The message is : "I want to join with the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world - and your families and friends - in welcoming the beginning of Ramadan":

Are we going to see greetings from the President to Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Pagans, atheists, etc, on their holy days or they don't exist in this world????

Dr. pipes comments: "Just as Obama earlier cited the exaggerated figure of nearly seven million U.S. Muslims, so he now uses this too-large number, both times pandering to Muslims."

This was not unexpected!!!
