ISA Statement regarding Boston’s Terrorist Attack

The Islamic Society of Augusta joins several Islamic organizations and other people of good will in condemning terrorism and in the conviction that those responsible for the terrorist attacks in Boston must face justice.

Our condolences to the families of those who were killed in the bombing at the Boston Marathon and our prayers for the speedy recovery of those that were injured.

All religions teach us that the lives and the properties of all human beings are sacred. There is no justification for killing innocent people and harming them in any way under any circumstances based on any motive.

While we are outraged at the terrorists, we have been inspired by the unity of Americans of all backgrounds. We are a resilient people. Now that we know the identity of the perpetrators, this unity is ever more important. We will not turn on each other in the acts of false vengeance we have witnessed after other tragedies in the past.

We thank law enforcement for their diligent efforts to protect all our nation’s citizens. We also thank the people of Boston for their acts of courage and for their serious cooperation with law enforcement that helped in capturing the suspects.

We will continue to stand together as Americans to challenge all forms of violence and to use our resources to combat its roots through education and community service programs that bring people together for better understanding.
