President Bush's Eid Message to Muslim Community
For Immediate Release
October 11, 2007 October 1, 2007
I send greetings to Muslims in the United States and around the world
celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast.
The great faith of Islam has enhanced our society and brought comfort and
strength to generations in America and around the world. The three day
festival of Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan and is
a time to look forward with a spirit of renewal and hope, and celebrate the
rich Islamic tradition of charity and giving. During this holiday, Muslims
gather with family and friends to share in traditional food, thank God for His
blessings, and reach out to the less fortunate.
Our Nation is proud to be a land of many beliefs, and our society is enriched
by our Muslim citizens. On the first day of Shawwal, the first month of the
Islamic calendar, may people of all faiths reflect on the values we hold in
common, including love of family, the importance of community, and gratitude to
God.
Laura and I send our best wishes for a joyful celebration. Eid Mubarak.
GEORGE W. BUSH

Muslim Code of Honor On July 11, 2007, leaders of major American Muslim
organizations met to approve a national Muslim Code of Honor, which
delineates key principles for Shiah-Sunni relations. This document is based
on similar agreements signed by Muslim leaders in California and Michigan.
On September 2, 2007, an official signing ceremony was held at ISNAs 44th
Annual Convention. The main hall erupted with joy as Shi`ah and Sunni leaders
signed the Muslim Code of Honor. Full Story

Global Muslim Leadership Makes Unprecedented Call for Accord with Christian
World WASHINGTON, October 12 In a dramatic and groundbreaking display of
inter-religious solidarity, 138 of the worlds most senior Muslim leaders have
written to the heads of all Christian churches proposing a solid base upon
which the two global faiths can co-operate in creating peace and understanding
in the world.
The basis of the letter is the shared belief of both Muslims and Christians in
the principals of love of one God and love of the neighbor. It is hoped that
the recognition of this common ground will provide the followers of both faiths
a shared understanding that will serve to diffuse tensions around the world.
