CAIR Condemns Attacks on Churches in Iraq
From The Council on American-Islamic RelationsWe condemn these vicious attacks in the strongest terms possible. The identity of the perpetrators is not known, but their motive of creating religious divisions is obvious. Harming those engaged in worship violates the principles of all faiths. Religiously and historically, Islam mandated the protection of churches and synagogues. The Prophet Muhammad and his successors sought to protect houses of worship and the communities they serve. We offer condolences to the families of those killed and injured, and call for increased security measures at all religious sites in Iraq. Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-08-06 |
