Excerpt:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations is partnering with several civil rights organizations to host a “NOT Trump’s Iftar” fast-breaking meal outside the White House on Wednesday, a response to the president hosting a dinner recognizing the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The White House faced criticism for neglecting to host a traditional sundown meal last year, a tradition that Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all took part in. The president announced last weekend, however, that the White House would host an iftar on Wednesday.
Trump has had a tense relationship with Muslims throughout his candidacy and presidency.
