramadan, my family and I express our best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world.”
If there’s one religion that knows all about expanding religious tolerance, it’s Islam.
And don’t think we weren’t already accustomed to Islam’s well established commitment to self-sacrifice, Mr. Chairman. Though their sense of “self-sacrifice” is slightly more explosive than what led you to quitting your church over a bike path. We also realize that given your concern about wearing your religion on your sleeve that it’s about time you found a belief system immune to the fashion trappings of Christian couture.

I heard that the Feds were going to make ramadan an official month-long holiday, while eliminating the holidays of Christmas and Thanksgiving altogether.
It’s the least they can do for our official government religion, islam.
I can’t wait to get my official prayer rug emblazoned with the Official Presidential Seal – cushioned to protect the knees when engaging in Federally mandated mosque licking.

Ummm…it’s the self-sacrifice part that I’m a little worried about.

“While studying political science at Yale University in 1970, Dean became eligible to be drafted for service in Vietnam. He was excused because of a bad back, then spent much of the next year in Colorado, where he worked pouring concrete and skied. “All I did was work and ski,” he said.”
Of course no one should doubt Howard Dean would fake a bad back, and pouring concrete and skiing after the discovered bad back would not raise any questions in the Muddy Stream Media.
Now isn’t that special!!!
