Now this can't possibly be a surprise. Still it must be scheduled between vacations and campaign trips.

From The Hill....

President Obama will host an iftar -- the special evening meal observed during Ramadan -- on Friday night in the White House dining room.

Obama participated in a similar gathering last year (shown here).

Celebrations like iftar dinners "remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings," Obama wrote in a statement Wednesday.
