WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following message on Ramadan:
“With the appearance of the crescent moon, Muslim families across the nation mark the beginning of Ramadan,” said Chairman Priebus. “As millions of Americans participate in this holy month of fasting, they will grow in their faith and strengthen the bonds within their families.
“In between Suhoor and Iftar, Muslims everywhere not only fast, but also place a special emphasis on charity and helping the less fortunate. All Americans, regardless of their faiths, can take time today and during this month to reflect on the importance of strong faith and strong communities.”
“Muslims across the globe spend Ramadan honoring and studying their religion,” said Co-Chairman Day. “We recognize our Muslim American communities this month and are especially mindful of the many ways they enrich our country and culture with their faith, customs and traditions. We wish all who are fasting a blessed Ramadan.”
