AhlulBayt News Agency - The Islamic Education Center – Houston (IEC-Houston) unequivocally condemns the terrible massacre that occurred in Orlando, Florida. Islam forbids the killing of innocent people, be it by individual, organized criminals or by state sponsored actions.
"We urge everyone, especially our politicians, to restrain from using this event to incite and spread hatred. It is in times like these that we must come together and unite to promote values such as love and kindness, rather than further divide the American nation."
Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to the families of the victims. In this holy month of Ramadan, we pray for the purification of souls and for peace and justice across the world.
