Muslims make America stronger even as they face real challenges and threats; Joe Biden organizes Eid celebrations at White House

WASHINGTON: Muslims make our nation stronger every single day, even as they still face real challenges and threats in our society, including targeted violence and Islamophobia, said US President Joe Biden, while talking at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations in the White House. Biden also said that he has appointed the first Muslim to serve as the Ambassador-at-Large for the International Religious Freedom.

“Around the world, we're seeing so many Muslims being targeted with violence. No one, no one should discriminate against oppressed or be oppressed for their religious beliefs. Today, we also remember all those who are not able to celebrate this holy day, including Uyghurs and Rohingyas and all those who are facing famine, violence, conflict, and disease”, he said.

“Making the US more equitable, more inclusive for Muslim Americans is an essential part of the enduring work to form the more perfect union. We are the only nation in all the history of the world that has been organized not based on a religion, race, ethnicity, geography, but on an idea. Think about that", he added.

“Jill and I were honored to host an Eid al-Fitr reception at the White House tonight, and we send our warmest greetings to everyone celebrating across the world. Eid Mubarak”, Biden said on Twitter.
