The Islamic Association of Greater Hartford Statement on the attacks on Jews during Hanukah Celebration and on Christians in Texas during worship:
The Islamic Association of Greater Hartford strongly condemns the vicious attacks on Jews in NYC during Hanukkah celebration and on the Christian worshipers at the West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas. We stand in support of our Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters against hate and bigotry.
Our hearts and prayers go to the families and friends of the victims of these senseless attacks.
We must stand together to oppose violence, hate and the targeting of places of worship. People of any faith tradition must feel safe and free to worship in their places of worship without fear or intimidation.
The Islamic Association of Greater Hartford remains committed to confront anti- Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of hatred.
