This festival of sacrifice is a chance for us to come together and to reflect upon those less fortunate, especially those forced to make sacrifices themselves.<br \/>\n\u201cI think of all the Muslims who have come to Britain over the years \u2013 from the Indian subcontinent to the Balkans, from the Arab world to Africa, from Turkey to Kurdistan, and people from all parts of Asia \u2013 sacrificing so many things to build up Britain\u2019s businesses, run our public services and strengthen our society. Their children and grandchildren \u2013 British Muslims in our country today \u2013 help to make Britain the success story it is today.<br \/>\n\u201cAs we mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War, I think particularly of the sacrifices hundreds of thousands of Muslims made to fight alongside the Allies. The freedom for which they fought \u2013 for which so many gave their lives \u2013 is the freedom we all enjoy today.<br \/>\n\u201cAbove all, I think of all those around the world being forced to sacrifice everything in order just to stay alive. The displaced in Iraq, the beleaguered in Syria, the wounded in Gaza, the exposed in Eastern Europe \u2013 these people are giving up all they have to protect their families.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople here in Britain are giving what they can to help those in need \u2013 especially British Muslims, who are the most giving faith community in this country. This Eid, we will be thinking of those at the mercy of these conflicts and come together to pray for peace.<br \/>\n\u201cSo once again, wherever you are spending Eid, let me wish you and your family my very best wishes. Eid Mubarak.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\r\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n <fb:comments href=\"https:\/\/english.thesunrisetoday.com\/index.php\/prime-minister-david-camerons-eid-message\/\" font=\"arial\" num_posts=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" colorscheme=\"light\"  style=\"background:#FFFFFF;padding-top:0px;\r\npadding-right:0px;\r\npadding-bottom:0px;\r\npadding-left:0px;\r\nmargin-top:0px;\r\nmargin-right:0px;\r\nmargin-bottom:0px;\r\nmargin-left:0px;\r\n\"><\/fb:comments>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI want to send my best wishes to Muslims in Britain and around the world observing Eid al-Adha.
