We watched in horror as the unfortunate event unfolded in the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue on Saturday. We are glad that all the hostages were released and safely reunited with their families. As muslims, we strongly condemn these acts of violence and intimidation against any group or individuals.

 

Salam, Shalom.

The Muslim community of DE is very saddened and appalled at the recent turn of events in and around the Al-Aqsa mosque, the third sacred Mosque for Muslims all over the world. The Islamic Society of Delaware (ISD) condemns in all unequivocal terms the heinous attacks in this Holy month of Ramadan on the Palestinian worshipers in the Mosque. These attacks demonstrate recklessness with the feelings of Muslims and their right to perform their rituals in Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. We pray and urge that these heinous attacks against worshippers cease at the earliest and let sanity prevail.
