San Antonio Muslims today spoke out in condemnation of the New York City terror attack. Here is their statement:
The Muslim Children Education and Civic Center (MCECC) condemns, in the strongest terms possible, the attack in Manhattan. An attack on one innocent life is an attack on all innocent life.
The perpetrator does not represent a shred of Islamic or Muslim values.
In these troubled times we ask all people of good conscious to pray for the victims, pray for the full recovery of the injured of this senseless massacre, and pray for the healing of our national political atmosphere that continues to promote an "us versus them" mentality.
Violence is never the answer.
The mission of MCECC is to organize and reinvigorate the Muslim Community, particularly the youth and bringing civic awareness and leadership training to our community so they may lead as Muslim Americans.
