Josh Shapiro: “Tonight, I broke fast with Muslim leaders from across Pennsylvania at the Governor’s Residence — our third Iftar since I became Governor.

“I know the final 10 days of Ramadan carry a special significance for our Muslim neighbors who have been fasting, reflecting, and praying during this holy month, commemorating when the Quran was revealed to the prophet.

“I also know that many of our Muslim neighbors are worried right now about the rise in hate and violence overseas and here at home. I want to be very clear: You belong here in Pennsylvania — and I’ll always protect your rights, defend your freedom to worship, and call out Islamophobia in all forms.

“Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak.”
