This is an absurdly short message. In fact it reads like a greeting card. You could practically do a Mad Libs version:

“On Behalf of [ORG], [SPOUSE] and I sincerely wish Muslims a peaceful and blessed Ramadan. Ramadan is a month of [IDEALS]. Most importantly, it is a time of [ACTIVITIES]. This time reminds us all of the common values of [PLATITUDES] we hold dear. Ramadan Kareem!”

anyway, I guess we should be at least thankful that it doesn’t recriminate Muslim Americans about terrorism.
