Georgetown University in Washington

Georgetown University in Washington, and it is the first time he is observing Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of reflection and fasting, on his own.Secular progressive warriors such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hanity, thousands of preachers, our universities, public schools, the congress of the United States and even the president are accepting some secular progressive demands for fear of being labeled bigots, racist, homophobes and the recently created term Islamophobes.

Consequently because of the fear of being labeled an Islamophobe, and for the sake of tolerance, on October 4, The U.S. House of Representatives voted for the first time to honor the Islamic holiday of Ramadan, commending Muslims in the U.S. and around the world for their faith. The language of the resolution sponsored by Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) reads: "Recognizing the commencement of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal, and commending Muslims in the United States and throughout the world for their faith." The measure passed 376-0, with 42 members voting "Present."

mam Yahya Hendi, Georgetown’s Muslim chaplain for the past eight years, told USINFO that the initial days of Ramadan are the most difficult for the 450 Muslim students on campus. For the younger students, who are used to the food cooked by their mothers and the support of their siblings, the early days require some adjustment, especially if their non-Muslim roommates know little about Ramadan.But what if we had a secular progressive president in office today. THEN TODAY FUNDAMENTAL CHRISTIANS WOULD BE CONDUCTING CHURCH SERVICES IN THEIR BASEMENTS. That's how close we are. ONE PERSON.

DENTITY AND DIVERSITY

Georgetown could be the nation's oldest Catholic Jesuit university. Today, the college welcomes a religiously diverse college student system and accommodates the observances from the quite a few faiths practiced on campus, Hendi said. For example, residential dinner halls available earlier for suhoor for the duration of Ramadan.

Other students told USINFO they have a similar goal during Ramadan: To do everything better -- to be better members of the larger community and to feel better about themselves.
