WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (KUNA) -- US President Barack Obama greeted Muslims on Monday across the world on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha and noted that such occasion was an opportunity to abide by God's Almighty orders, sacrifice, and commitment.
"As we mark Eid al-Adha this year, we are reminded of the millions of refugees around the globe who are spending this sacred holiday separated from their families, unsure of their future, but still hoping for a brighter tomorrow," Obama said.
"And as a Nation, we remain committed to welcoming the stranger with empathy and an open heart, from the refugee who flees war-torn lands to the immigrant who leaves home in search of a better life," added the US President. (end) sd.mb
