Trump terms Ramzan as month of tolerance, peace

US President Donald Trump has said that Ramzan is a very special month during which people seek tolerance and peace. 

He was speaking as he hosted an iftar party at the White House and expressed grief over the gruesome terrorist attacks in New Zealand and Sri Lanka. 

He said it has been a very rough period, stating that Americans' hearts are filled with grief for the Muslims who were killed in their mosques in New Zealand, as well as the Christians, Jews and other



children of God slain in Sri Lanka, California and Pittsburgh.

Mr Trump hosted his second iftaar as President for eminent Muslim members from his administration and top diplomats from various countries last night. 

He resolved to defeat what he called the evils of terrorism and religious persecution so that all people can worship without fear, pray without danger and live by the faith that flows from their heart.
