Controversy over Trump’s Iftar party at White House, American Muslims furious after seeing the guest list

New Delhi: Donald Trump hosted the first Iftar party at the White House as US President. But this Iftar party of Trump has been surrounded by controversies. American Muslims are furious over this Iftar dinner.

President Trump, while hosting the Iftar dinner at the White House, said that I welcome all of you to the Iftar dinner at the White House. We are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan in Islam. This is a very wonderful month. Ramadan Mubarak to Muslims all over the world. We respect one of the best religions in the world.

He said that during this holy month, Muslims keep fast from morning to evening. They worship God. After this, Muslims all over the world unite with families and friends every night to thank God and have Iftar. We all want peace in the whole world.

Trump also thanked the Muslim American community for his victory in the 2024 presidential election. Let us tell you that there is a two-decade-old tradition of organizing Iftar party in the White House. But there are allegations that this time American Muslim MPs and leaders associated with the community were not invited to attend it. Instead, foreign ambassadors of Muslim countries were invited to attend the Iftar dinner.

Several Muslim civil rights groups protested Not Trump’s Iftar outside the White House. During this, a protester said that this is a kind of hypocrisy of Donald Trump. On the one hand, he bans the entry of Muslims in the country and on the other hand he organizes Iftar party.

Let us tell you that earlier in 2017, Trump had canceled the White House Iftar party during his first term as President. In fact, in 1996, during the tenure of the then US President Bill Clinton, Iftar party was started in the White House, which was also continued by later presidents George Bush and Barack Obama. Apart from eminent members of the Muslim community, diplomats and senators from Muslim countries have been attending this Iftar party.
