                              EID MUBARAK

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, this week, we celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end 
of the holy month of Ramadan.
  As we finish this month of fasting, I want to recognize the beautiful 
Muslim community in Michigan's 12th Congressional District and around 
the world. Eid Mubarak.
  This Ramadan has been a time of deep spiritual reflection and an 
opportunity to be in community with each other, but it also has been a 
painful time for so many Muslim families around the world.
  I remind my colleagues that many of the Muslim families you represent 
are thinking of the Palestinians in Gaza who continue to be starved and 
ethnically cleansed. On the day of Eid, when children were celebrating 
in their Sunday best, as many call it, they were killed. They were 
killed as they were celebrating Eid.
  As we gather to celebrate Eid, we have to also recognize and hold in 
our hearts all those facing violence and oppression around the world.
  May this Eid bring peace, justice, and freedom for all.
