Government Does Respect the Celebration of Religious Holidays
One year [HRC] rescheduled the dinner reception of one her favorite holidays 3 weeks to ensure her guests could truly celebrate the Eid al Fitr at the end of Ramadan.
[Hussain] and [HRC] never missed on celebrating the end of Ramadan each year with a dinner reception. Typically the WH held a large Iftar dinner reception near the end of Ramadan month of fasting and State Department held a reception for the high holy day, Eid al Fitr. The White House and State Department archives include each years details including announcements, guest lists, speeches and videos.
One exception was the August 20 2012 Eid dinner reception by the State Department. After all, it was stressful month of Ramadan for many Muslims in the US.
In July, Rep Bachmann and others in Congress presented their letter concerning ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Congress. [Hussain] and [McCain] voiced their support for staff aide Abedin. Thru it all, the WH was able to hold an annual Iftar dinner reception during Ramadan and sent out a press release August 18, 2012 with Eid celebration well wishes. The State Department sent out a press release of well wishes but no notification of a holiday dinner reception. The Eid dinner reception was rescheduled more than 3 weeks after the Muslim high holy day for September 13 2012.
Guess the State Department and their Muslim Brotherhood friends had something to celebrate, September 11, 2012. Not even a terrorist attack on a US consulate facility and the murder of four Americans could inter with celebrating a significant religious holiday. Ignore the fact that the holiday was celebrated August 19-20.
Despite events erupting throughout the world that week, it was important the Eid reception continue as noted by email sent by Huma Abedin to [HRC] the morning of Sept 12,
"the eid reception could not have been worse timing"

Now in 2020, the governors of these United States remind the citizens that there is a stay-at-home order in effect, orders limiting the size of gatherings. Remember it is for the general health and wellbeing of the public. As tax-paying citizens you are essential to the state. Please remember the governors have taken an oath of office to respect for the First Amendment Right guaranteeing the free exercise of religion and right of the people peaceably to assemble.
However you and your family may choose to celebrate the Easter, the most important part of the holiday is offer God a prayerful Thanks and Praise for the beloved gift of Salvation thru Christ Jesus. God’s Blessings Anons.
