Ramadan 2015: David Cameron\u2019s message<\/a><\/p>\n

Full transcript<\/h2>\n

I\u2019d like to send my very best wishes to everyone observing the holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a hugely important time as Muslims in Britain and across the world mark the foundation of their faith.<\/p>\n

And as friends and families come together in contemplation and in fasting, we are reminded of those Muslim values \u2013 those British values \u2013 of community, family and charity.<\/p>\n

You can see them in centuries past, when Muslim soldiers served bravely alongside their comrades, from the trenches of the First World War, to the skies of the Second World War.<\/p>\n

And you can see them today with British Muslims giving more to charity than any other faith group in Britain, fulfilling their sacred duty of Zakat by making a real difference to lives blighted by conflict and disaster, and with British Muslims at the top of every field \u2013 from our biggest businesses, to our precious health service to our Houses of Parliament, and yes \u2013 to the Cabinet I lead.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve talked a lot about one nation \u2013 about Britain being a country where everyone can get on \u2013 whatever their background and wherever they\u2019re from. British Muslims embody that spirit.<\/p>\n

They prove that this can be a country where success is determined not by your colour, community or creed, but a place where you can go as far as your talents will take you.<\/p>\n

So as families, friends and communities come together at Iftar each evening, I hope all of them, and everyone else across Britain, will reflect on the universal values that Ramadan represents \u2013 and the contribution that British Muslims make to our country.<\/p>\n

Ramadan Mubarak to you all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
