"However, American Muslims continue to be the target of bullying, bigotry and hate crimes. This is unacceptable and must be stopped. No one in America should live in fear of expressing their beliefs. The government works tirelessly to protect the rights and security of all citizens," President Biden said.
In this Ramadan message, President Biden also mentioned the issue of lifting the travel ban for Muslims from a number of countries that he considers embarrassing.
