President Obama issued a celebratory greeting to all Muslims worldwide the same day four unarmed Marines were killed by an Islamic terrorist.

The White House made a statement wishing Muslims a happy Ramadan just hours after the Chattanooga shooting and after it had been established that the culprit was 24-year-old Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti Muslim.

Abdulazeez’s blog revealed that Islam played a central role in his ideology.

Obama paid tribute to the four dead Marines killed by an Islamic terrorist two hours after his “Eid-ul-Fitr” statement. He called the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a “heartbreaking circumstance” and refrained from referring to the incident as a “terror attack.”

President Obama remained silent earlier this week, on the death of Kate Steinle, the woman murdered by a previously deported illegal alien. Obama chastised CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett for questioning his negotiations with Iran that left four Americans in captivity in the wake of his nuclear arms agreement.
