                       CELEBRATION OF EID AL-FITR

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. This week marks the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which 
comes at the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
  Ramadan is a time that strengthens our faith, deepens compassion, and 
brings people together in care for one another, but I also know that 
this Ramadan has been incredibly difficult for many of our families, 
especially those with loved ones in Lebanon and in Palestine.
  I am sending love to all of the families who have lost loved ones and 
those who are celebrating Eid on top of the rubble of their masjids and 
their homes.
  Even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, our Muslim neighbors have 
continued to show resilience. They continue to come together in 
community and supporting one another. As we gather to celebrate, let us 
keep showing up for each other and speaking out against injustices and 
caring for our communities with compassion and solidarity.
  To all of the millions of Muslim Americans in our country right now, 
I want you to know that not everybody in this Chamber sees you as less 
human. A majority of us in this Chamber know that you are worthy of 
life, liberty, and justice.
  May this Eid bring us closer to a future grounded in peace, justice, 
and dignity for all.
  ``Blessed Eid''; ``Eid mubarak'' to every Muslim here in the United 
States and around the world.
