I am honored to be invited to celebrate Eid al Fitr at the State Department again this year. And I am relieved that this time, it’s actually taking place after Ramadan, which means I can actually attend for the first time! 🙂 I am looking forward to meeting Secretary Kerry and thanking him for his tireless work, congratulate him for his leadership in the Iran negotiations, and praising him for his clear assertion at Davos that there’s nothing inherently Islamic about violent extremism.
I’ll land in DC tonight and will hopefully have time to write my thoughts 🙂 stay tuned…
