Eid celebrations at White House

On the occasion of Eidul Fitr, US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden attended a reception at the White House to commemorate the Muslim feast.

Biden stated in his address that Muslims in the United States face violence, despite the fact that there should be no prejudice between humanity.

“It’s especially crucial because so many Muslims are being targeted with violence throughout the world now.” To cheers, Biden stated, “No one, no one should discriminate against repressed or oppressed people because of their religious views.”

He also addressed Islamophobia and its impact on Muslims.

“We also commemorate today all those who are unable to enjoy this holy day, including Uyghurs and Rohingyas, as well as all those who are suffering from starvation, war, conflict, and sickness,” he stated.

Biden also brought up the Yemen truce, saying it allowed Yemenis to “honor Ramadan and celebrate Eid in peace for the first time in six years.”
He ended by praising America’s concept, noting that it was the world’s only nation “organized not on the basis of religion, race, nationality, or geography, but on the basis of an idea.”
