Sara Omar, grandma of US President Barack Obama, has emphasized
the significance of the Prophet Muhammad exhibition in Makkah
and said it reflects the moderate teachings of Islam that calls
for tolerance and rejects violence.
Sara has come to Makkah with her son Saeed Obama, uncle of
President Obama and her grandson Mousa Obama to perform Umrah.
She commended the Saudi government’s efforts to expand the two
holy mosques.
Sara and her family members visited the Prophet’s show, which is
located in the Naseem district of Makkah, for two hours. “I am
very happy to visit this exhibition, which is a good example for
the propagation of Islam in a modern way, supported by
scientific and authentic documents.”
Obama’s grandma also expressed hope that the exhibition would
visit other countries with the support of the Saudi government
in order to remove the misunderstandings about the divine
religion.
